Richard Sladich
(He/Him/His)
Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC)
Although I have experience in treating an array of issues, I specialize in anxiety disorders and adult autism.
I am also a Certified TEAM-CBT Therapist with the Feeling Good Institute. I am also a certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS). Although I have experience in treating an array of issues, I specialize in the range of problems that exists from depression to Social Anxiety Disorder. I know what it takes to treat Social Anxiety Disorder because I have overcome it myself (more about this on my web site). I also focus on the issues of generalized anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, agoraphobia, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and/or depression. As your counselor, I will provide you with a safe, comfortable, supportive environment where you can express yourself without judgement or shame, and with acceptance. I enjoy working with clients regardless of race/ethnicity, religious beliefs, or sexual orientations. Working together we will develop your individual counseling goals and a plan to achieve those goals. I rely mostly on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with person-centered approaches. I offer sessions via video, at my office, or at your home if needed. Please note that the contact number given via Psychology Today does not allow text messaging.
