A Georgia-trained counselor, now fully online.
Richard earned his Master's in Counseling at Georgia State University and has been a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia since 1999. That long connection to the state means he understands the pace, pressures and faith communities many Georgians live within.
Today, all of his Georgia work happens online. Sessions are 50 minutes, held weekly or on a schedule that fits your life, and focus on what is keeping you stuck: trauma that still shows up in your body, anxiety that will not settle, or relationship patterns like codependency and people-pleasing. EMDR is often at the center of that work, and faith can be part of it if you want it to be.
Richard Forde Counseling is a self-pay practice. New clients are accepted on a self-pay basis only, at $145 per 50-minute session. Here is why I choose a private-pay practice.
