My experience was second to none!
Our conversations were natural and very fulfilling. Richard is amazing who was very attentive to my needs. There was laughter, commitment & immense passion for a meaningful session. What’s not to like?
When you feel that ‘at home’ feeling, there’s nothing better. Thank you Richard

I found Dr. Richard Haney through his online website. After our first counselling we were able to connect and established good rapport, his attitude was friendly and empathetic. Dr. Haney's knowledge in Psychology is enormous and he is able to see the root of the problem and offer solutions and techniques to help to resolve the issue, his way of communication is kind and relaxing. It was a real pleasure to be his client and I am going to continue my therapy with Dr. Haney.

Richard brings a wealth of experience and professionalism to his practice. His open and straight-forward kind manner enables him to connect easily with people and zero in on their key issues. His concept of Partners-in-Healing is not just a slogan-It is a life-style. He is assiduous about getting down to the root causes and working with people to develop effective and creative solutions. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone who is looking for a heart-connected, down-to-earth counsellor who always puts people and their needs first. I hope that this review empowers you in your healing process...

Response from the owner...
Thank you so much for this review. This concept of Partners in Healing actually comes from Hippocrates.
He believed in di-a-logue between the two partners rather that di-a-gnosis of the "patient" by the "expert". Empowerment is the theme rather than "helping". Emotional "joining" happens when the needs of one of the partners is matched with the skills of the second partner.

One of a Kind !!!

Richard is the best therapist. I can honestly say that nothing compares to this his high level insight, knowledge, strength, and compassion. This is not your "typical" counselling sessions where you sit down and talk for hours about your problems. With Richard, I feel "he gets it" and I don't have to revisit all the painful experiences in my life. Of course we talk about the route of things but the sessions are focused on the present and how to maneuver "get out" of whatever it is you are experiencing. Richard is able to connect in ways that is beyond my years and I have yet to see this in any professional in this field. Richard is definitely an expert in internal conflict and I can say that he has empowered me to be the balanced individual I am today. He tells it like it is and incorporates humor that anyone can sure appreciate. What I like the most is after my sessions, I feel more and more present and insight just rises as my days goes by. Anyone would benefit from meeting Richard.

I am grateful to have had the opportunity to meet Richard, and to establish the 'Spiritual' connection we have. Thank you Richard for your time and 'energy' that you give in each session.

RICHARD'S PROFESSIONALISM, OBJECTIVITY AND WISDOM IN APPROACHING SENSITIVE personal situations is beyond reproach. I have sought his help on numerous occasions during times of personal tragedy. He listens carefully and is able to detect the root cause of a problem quickly. He has been nothing but empathetic, always objective and always honest. His hallmark is finding creative ways to deal with difficult issues. Richard is insightful, conscientious and trustworthy. I have nothing but good things to say about his counselling and have no hesitation in recommending him highly.

I have worked with Richard for over three years now and I highly recommend his services. I found him approachable and empathetic with each of the issues I am working through. His techniques are very personable and brings you to a place of self awareness to understand the root of each issue.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Richard, and found him to be an amazing counsellor, he is respectful, kind, caring, and thoughtful.
I am so grateful to Richard, as his insights and caring ways helped my family and I to come together and heal our wounds. He is very objective, which puts all members at ease, so no bias's, so that everyone feels heard and helped. He is just an overall amazing person, cannot recommend him enough!
