More about me

Years in Practice: 20 State: Wisconsin

After more than 20 years in the counseling fields as a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in Wisconsin, my approach to collaborating with clients has a two-fold approach. First, I believe in a holistic approach. Almost every problem we experience has various pieces. Somewhat like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, the pieces need to be laid out and evaluated to see the relationships among them to come up with solutions. This includes the present moment, our upbringing, our current employment, our own relationships, stresses past and present, any traumatic experiences we’ve had, etc. My second approach flows from the first belief in a holistic treatment. I encourage clients to develop a SANE lifestyle. Evidenced research shows a direct link among the elements of Sleep, Activities, Nutrition, and Exercise to our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I embody what I encourage others to do. I also believe the path to wholeness lies within each of us and through the experience of heartfelt conversations we find that power within to bring about our own healing.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Richard has been the best therapist I have met. He has helped me through a very difficult and dark time in my life. He extremely smart and wise. I have full confidence in him. I would recommend any family members to see Richard.

Dec 29, 2023

Overall

He is trustworthy and knowledgeable. With a very personal vibe that can only be described as empathy, not sympathy. This is what inspires me to share more about my issues with him. He is one of the good guys and he is actually here to help. He is a God send.

Ricardo Broach has been instrumental in guiding me through the most challenging time of my life. He is kind, engaging and very thoughtful. I would highly recommend Ricardo to anyone.

Sep 18, 2023

Overall

I didn’t have much luck with past therapists. I was skeptical to try out better help but I’m so glad I did! He is the best help I’ve ever received! You know he’s not in it for the money, he truly just loves helping people! Really understands and is there to see you succeed! And when I couldn’t afford it for awhile. When I came back, he’s still available to help me! Highly recommend him!

Aug 11, 2023

Overall

Finding Richard as a therapist was nothing short of having an angel come into my life during a very hard time. I haven't had the greatest luck finding compatible therapists in the past, so I've tended to avoid therapy altogether. Richard was an exception and has offered insights into my life and past that are facilitating positive change at a time when I need it more than ever.

Competent, patient, direct

May 09, 2023

Overall

Richard is a great listener who acknowledged the concerns I had. Having had therapy before with another organization, there is a significant difference between the professional and technical knowledge between Richard and the other organization's therapists. He has decades of experience in psychiatric nursing and has decades of Spanish speaking skills, making him a great therapist for Spanish speaking individuals. could not recommend Richard enough.

Overall

Richard is an extremely kind, caring, and truthful therapist. He has really helped me navigate my own thoughts and rework my mindset. I would recommend his services to anyone! He never falls short on the number of acronyms he seems to know, which are always very helpful.

I have only been seeing Richard for a month and he has already helped me so much. He is very knowledgeable in the field and does a great job listening to my thoughts, reframing and reaffirming what I have said, and asking meaningful thought provoking questions.
