Waitlist for new clients
Hello, It takes courage to speak with a therapist, so I commend you for taking this first step to look for help. I provide a safe, non-judgmental, supportive, genuine and warm space for you to seek and get the help that you need in therapy. I am trained in cognitive and behavioral therapy, but I take an eclectic approach to helping my patients. What this means is that I believe there is not a "one size fits all" way to provide therapy. A skilled therapist should adapt the therapy they provide to each client's individual needs.

Hello! I'm Mark Richardson (He/They), a Licensed Master of Social Work based in Fort Worth, TX. I've dedicated my career to working with "difficult" populations since 2015. Having a rather multifaceted identity, I prioritize acceptance in therapy, drawn from my own experiences of not always feeling seen and understood. Before private practice, I worked in an inpatient setting, primarily with adolescent clients with diagnoses of substance use disorders, mood disorders, and personality disorders. My areas of focus lie in substance use disorders, ADHD, autism, agoraphobia, homelessness, LGBTQIA+ issues, grief and anxiety.

Transgender Therapists
As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
