Jo Richardson

Jo Richardson, LMSW, understands that life can sometimes feel overwhelming, as if one's center of gravity has been lost. When traditional coping mechanisms no longer suffice, whether due to sudden changes or long-standing pain, Jo believes healing is possible. Many individuals struggle with feelings of isolation brought on by depression and anxiety, while past traumatic experiences can color perceptions of life as unbearable and lead to mistrust in others. Jo recognizes that self-doubt and harsh self-criticism can inhibit healing, and she is dedicated to changing that narrative. With 15 years of experience working with traumatized individuals and 9 years as a therapist, Jo is committed to building strong relationships with her clients. She provides education, support, and innovative tools to empower growth. Jo's therapeutic style emphasizes understanding the intricacies of both mind and body, encouraging self-compassion with every session. As a therapist, she acts as a guide, walking alongside her clients to offer specialized help tailored to their unique journeys. Jo teaches about the therapeutic path, supporting efforts for change with compassion, validation, and insight. She remains a steadfast guide, always available for those who may wish to return when the road ahead appears daunting.
