Meet Ricardo
My focus is supporting individuals navigating adjustment disorder, anxiety, depression, trauma, and men’s issues with compassion and practical guidance. Growing up on the South Side of Chicago instilled in me a deep commitment to service and community, which continues to shape my work today. I strive to create a space where clients feel respected, understood, and empowered to address life’s challenges with clarity and confidence. My approach is collaborative and trauma-informed, drawing from evidence-based practices to support emotional regulation, insight, and meaningful change. I have experience working in residential, school-based, and outpatient settings, where I developed skills in crisis intervention, trauma care, anger management, and relationship support. I work alongside clients to build resilience, strengthen coping strategies, and foster growth that extends beyond the therapy room.
