Rick Conway, LCPAT, LCPC, LPAT, ATR-BC

People will sometimes say, “There is an elephant in the room that we are not talking about.” Rick is dedicated to helping you find what you may need to talk about by providing a safe, compassionate, and affirming space to explore your thoughts and feelings, gain insights, and develop the tools needed to navigate your life's complexities.

My approach to therapy is creative and collaborative. I believe each individual – no matter their age, sexuality, or gender identity – is unique and should have a therapist who is genuine, has unconditional positive regard, and has empathic understanding. In session, I will approach the client where they are and what they may currently be experiencing. My approach starts with building a positive, warm, and trusting relationship. This will provide a foundation of support, encouragement, and connection, and after that the work can truly begin. I do not expect a client to work harder in our relationship than I am willing to do myself.

My work in mental health currently includes individuals from age 11 to 75 and those in and out of the LGBTQIA+ community. I have worked with anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, grief and loss, life transitions, and trauma-related issues. I bring creativity, compassion, warmth, and a genuine desire to understand you in a safe, affirming, non-judgmental, and empowering environment.

All my combined life experiences have led me to this point, and it is my passion to help individuals, like you or your child, begin to see and change those things that have kept you from living your best life. I can promise to strive for a supportive, challenging, and hopeful experience with maybe a little laughter and play for good measure.
