Therapists in Lexington, KY

Therapy serves a unique purpose to each individual. I'm committed to helping you, your partner, or your family work towards the goals and individual hopes you identify as important to your life and relationships. I focus on creating an atmosphere that is safe and provides you with a place to share your story without fear of judgment. Therapy can help you find solutions and learn skills to help you cope with daily stresses, relational and marital problems, past trauma, job stress, grief and loss, etc. I can offer professional guidance and support as you identify and work towards your goals.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 4 years of therapy experience serving children and adults with depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, life transitions, and school/behavior problems. I use a combination of techniques to meet your individual needs.

My counseling focus is Marriage and Relationship counseling as well as depression and anxiety. I believe our core problems tend to stem from our desire to be validated and loved by others. When we do not feel worthy, "good enough" or loved we engage in self-protective behaviors (fight or flee), pain comes to the surface and we experience hurt, anger, anxiety and other destructive emotions.

As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), I have been practicing since 2009 with experience in mental and behavioral health counseling with adolescents and adults. I received my Bachelor's degree in Social Work from the University of Kentucky and my Master's degree in Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I have training in a variety of counseling approaches to customize therapy to fit each client's individual needs, including Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

It can be difficult to find a therapist you feel you can trust. I strive to make every person feel heard, understood, and respected. You are the expert on yourself. It is my role to listen and help you find your own answers. We will work together to develop the therapeutic skills necessary to propel you forward. I also seek to focus on strengths and positive psychology including using humor, incorporating your spiritual beliefs if desired, encouraging your talents, and strengthening your support network.

You are the expert of YOU and the answers you seek are within you. I believe my role is to guide you and to help clear away the obstacles to your Truth. Often we find ourselves trapped in maladaptive thinking and behaviors that we know are unhealthy, but we can't seem to find a way to change those behaviors or create new, healthy ones. In my 22 years of experience as a Mental Health and Substance Use Therapist I have developed a therapeutic orientation that blends the Eastern Philosophies (Tao, Buddhism) with Western Psychotherapies and I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs to help you explore, heal, and flourish.

Hi! My name is Laura Richards and I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky. I attended most of my education in Arizona and then finished up my Master's degree in Tennessee and I've been practicing for eight years. I love to help adults of all ages who either have a trauma history or are experiencing anxiety or depression.

Counseling is weird. You hang out in an office with a stranger who looks like a cozy accountant, there's some real talk about your personal problems, then money changes hands. I've been on both sides of this, so I get it. But maybe it's okay if this sort of thing is a little different, a little weird. My whole thing is about getting you unstuck, and that only happens with a change of perspective. Thinking differently. Acting differently.

Often people come into my office wondering how and when things will get better, whether it is a parent bringing in their child they are not sure how to help after a traumatic event, or an individual just wondering how they will make it into next week. I believe in working with people through their crisis and into living fuller, healthier lives. This can look like individual sessions or even integration of family systems depending on the needs of each client.

Don’t let depression or anxiety steal another day of your life. Find peace and purpose in the middle of the pain and hardship. I want to help you accomplish your goals.
