College can be one of the most exciting times in your life—but it can also bring a lot of pressure. Between classes, deadlines, part-time jobs, and planning for the future, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. If you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trouble concentrating, mood swings, or just not feeling like yourself, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to push through it without support. I’m a provider with extensive experience treating adults across a wide range of mental health condit...
Ricardo Bermudez, LCSW. I listen to people to get a sense of what their needs are. We work collaboratively to develop goals to support the therapeutic process. I work with a variety of people. It depends on the need for therapy and if I have the skills to support the issue. I am open-minded and do not judge anyone for their life circumstances. Listening is the most useful skill for a therapist. This is a safe space for you to talk and have someone hear you. This is a collaborative process, and y...
Psychotherapy can be a transformative experience that helps you explore your inner world. My approach allows us to explore the parts of yourself that remain hidden, difficult to understand, slow to change, and, frankly, stuck. In an affirming and non-judgmental environment, I will guide you through a deep introspection of your thoughts and emotions to enhance your awareness and insight into yourself, your patterns, tendencies, strengths, stuck points, and areas for growth. My approach integra...

Some days you’re holding it together. Other days it feels like everything’s slipping through the cracks. If anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles are making it hard to focus, connect, or feel like yourself, you’re not alone. Therapy is a place to talk things through without pressure or judgment—to get curious about what’s going on beneath the surface and start feeling more grounded, clear, and in control again. I believe that warmth, creativity and a sense of humor are cornerstones of...
I am particularly well-suited for college students, as I ran a research team with students for more than ten years and won the top mentoring awards at both of the universities where I was a professor. As a former professor, I do have a unique understanding of young adults and their needs. The clients who fit best with me tend to be bright and intuitive and perhaps even “overthinkers” who I often teach to think less, ironically! :) My clients come to me for a number of reasons, but one co...

When grappling with hard questions like these, I am here to accompany you on your path to healing. With a nurturing and understanding approach, I create a safe envi...

The ancient rationale for psychotherapy in three quotations: 1) ''He who cannot describe the problem will never find the solution to the problem'' - Confucious (551-479 BCE); 2) ''The unexamined life is not livable for a human being'' (paraphrased as, ''The unexamined life is not worth living'') - Socrates, in Plato's ''Apology'' (ca 360 BCE); 3) ''Whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.'' - Patrick Henry (1739-1799)...

I enjoy working with college students. It is so much wiser to try and get hold of whatever issues you are struggling with earlier in life, rather than later, as problems can repeat themselves and really become entrenched, causing you pain and needless suffering. In addition, opening yourself to another person and focusing on what hurts often takes courage. My college age patients are often dealing with relationship changes, a changing sense of personal identity (sexual or in terms of sense of ...
