About Bernice Springer Richards

I am a licensed professional in New York with 18 years of experience helping individuals navigate challenges such as stress, anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and depression. My philosophy centers on the belief that you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to partner with you in defining and working toward your best self. I take a collaborative, client-centered, and solution-oriented approach to therapy, integrating techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), behavior modification, and problem-solving to foster your growth and progress. Seeking a more fulfilling and joyful life takes immense courage, and I am here to support and empower you every step of the way. If you’re ready to take the first steps toward change, I look forward to working with you and helping you on your journey.
