Trainer Bio

Hi there! My name is Richard (they/them) and I am a Non-binary Filipinx Psychotherapist based in New York City. Growing up as a queer, low-income, first-generation college student with immigrant parents, I draw on my personal experiences and social work expertise to provide social justice and trauma-informed therapy. Much of my expertise has been working with queer and trans youth and adults, with a focus on those with a BIPOC intersectional experience. When I'm not in session, you can find me at the park, going to music shows, and trying different foods in the city!
