I am an advocate for 12 Steps approach to recovery, utilizing principles from the Big Book, The Gorski Model of Relapse Prevention (GMRP), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) developed by Albert Ellis. The GMRP is a system for treating substance use disorders and relapse prevention. It was developed by Terrence Gorski, who was a pioneer in the field.
I enjoy working with whatever level of personal philosophy or spirituality you want to incorporate in sessions. I have experience with/ not limited to: Atheist/Humanist, Agnostic, Buddhist, Catholic, LDS, Protestant, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, Metaphysical/New Age, Indigenous/Native American traditions.My therapeutic environment is inclusive, supportive and effective for persons of any culture, gender identity, sexual orientation and lifestyle, partnership style, family structure ability, learning style, and country of origin.
I am currently developing curriculum for a virtual group, providing therapy from a nature based perspective. Please contact me if you are interested in the book and/or group when it comes out.

Counseling & Therapy for ADHD in the Valley
Stephen Richie, M.Ed, MS, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor)
Steve offers individual counseling, and child counseling for ages 12 years old and older. Primarily using Cognitive Behavior Therapy techniques to address the inevitable emotion based challenges. I started ADHD coaching for AZ Family Life Counseling & Coaching in 2017, and have additional knowledge of how executive function deficits affect everyday life. Before earning my master's degree in counseling I was a Christian school & public school administrator, so I can assist parents in getting accommodations to help children improve academic performance in the classroom.
My goal for my clients is to help you become your best version of you by tapping into God-given talents and internal sources of strength. I recognize the blessings and challenges of having a mind that operates faster than normal. My approach is supportive and structured within a nonjudgmental environment. If welcome, I can incorporate Biblical concepts also.
Brains need nurturing, stimulation, and rewards to thrive. Together, we build a bank of working coping skills that include emotional regulation strategies, art therapy, mindfulness breathing techniques, guided imagery, progressive muscle relaxation methods, problem solving, target setting, and effective communication techniques.
