I am a Vermont Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Board Certified Professional Counselor. I have counseled adolescents and adults for almost 2 decades, first in a non-profit community agency, and now in private practice. I work with individuals, couples, groups and families, specializing in step, blended, same sex and single parent families with teenagers.

I'm interested in helping clients gain a better understanding of their relationship with themselves and to others within their lives. I believe human connection is essential for people as well as living with honesty and balance. Through compassionate humor and straightforward dialogue, I strive to help clients review the thought process involved in developing harmony between their behaviors, values and feelings and their identified inner needs, goals and sense of self. I'm especially interested in helping clients to establish a harmony of communication between the three parts of the mind: the Brain, the Heart and the Gut. As therapist, I take the opportunity to consult with clients as the experts of their own lives. I view the work we do together as series of healing conversations whereby we engage in a journey through the process of dialogue, storytelling and exploration which enable us as a team to look for the "answers" together. Often, the answers are already there, I just help people find them. I'm a dually-licensed therapist trained both as a clinical social worker and as a substance abuse counselor. My approach with clients is genuine, warm and direct. See my extended profile at WWW.MarcRichter.org www.marcrichter.org [email protected]
