Kate Richards

Social Worker (Mental Health)

“Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing therapy in a safe and non-judgemental environment where clients can explore, process, and heal.”

About Me

I offer a truly non-judgmental space for you to bring your whole self. We can carefully explore difficult feelings and experiences together. My goal is to help you process experiences, understand their impact, and begin to heal. This collaborative approach provides clarity and practical ways to move forward. It suits those seeking a calm environment to build emotional resilience and find their path.

Approach

With safety and respect as our foundation, I guide a steady, practical process that helps you name what matters and try new ways of coping. In Little Rock I meet adults, couples, parents and families in English, keeping sessions focused and paced to your needs, with simple, doable work between meetings. When trauma, grief, anxiety or identity concerns come up, we map patterns, practice grounding and communication skills, and test small changes that build confidence. This direct, gentle pacing tends to suit those who want clarity and steady support.
