Dr Richard Schultz

Clinical Psychologist

“I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders, insomnia, depression, and trauma utilizing cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic approaches.”

About Me

When anxiety, insomnia, depression, or trauma feel overwhelming, finding a path forward can seem difficult. I help you explore these experiences, blending cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic approaches. Together, we can uncover underlying patterns and build practical strategies for daily life. My goal is for you to feel more grounded, resilient, and able to navigate life's challenges with confidence.

Approach

Instead of naming problems, I focus on how your day-to-day routines, thoughts, and relationships shape what you experience and we experiment with changes that fit your pace. In my Atlanta office and online, in English, sessions feel focused and conversational: we track patterns, practice skills like mindfulness and sleep routines, and use short reflections between meetings to test what helps. I combine careful assessment with coaching and psychoeducation to guide adjustments that stick. People seeking steady, practical progress often find this approach helpful.
