About Rich Stapleton

My approach to therapy

I believe that healing happens in the context of a safe, trusting relationship. With over two decades of experience across clinical, academic, and supervisory roles, I bring both depth of knowledge and genuine warmth to every session.

My work is trauma-informed and grounded in evidence-based practice. I tailor each treatment plan to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or a difficult life transition, I'll meet you where you are.

In addition to my clinical work, I am an Approved Clinical Supervisor and have spent many years training the next generation of counselors as a faculty member and academic coordinator. That background shapes how I think about growth, change, and what it means to truly support another person.
