Richard Leopold, LPC

My spouse sees Rick. I'm leaving an outside of the box review. Have you ever watched a flower grow to full bloom? Watered it daily, correct nutrients, and sunlight; growing from a small seed to a tiny of beauty? I have. And the seedling was my spouse, but he's a flower now. Does he need more sunlight, nutrients, and watering? Yes. It's a work in progress to become a full garden. The compassion, empathy, skill, and effect that Rick has blows my mind. Now mind you, I'm not the patient, I'm seeing from the outside of this therapy. I can't thank you enough Sir. I believe you have been one of the most imperative, impacting people in my spouses life. I needed to be able to say that so others could read it. Because, I think you've helped reroute my spouses road, and I think you've saved his life. Thank you with all my heart, for all that you do. You are right where you are supposed to be. ??

I loved working with Rick! He listened carefully and compassionately to me and helped me work on my anxiety and trauma. I really appreciated his insights into how alcoholism in the family affects us. I'm not quick to trust people but Rick really put me at ease with his professional skills. I was not expecting to get such rapid relief from long standing problems and was very pleased with the results. And I never felt rushed in therapy. I highly recommend him.

Rick was my first experience working with a professional counselor and, like I'm sure many would, I had reservations about what to expect. Knowing what I was looking for, I did some research, decided to reach out to him, and he started the process by scheduling a quick over the phone discussion where we got to know each other (an important process for both side). We each agreed to proceed and then started weekly sessions. Quickly we each found a groove in the conversations and I feel like Rick was excellent in that he tuned his approach based upon my needs and communicated this clearly. For me he set the right balance: knowing when me to talk through something, when to ask questions, and when to give advice. In a true sign of his professionalism, he also guided me through a ramp down in frequency of our conversations to the point that we mutually decided that we could end the sessions. I know that if I need anything, a "tune-up" he's there for me!
