About me
Hello, I'm Rick. I have been a therapist for over 25 years and have spent most of my career working with children, teens and families going through complicated challenges including trauma, defiance, substance issues, adoption and foster care. I believe life is about our ability to make healthy connections with others and to be our honest, true self while doing it. I believe we all have challenges and that there is no shame in getting a little help when things seem out of control or beyond our ability to handle. While there are so many things like childhood experiences, trauma, complex relationships and even some of our own choices that got us to where we are today, I believe we have to recognize and accept where we are right now and then find positive healthy ways to move forward. Life can be better. Your life can be better.
My focus is on really getting to know you and helping you identify what challenges are the most concerning to you and then exploring solutions and providing you tools to overcome those challenges. I will also provide you support along your path as you use those tools. We will check in all along the way to see how progress is going and if changes need to be made in our direction. I have worked with a wide variety of people over the past 20 years and I see every new client as a new and unique person that I get the privilege of getting to know and hopefully help as we travel together on this journey.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Rick Clements. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Our experience thus far has been very positive. Rick has been kind and patient and offered good and useful counsel.
Rick is an incredibly supportive, great listener. After listening, he was able to provide me with specific feedback that has helped me develop a better relationship with my partner.
Rick was always professional, compassionate and timely. He really encourages people to do their best and helps them feel comfortable talking with him about anything. 10/10 would recommend.
I feel comfortable with Rick’s approach.
Extremely supportive, good at working through issues, and if there’s a wall, he looks for other paths
Really appreciate all Rick does. I enjoy his approachability and friendliness while discussing any circumstances including more sensitive topics.
Rick has been awesome! I really enjoy talking with him. He has really been a positive benefit in my mental health!
Knowledgeable, great listener, kind
Rick is a careful and compassionate listener, and has been able to describe and identify for me some of my dilemmas that I could not name. That has been very helpful,
Rick has been so supportive and honest with me. He is flexible, open, and empathic. I am grateful to have found him and to be working with him. His direction gets me through some tough days and he’s great to reach out to me when I’m “too quiet” to make sure I’m keeping my head above water.
Rick is awesome! He listens to me during sessions and checks in during the week. It’s awesome!
