Stacy Richardson PhD LMFT CADC II

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I hold a PhD in Psychology from North Central University as well as a Master's in Human Services with Specialization in Marital, Couples and Family from Capella University. I am also an adjunct community college faculty member in the Addictions and Psychology Programs. I have more than 17 years experience in behavioral health management and in providing therapy in the private, non-profit and public health sectors. My approach to therapy is solution focused, client centered and eclectic to meet the individual needs of clients. I work with teens, couples, adults 18+ and older adults using approaches such as Dialectical Behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral, motivational interviewing, structural, narrative and solution focused therapy. I have lived experience as a military dependent and in working with military members and families, LGBTQ+, marginalized populations, including matters such as culture, diversity and inclusion, women’s issues, couple’s communications and sexual disorders. I work with anxiety/depression, trauma, life transition and adjustment, self-esteem and communication concerns. I believe while life’s challenges provide us an opportunity to persevere in situations, behaviors may result as a way to meet that need or situation. I believe in working with you, as a partner to help you identify the solutions that will meet your unique and personal needs, I approach providing services by honoring and respecting our uniqueness and differences. NOTE ABOUT INSURANCE: Each session is asked to be paid for at the time of service. I do not directly participate on insurance provider panels, Upon request I can provide a superbill monthly that you may submit to your health insurance plan as you may have Out Of Network (OON) benefits to obtain reimbursement . Some insurance plans cover all or part of Out Of Network providers, please verify with your plan some of the cost for out of network providers. Good Faith Estimate – No Surprises Act You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
