Who I Am

I, Mary M. Richards am a native Texan. I have over 13 years of experience as a licensed counselor. My passion is helping individuals find the goodness within themselves and guiding them in becoming the ultimate self they strive to be with their God given purpose in life. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I also have experience working with individuals that have been diagnosed with Schizophrenia, Bi-Polar Disorder, Anxiety, and Depression, and may struggle with addictions. I believe that there is always hope for renewal and a bright future so long as we focus on our strengths, goals, and our faith in God. Furthermore, I believe that we should laugh about at least one thing daily and love with compassion. With God’s grace, we can have a new beginning, a renewal in life.
