You may know that something needs to change without knowing which kind of counseling to request. Individual counseling offers space to explore your own feelings, choices, and recurring struggles. Couples counseling brings the relationship into focus, while premarital counseling gives partners time to discuss the life they want to build together.

At the Arroyo Grande practice, the starting question is what brings you here. Perhaps worry is taking up too much of your day, a relationship feels increasingly distant, or a difficult experience still affects how you respond to people. Share a concrete example and the change you hope to make.

Dr. Richardson can discuss her approaches, including EMDR and Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy, and explain what may fit your situation. There is no need to arrive with a diagnosis or a preferred technique.
