Karalea Richards AMFT

I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) and an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC) with an MA in Clinical Psychology. My background includes a BS in Kinesiology, 15 years of experience and certification in teaching yoga and meditation, and 25 years of personal experience in marriage and motherhood. These varied experiences, combined with my clinical training, shape my experienced, compassionate, and mindful approach to therapy.

I offer therapy to individuals, couples, parents, adolescents, and families. My work integrates somatic practices, mindfulness, and a humanistic, person-centered lens, creating a safe and supportive space for you to uncover patterns, build self-awareness, and develop tools for lasting change. I deeply believe in the connection between mind and body and incorporate somatic, trauma-informed care to help you navigate life with greater balance, resilience, and self-compassion.

Having navigated significant life transitions myself, I am particularly passionate about supporting women through moments of change—whether it’s the challenges of adolescence, puberty, and menstruation–or navigating sexuality, relationships, marriage, and motherhood–or understanding and moving through the many changes of menopause. I understand the unique struggles and joys these phases bring and offer guidance that’s both empathetic and practical.

I know that taking the first step toward therapy can be both courageous and daunting. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, self-doubt, relationship difficulties, or the weight of past trauma, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey. Together, we’ll work to understand your experiences more deeply, empowering you to move through life with greater confidence and self-compassion.
