Hello, I'm Rachel Richards, licensed professional therapist and founder of Four Winds Therapy. My commitment to providing therapy comes from a deep appreciation for the innate shared humanness and capacity for healing contained in each individual. I enjoy helping others. I have 30 years of experience as a provider in the field of mental health, working in many roles and settings, helping humans of many different ages and backgrounds to become the best version of themselves. I also share my knowledge and experience by supervising talented associate licensed therapists. It is an honor for me to help each and every client.
Decades of experience in systems work, depth psychology, and education along with a personal commitment to authenticity, honesty and compassion allow me to serve the diverse needs of clients with flexibility and expertise. I offer a client centered approach and treat every client with respect by truly honoring our shared humanity and capacity for healing.
I enjoy making genuine connections with people as I believe that it is through connection that we all can heal.  Whether for therapy or supervision, I attempt to connect each human with their full potential awareness. I invite you to schedule an introductory session with me or with one of our talented associates to determine how I can be most helpful to you.
