Hi, my name is Richard Ehrhardt and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor in the state of Florida. I absolutely love what I do. I have a passion and drive to help others implement skills we will learn and get the results they desire. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including substance abuse/addictions, ADHD/HD, mens issues, anxiety/stress, relationship issues, and parenting concerns with children/teenagers. My experience ranges across a variety of settings and populations. I started my internship at a local Non-profit organization that helped the homeless. After graduation, I worked in an outpatient community facility with teenagers, families and adults doing individual, family and group therapy. I worked in a well-known substance abuse facility, Turning Point of Tampa in their residential and Intensive Outpatient program. I have worked in private practice and in corporate managed care settings.

My counseling style is open, client-centered, empathetic and results driven. I seek to understand and treat you with genuineness and respect. My therapeutic approach combines a sense of humor with cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, motivational interviewing, mindfulness-based, and solution-focused. We will create goals together to help you fulfill your purpose.

I know change can be scary and challenging, but I want to support and empower you to help you meet your needs and follow your dreams. I am a gifted communications specialist that can help motivate you in areas where you feel stuck. With my experience, compassion, and down to earth approach together we can uncover your strengths and give you the hope you need to make progress and grow. I look forward to working with you.

You are absolutely worth it!
