Getting to know Phillip Richards
My name is Phillip Richards, and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker who earned a Master of Social Work from Howard University, the 12th ranked program in the United States. I specialize in CBT, DBT, ACT, and Strength-Based Approaches because I believe the best way to create meaningful change in an individual is to recognize and discover how strong and powerful we are. I earned my master’s degree in May 2024 and have spent several years working in the DC school system and with nonprofits focused on mental health. Originally from Melbourne, Australia, I was fortunate to receive a full athletic scholarship to play American football at a Division 1 program. During that time, I faced my own mental health struggles due to the high-pressure environment, and I have used that experience to shape my personal style. I am a high-energy individual who brings enthusiasm and belief into our sessions and loves to incorporate sport, exercise, and personal wellbeing into clients’ treatment plans.
