Therapy for Morro Bay Residents
One office in Arroyo Grande. All in-person sessions take place at 350 Blue Sky Drive, Arroyo Grande, CA 93420. Teletherapy for clients in California may also be available when appropriate.
A thoughtful next step when you are looking for a therapist
You may be considering counseling for the first time, or returning with a clearer idea of what you need. Morro Bay residents can contact Katty Richardson to discuss individual or relationship concerns, ask about her approach, and explain what they are looking for in a therapeutic relationship.
If you have had therapy before, your questions may be specific: how will goals be discussed, what felt helpful previously, and what would you like to approach differently? Her professional profile is a useful place to start that research.
Office visits take place at 350 Blue Sky Drive in Arroyo Grande. Because attending from Morro Bay involves a regional trip, you can also ask about appropriate California teletherapy. The sections below cover both the personal and practical parts of getting started.
Ask about working with Dr. Richardson or explore other communities served.
Returning to therapy with clearer questions
If you have tried counseling before, you may have a better sense of what you need this time. Morro Bay adults considering Dr. Richardson’s practice can talk about what was helpful, what felt missing, and what has brought them back to seeking support. Previous therapy does not mean you should already have everything resolved.
In individual counseling, you can explore recurring anxiety, self-criticism, or painful experiences that still shape your reactions. Dr. Richardson’s approaches include Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy and EMDR. Ask how she would think about your concerns; a different approach is not a promise of a particular result or timeline.
If you are returning as a couple, describe what has changed since earlier counseling and what each partner wants now. Relationship sessions are available at the Arroyo Grande office. Morro Bay clients can also ask about California teletherapy when the travel commitment would make regular appointments difficult.

Questions from Morro Bay clients
Is it useful to mention earlier counseling when I inquire?
Yes. You can briefly say what you found helpful or difficult and what you are looking for now. Detailed history can be discussed in the clinical setting rather than included in an initial message.
Can Dr. Richardson promise a short course of therapy?
The length of care depends on the concerns and circumstances involved. Her profile explains that complex or longstanding difficulties may require more time. Ask about goals and how progress would be discussed.
Do Morro Bay clients need to travel for every appointment?
Teletherapy may be an option while you are physically in California if it is clinically appropriate. Discuss the format with Dr. Richardson; do not assume an online arrangement before it has been confirmed.
Where do we meet if I choose office appointments?
