“Dr. Richmond and his team are the best mental health professionals I have had. I am blessed to meet with Dr. Richmond every 3 weeks or so for at least an hour session. He gives me an abundance of time and is trauma-informed. I have received medication management, TMS, and Sprovoto treatments at his clinic. In addition, I am a candidate for MDMA therapy in the fall. He leads through clinical research and isn't just helping people with psychedelic therapy for the money or novelty. He cares. Truly. Evidence-based and cutting edge, Dr. Richmond comes highly recommended by myself and others. His team is one of the reasons I am alive.”
