My name is Richard Lenchner, LMFT and I have been a practicing therapist for approximately 31 years. I believe that everyone deserves a happy and healthy life. This can be achieved when you learn how to balance your life emotionally, spiritually, physically and mentally (ESPM). I specialize in helping individuals deal with addiction/recovery, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, codependency, motivation, self-esteem/worth and finding their balance. Together we can work on helping you achieve confidence, happiness and a fulfilling life.
My therapeutic approach is eclectic, utilizing, emphasizing an existential-humanistic and cognitive-behavioral perspective. I tend to use different strategies, modalities, coping skills and interventions from numerous treatment methods such as narrative, RET, reality focused, CBT, Gestalt along with a directive approach.
My focus is on adult individuals who struggle with addiction, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, codependency, motivation, self-esteem/worth issues, trauma and finding their balance in life. I also work with dancers, musicians, writers, and others in the entertainment and artistic industries.

My style depends on the person I'm working with at the time. My approach tends to be straightforward, honest, open, direct, and compassionate. I find that by using analogies, I can help create more understanding and insight into past and current issues.
