The best way to find about me is to check out my web site, dr-rick.com. There, you'll get a good sense of my perspective and how I view life's challenges and opportunities. Don't miss the "blum-blog." My style of practice is ideal for people who want real change in their lives, who expect that their therapist knows how to achieve this, and who are eager to learn about themselves in order to make it happen. The best approach includes our becoming a team, each bringing our part to the adventure.

My ideal client is looking for therapy to help them and wants to change their life for the better.

Personal power is a phrase often said, but not always understood. Owning the impact of the choices you make, comes with recognizing the power your voice and behavior have on your future. The journey I have chosen has offered me the understanding of the physical and emotional impact of change, by owning my power to have the life I want. I want to offer you the support we all require, to consciously begin your journey to own your power to change your life.

The people that I work with often do not understand why they are feeling depressed, anxious, angry, disappointed and so forth, let alone where it stems from or how to change it. I work using multiple therapy models tailored to an individual's needs and personality. We will work collaboratively to uncover the root of distress and develop the tools needed to overcome the challenges that are problematic.

Above all, therapy is a relationship. I work collaboratively with my clients to develop a safe, trusting, and attuned relationship that we can use to explore problematic patterns of relating, work through emotional tensions and conflicts, and better understand themselves. Through the therapeutic relationship, we can begin to unravel those patterns that keep people wondering, "why does this keep happening?", fully experience emotions, develop a greater sense of self-awareness and vitality, and understand how the past impacts and influences the present.
