My diverse background in healthcare, case management, and group facilitation enables me to offer a practical, solutions-focused approach to counseling.

My counseling style is supportive, collaborative, and strengths-focused. I’m passionate about helping clients build resilience, enhance self-awareness, and develop practical strategies for meaningful change. I draw from Positive Psychology, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, and Strengths-Based approaches while maintaining a culturally sensitive, Person-Centered perspective. I’m also particularly interested in integrating DBT and Emotion-Focused Therapy to support clients with emotional regulation and coping skills.

I work with adults and adolescents (14+), including college students, athletes, and professionals in high-stress fields, navigating challenges like substance use, relationship issues, performance anxiety, and postpartum depression. My focus is on helping clients find balance, set meaningful goals, and grow through life’s ups and downs while prioritizing wellness and self-care.
What sets me apart is my ability to meet you where you are, offering a patient, nonjudgmental space for growth. I balance empathy with professionalism, creating a safe and supportive environment.

Richard Jimenez, LMHC, CASAC
​Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Credentialed Alcohol and Substance User Counselor
Adult Mental Health and Substance Use Counseling

Richard's approach to substance abuse counseling integrates the interconnected aspects of mental health and substance use, along with the neuroscience underlying addiction. He explores biological factors, brain development, and the concepts of free will, determinism, and existentialism to understand and influence current behavior. Richard delves into the roles of dopamine, reward and reinforcement mechanisms, and motivation. His method also involves examining the history of impulsivity and risk-taking behavior and addressing sensation-seeking tendencies.

Treatment with Richard involves personalized therapy sessions where clients engage in cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. He incorporates psychoeducation about the brain's reward systems and develops individualized coping strategies to manage cravings and reduce harmful behaviors. Richard emphasizes that recovery is a personal journey requiring multiple levels of treatment, including understanding how addiction occurs, exploring the biology of addiction as a disease, and addressing behavior patterns that lead to relapse. He focuses on modifying maladaptive coping strategies, correcting cognitive distortions, managing challenging emotions, setting life goals, and working towards self-autonomy. Additionally, he advocates for breaking down goals into realistic timelines, typically spanning the next 3-5 years, to provide clear and achievable milestones for individuals on their path to recovery.
