Introduction

Using attachment based, trauma informed and client centered evidence based interventions, I provide support through connection, compassion, curiosity and humor to highlight and build upon your already existing strengths in your journey towards healing. I work with young children, adolescents, adults and caregiver & child dyads to support healthy communication, emotional regulation, transitions, development & relationships. I have experience supporting individuals and families during significant events and through the challenges of navigating systems before and after diagnosis. I encourage and support the exploration of race, culture and identity as well as self-compassion, mindfulness practices and setting boundaries as significant pieces in being able to care for yourself as you navigate caring for others in your life. Finding the right therapist is so important- if you think I may be a good fit to support you in your journey, please reach out to me for a free consultation at: cortneyrichardson.lcsw@gmail.com
