RICHARD THE THERAPIST

Growing up in New York City's rich theater community as an actor and performer, Richard built a network of lifelong friends in the entertainment industry. It was the theater community that brought Richard to pursue a career in psychology. He searched for ways to combat the growing AIDS epidemic that was plaguing the GLBT and theater communities of New York City. Richard continued his crusade to help those suffering with terminal illness and facing personal addiction by getting a M.S.W. from New York University's acclaimed School of Social Work. Soon after, he became a State Licensed Psychotherapist and a Certified HIV Pre/Post Test Counselor. Richard continues to be a strong advocate for New York City's entertainment and GLBT Communities.
