Who we help

We work with two connected groups: parents, spouses, and family members whose lives are shaped by living with someone difficult, and adults and children struggling with anxiety, OCD, ARFID, and related challenges themselves.

Meet Leigh

Leigh Richards, PhD, LMHC, LPC

I'm Leigh Richards, founder of Applied Counseling Group, working with clients across New York, Connecticut, and Florida.

I work with people whose lives are shaped by a loved one's struggles, and with adults and children working through anxiety, OCD, or another challenge of their own.

My approach is warm, practical, and evidence-based. I do focused work in an area where more general therapy often falls short, helping people build real tools, not just a place to vent.
