Welcome to RNR Counseling Services LCSW, PLLC! My name is Rich, and I have been a therapist since 2010 and in private practice since 2023. RNR offers appointments from 6p-8p Monday through Thursday and Saturday 9a-1p. I offer expanded hours of availability on some holidays. I offer counseling to people ages 12 and up. I have a lot of experience working with both children and adults. I can help children improve their behavior at home and at school. I enjoy working with both children and adults on coping skills, improving self-esteem, anger management using mindfulness, CBT and elements of DBT to improve client's symptoms.
I approach counseling from a strength-based perspective and provide reassurance and support to clients. I offer a client a safe space to share their story and the ability for them to dictate their treatment goals and potential outcomes. I try to offer a chance for a client within 1 week if needed if the insurance is verified.
I understand life can be stressful and demanding in today's world. I feel that as well. I teach client's mindfulness techniques, communication skills, and more. Techniques that I use in my life. I am empathetic and attentive during sessions and really focus on client's needs during sessions.

I often use Solution Focused Brief Therapy in my sessions. In your first session with me we will discuss what brought you to therapy and discuss the best way to help you make progress as well as work on your assessment. I also use elements of Motivational Interviewing, CBT and DBT theory during sessions. Clients are the experts of their lives and have a right to tell their story.
