Rhea-Alana Richardson, LPC, NCC, ACS

Hello! My name is Rhea-Alana Richardson. I am an experienced professional counselor, professor, and mentor for interns that are in graduate counseling program. I am dedicated to helping the wounded to heal, educate and promote a healthy self-awareness, and encourage others to grow their purpose through curiosity and exploration.

I am a married woman of thirty plus years and devoted to my family. Together, my husband and I have raised eight fantastic children. We have acquired many hardships, yet together found strength to heal from our own past childhood woundedness to evolve into the people we are now with a healthier perspective. We have numerous grandchildren we enjoy spending time with.

Heart Walk Counseling is a training practice that helps graduate students gain experience under direct supervision with their clients seeking help. They are able to meet with clients using a sliding scale for self-paying clientele or can accept most Medicaid insurances for low income families seeking support. There are limited licensed professional therapists here that are working toward full licensure to which can accept most commercial insurances, Medicaid, and offer sliding scale self-pay options. Heart Walk Counseling strives to have clients feel safe, supported, and an opportunity to secure a therapist for at-risk or low income families as well as other types of needs of clients. My goal is to provide clients a safe place to share vulnerably and offer support, encouragement, challenges, and risk taking to grow oneself in various ways. The hope is to help others by "touching and healing one heart at a time."
