About Sam Richardson
*Columbus appts virtual only*
Sam holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Anderson University and Master of clinical mental health counseling degree from Indiana Wesleyan University. Guided by the philosophy “Be who you needed when you were younger,” Sam creates a therapeutic space where clients feel safe to bring their whole selves—whether at their best, their worst, or anywhere in between.
With a background as a touring musician, Sam brings creativity and connection into therapy, often using music as a bridge for healing and self-expression. Clients and families appreciate his warmth,
humor, and ability to meet them where they are while providing research-based, practical tools for growth. Inspired by the legacy of his grandfather, an educator and advocate, Sam carries forward a
deep commitment to kindness, advocacy, and empowerment.
His goal is not only to help clients thrive but also to contribute to the broader field of mental health through clinical mastery, community involvement, and mentorship.
Sam aspires to influence positive change in the world by fostering empathy, strengthening families, and guiding the next generation
toward healthier, more connected lives.
