In today's world lots of people struggle with relationship issues. Most people long to have someone to talk to about what's happening in their lives. We were created for connection with others, whether it come from a teacher, friend, coworker, spouse, or family member. My goal in therapy is to provide a safe comfortable space for YOU to process your story and its challenges, and then work together to improve your mental health and relationships. I specialize in working with adults and children/ teens to address struggles at school or home. I work with couples on marital issues and everyday life challenges with balancing work and family. I use an eclectic variety of therapeutic models like Family Systems, Attachment Theory, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and In-Person Play Therapy.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) living in Arizona and licensed in Arizona and Utah. More than two decades ago, I wrote one of the first books attempting to apply the insights of Stoicism to modern life (Don’t Worry, Be Stoic: Ancient Wisdom for Troubled Times). The ensuing years have witnessed a veritable Stoic renaissance, with best-selling books such as How to Think Like a Roman Emperor and Ryan Holiday’s mega-popular Daily Stoic website. But reading alone will not make you a Stoic, nor wishing it to be so. By integrating modern psychotherapeutic techniques with ancient wisdom, I help clients apply the insights of Stoicism to the problems they are facing.

I'm Rick, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Indianapolis, Indiana. With over a decade of experience in both military and civilian mental health settings, I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals through some of life's most challenging moments. My specialties include assisting those who are dealing with emotional dysregulation, feeling stuck in life, and battling substance use disorders. My approach to therapy is deeply rooted in the practice of comeditation, where I aim to forge a genuine heart-to-heart connection with each client. This method not only helps in stabilizing emotions but also plays a crucial role in breaking through personal stagnation and supporting the journey toward sobriety. I offer individual sessions tailored to each person's unique needs, where we work together to find balance, set achievable goals, and explore pathways to personal growth. These sessions are designed to be a safe space for clients to explore their feelings, understand their triggers, and develop coping strategies that resonate with their life experiences. Beyond one-on-one work, I also host monthly group sessions. These gatherings are not just about therapy; they're about building a community. Here, clients can find support, share experiences, and grow together, enhancing their sense of belonging and accountability towards their recovery and personal development goals. My background includes service in the U.S. Army National Guard, work with the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, and the Veteran Health Administration, giving me a broad perspective on the diverse challenges people face. I am currently enhancing my therapeutic toolkit with certifications in iREST Yoga Nidra, Yoga Therapy, and EMDR to offer an even more holistic approach to healing.

My mission is to help my clients cope with various challenges and improve their well-being, using the biopsychosocial model that examines the interconnection between biology, psychology, and socio-environmental factors. I employ evidence-based treatment modalities, such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), motivational interviewing (MI), and solution focused brief therapy (SFBT). I am also working on certification for Mind Body Medicine through the Center for Mind Body Medicine and frequently use these techniques in therapy. I also have extensive training in geriatric assessment of cognitive and physical functioning, and I especially enjoy working with older adults. Additionally, I am a certified clinical supervisor with the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners, and I mentor and support other social workers in their professional development. Clients must be physically located in Alabama, Arizona, or Utah at the time of appointment in order to avoid a no-show/late cancellation fee if they are not physically located in these states for our appointment as I am only licensed to see patients who are physically in these states.

I believe in collaboration and I don't have a set agenda for each session. My specialties are religious trauma and relationships. I use a solution focused approach to help you identify the steps needed for wellness and growth. I believe that therapy should be a space to have hard conversations and my clients always have my full attention. Life is tough and sometimes you just need a space where you can talk freely without being judged or talked down to. I don't have any set agenda and I want clients to feel comfortable sharing what they're thinking.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Arizona rather than a city like Phoenix?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Arizona from Tucson to Mesa! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Arizona.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
