— BIOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
Location: San Francisco, CA
Setting: In-Person & Telehealth (CA)
I’m Richard Kelly, a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist at Eureka Center for Psychotherapy. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years working in the corporate world. An unexpected career change during the pandemic ultimately brought me into this work sooner than I had planned.
That experience shaped how I understand the distance that can develop between how capable we appear on the outside and what may be happening internally. I work with people who feel anxious, depressed, burned out, disconnected, or simply stuck — including those who have spent a long time trying to think, work, or push their way out of what they are experiencing.
My style is engaged, collaborative, and direct. I’m interested in getting beyond surface-level fixes and understanding what is actually driving a pattern. At the same time, therapy should be useful in real life. Our work can include both deeper exploration and practical ways of responding differently outside the therapy room.
I work with adults and couples, including LGBTQ+ clients, men and male-identifying clients, and people in monogamous, open, and polyamorous relationships.
