Starting therapy can feel daunting because sometimes it’s not one big problem; it’s everything all at once. The overthinking, the pressure, and relationships that feel stressful or draining are taking a toll on you. As an LCSW, I help youth, teens and young adults address anxiety, ADHD, trauma, relationships and self-doubt in a way that feels real and doable. Therapy with me is collaborative, down-to-earth, and focused on what actually helps.

I graduated with distinction from California State University, Northridge with a Master's Degree in Social Work and Bachelor's Degree in Sociology. I've spent years working with youth, families, and adults, including those in foster care or have had DCFS involvement. This has helped me gain insight into how complex family and relationship dynamics can affect a person.

Richard Tarazon

Richard Tarazon

Therapist

Virtual • California


I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who believes meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported. I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore challenges, better understand themselves, and work toward lasting change.

I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and have completed Levels 1 and 2 of Gottman Method Couples Therapy, along with specialized training in Treating Affairs and Trauma. My clinical approach also draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

I work with adults, couples, and first responders experiencing relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, emotional regulation challenges, self-esteem concerns, and interpersonal difficulties. I have a particular interest in supporting law enforcement, firefighters, EMS personnel, and other public safety professionals navigating the unique demands of high-stress careers, cumulative stress, relationships, and work-life balance.

I also enjoy helping couples improve communication, strengthen emotional connection, navigate conflict, and work through concerns involving trust and infidelity.

My style is warm, collaborative, and practical. I help clients recognize patterns, build useful skills, and make meaningful changes while tailoring therapy to each person’s individual needs, experiences, and strengths.
