Rich is an exceptional therapist. He is thoughtful with his advice; I can always see the wheels turning as he is listens to me.However listening is not enough, he does not hesitate to challenge me to delve into cause and effect. I have seen much improvement in my mental health, and undoubtedly, Rich has been an invaluable piece to my improvement.

I find the hardest obstacles to overcome when needing to find new care is to find one you get along with, feeling like you’re being taken seriously (not just a number), but also one that challenges you for the better. Richie Speiser has made getting past those first few sessions easier than most for me, and I feel like I’m making progress and able to share things about myself more openly than before with other professionals.

Richie Speiser has been my therapist for almost one year. It’s been a very challenging time with the death of my fiance, job loss, and family issues. He has been with me each step of the way from listening to providing encouragement and hope. He has been my rock and I look forward to our weekly sessions. I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone dealing with depression and major life changes. He is down to earth, calls it like it is and exudes positive energy.

I have been seeing Richie for several months now, and I can honestly say that he has made a significant impact on my mental health and overall well-being. He is incredibly empathetic, patient, and professional, always creating a safe and welcoming environment for me to open up and discuss my thoughts and feelings. His insightful guidance and tailored therapeutic techniques have helped me navigate through some of the most challenging times in my life. I highly recommend Richie to anyone seeking a compassionate and effective therapist who truly cares about their clients' progress and well-being.

Maria is straightforward, honest, and welcoming. She is clearly absolutely dedicated to helping people become better people, and has a truly heartwarming energy about her. Anyone would consider it an honor to work with her!

My first session with Maria was a true indicator that she would be everything I needed. She truly is a genuine and caring individual who wants nothing more than for her clients to succeed and thrive as individuals. She is down to earth and is more like a friend than a therapist. I enjoyed every session with Maria. She is super easy to talk to, accommodating, and understanding. I HIGHLY recommend Pipitone Counseling Service LLC.
