About Embrace the Journey Therapeutic Services
Mindy Richard, LCSW 61077
I provide tele-health Therapy services through PATH and HEADWAY. This allows you to use your insurance coverage. I feel it is important that you have access to therapy that is free or low cost.
I believe that we all encounter challenges in life. Often, we do not have a safe space without judgement to process through those challenges. While working with me you will have an opportunity to process thoughts, feelings and challenges. I create a safe place where you are not judged or criticized. When speaking with me, all of your information is confidential and protected.

My Experience
I have worked in the Social Service Field for 22 years. I have worked in Hospitals, Medical Clinics, Residential treatment for children, Public Schools, a Rape Crisis Center and an Oncology Center. I have had the opportunity to provide Social Work and Therapy services to individuals, couples and families with all different situations. I believe this is what makes me different as a therapist. My experience comes from seeing a client during their struggles and often being there with them during difficult times.
I have been a licensed therapist for 10 years and have integrated much of what I have learned in these settings in order to help individuals and couples. I have grown as a therapist and as a person from working with my clients.
My focus is working with individuals and couples that are struggling with emotional challenges such as Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Mood Instability, Post Partum issues, Grief, End of life issues and emotional distress related to coping with illness and injury. I have unique experience working with Cancer patients, Burn Survivors and critically ill patients.
My goal is to help each client learn tools to increase their quality of life and decrease emotional distress. I believe that therapy is a journey. The journey can be difficult at times but can also be rewarding.
My philosophy
I am very warm and welcoming to all clients. I believe that every client is unique and deserves an approach tailored to their needs. I work to identify your specific needs and provide an environment that meets those needs. I will meet you where you are at and will help you identify your goals.
This is a quote that I live by in my practice. You will remember how you felt in therapy more then you will remember exactly what was said. I will always make you feel heard, understood and comfortable.
