About the Presenter:
Dustin Richardson is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Maryland, College Park and a Master of Science degree in Clinical Psychology from Loyola University of Baltimore, MD. He’s had the opportunity to work in a variety of
settings within public health, mental health treatment, substance use treatment, inpatient treatment and private practice. Dustin served on the Maryland Commission for Suicide Prevention for three years.
He primarily utilizes existential approaches in therapy as their tenants are fairly universal in nature and relate well to the experiences of most people. These tenants focus on an individual’s search for meaning, fears of loss, feelings of isolation and the foundations of hope that we build for ourselves. He has had the
privilege to work with a wide range of clients in terms of age, gender, race, social economic status, and acuity of symptoms. He enjoys diversity in his clinical work and focuses on working with couples, those dealing with issues regarding their sexuality, first responders (police, firefighters, EMT’s), individuals
recovering from trauma, and people dealing with concerns with technology such as video game or online addiction.
