My name is Richard Spires, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in individual, couples, marriage, and family therapy. I help clients navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship concerns, grief, and adolescent issues. I use a range of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). My goal is to create a collaborative and supportive space where we can work together toward meaningful change.

I help clients navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship concerns, grief, and adolescent issues.

I earned my Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University in 2018 and have worked as a mental health professional for over six years. I strongly believe in the power of the therapeutic alliance—that counseling works best when it’s a true partnership. Having experienced therapy myself, I understand how important it is to feel heard and understood. I take time to get to know each client and approach every session with empathy, curiosity, and genuine care. Whenever you’re ready to talk, I’m ready to listen.

First session

During our first session, my focus is on getting to know you—understanding your unique concerns, history, and goals. Together, we’ll begin developing a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs and priorities. Having experienced therapy myself, I understand how important it is to feel heard and understood. I take pride in creating a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly and feel truly cared for.

Strengths

I think that my biggest strength is being able to genuinely connect with people. I feel that my deep love for people transcends any educational training that I have ever received. The way that I care about and love people has helped me positively impact lives.

Ideal clients

Specializing in individual, couples, marriage, and family therapy. I work with a wide range of clients, including children (ages 10 and up), teens, adults, military personnel, first responders, law enforcement professionals, and those seeking Christian counseling.

Richard helped me determine where my anger was coming from and then helped me come up with tools to combat it. He is an extremely effective therapist.
