She is amazing. Truly listens but also is authentically herself with how she helps navigate your concerns, trauma, etc. I left for financial reasons and came back just to have her help me through things again even after two years. Cannot recommend enough.

More about Torria

- LMHC
I am currently employed as a Behavioral Specialist , Licensed Mental Health Counselor for the state of Florida. I have worked in the mental health field for over 10 years and my background in dual diagnosis clients. Most of my clients have both mental health and substance abuse issues. The population of clients, I have worked with throughout the years, have a a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, paranoia and delusional behaviors. I also have experienced working with physical and sexual trauma, emotional abuse and substance abuse and addiction.
My approach to counseling is open and non- judgemental. The key to be an effective counselor is to treat everyone with dignity respect, and compassion. My approach to counseling combines cognitive-behavioral, reality and person centered counseling. Your treatment plan is catered to your specific need and concerns.
It takes a lot insight and courage to allow yourself to look pass your vulnerability and seek the help that you need to make your life better. I look forward to walking with you down the road and recovery. You are not alone on the journey.
Let the path to recovery begin.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Torria was a great counselor and helped in a big way! It is just so unfortunate that she is employed by a so call Christian Counseing service that unfairly cheats clients out of there sessions because of poor and inacurate billing procedures.
Torria takes the pressure & fear out of the idea of therapy. It’s so natural to talk to her and she is extremely supportive.
Dr. Richardson is amazing! She makes me feel comfortable opening up. She helps me to process my feelings which helps make more informed decisions.
My quality of life has improved since I met her.
I enjoyed Richardson. She was the vibe, and was able to provide thoughts I never thought about with my issues.
Torria has great energy and positivity. She was very supportive and I didn't feel judged at all!
Torria is an amazing therapist that I feel comfortable talking about anything with. She passes no judgment and cheers you on in all endeavors. The best therapist I have had!
I wouldnt have made it through without her. She's relatable, intuitive, and appropriately challenges my thinking and behavior. Im so relieved after each session.
I really have made progress working with Ms. Richardson and I would recommend her to others.
She's awesome

She’s just great! I feel like we’ve been friends for years.
She is kind, understanding, and relatable. She gives me tools to get through my issues.
Torria is definitely the real deal I had to schedule a appointment with her cause she is so Genuine and smart and she listens and cares about her clients
She’s wonderful. Reliable, professional, relatable, capable, and present. I’m blessed to have her guidance and support while I become the best version of myself.
Torria is a great listener!
Torria has a great way of speaking that makes you feel comfortable. She doesn’t judge and is very open to your perspectives and let’s you take whatever approach you think you need. She’s has a good memory and is good at calling you on your contradictions and asks you questions that make you think about things in a way you may not have on your own. I felt good after the first session and the second helped just as much. I’m happy and glad this helping me with my issues.
She’s AMAZING! I feel like I’m talking to a close friend!
Torria is such a light in this world. She does a great job in understanding what my concerns are and is able to help me stay on a subject. She's supportive, personable, and honest. I truly appreciate my sessions with her.
Toria is kind and helpful
Torria has been a great source of guidance in my mental health journey. She has given me great mental tools to help me through my painful dark days and that gift is priceless. I feel like I am growing, mentally and emotionally I am getting stronger. She is an effective counselor and even though our conversations are hard, her dedication to my mental success makes the work necessary. I urge anyone to have a conversation with her.
Warm, genuine, and truly helps me work through my issues and concerns throughout the week and during our sessions!
I am blessed to have been matched so perfectly on the first try! There was an immediate level of comfort, support and guidance that I thought would take multiple sessions to cultivate.
I have only had one meeting with Torria, but she seems personable and understanding. I am sure that we will have a good relationship.
She's awesome. Very welcoming with my end of conversation and didn't recognize it immediately but that works great for me since I can be a difficult person to get to open up and when I don't want to talk about something she backs off which is really cool to me. Some people want to keep pushing that nerve and I'm not one you want to do that with and she just gets it. Really great counselor really great person I believe in. And believe me I don't mind letting people know if they can do better and I don't think she can do better. At least for me she is perfect. Appreciate everything that she and this service is trying to do to get me back on my path to happiness.
Torria has been such a lifesaver. She is patient, relatable, and easy to talk to. I will be using the tools and techniques I've learned from her moving forward.
Thank you for great service

Torria listens and that’s what’s important to me. There was no feeling of judgement and conversation flowed freely. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
She's amazing & down-to-earth. Everything I was looking for in a counselor
Tirria has been great! My main issue is more with connection, customer service & that the website isn’t always user friendly.
She is just awesome! She has a very forward approach to sift through the details of my life. She is simply the best!
Torria has been extremely helpful in managing stress and anxiety, and providing insight on how to manage some challenging mental obstacles in my life. Speaking to her through BetterHelp has been a breath of fresh air, and has truly helped me navigate a particularly turbulent time. She is incredibly empathetic, kind, and thoughtful in her responses, and does a fantastic job with counseling.
Great counselor
I couldn’t of asked for a better match to my needs
Torria is such a gem! Honestly was against therapy for a long time. Not in general, just for me. And then I signed up and met Torria. She is so down to earth and very relatable. She makes the sessions comfortable and I feel much better after them.
I love her positive outlook on life and the challenges it may bring.
