Sierra Richard, M. Ed., LPC-Associate

Sierra is an LPC-Associate who received her Masters of Education from Lamar University with a focus on Counseling and Development. She is currently under the supervision of Julie Summers, LPC-S.

Sierra specializes in working with individuals ages 10 and up, with a particular passion for supporting teens through life’s challenges. She is dedicated to helping her clients navigate a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, school struggles, trauma, grief, life transitions, and more. Her approach is rooted in the belief that each person has the power to reshape their narrative, and she is committed to walking alongside them as they take the steps to achieve their goals.

Sierra offers a personalized, client-centered experience by tailoring each session to meet the unique needs of the individual. She integrates a variety of therapeutic techniques that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and a humanistic approach that emphasizes the mind-body-soul connection. Her work is grounded in the idea that healing is not just about talking through challenges, but also about addressing the whole person—emotionally, mentally, and physically.

Additionally, Sierra is EMDR-trained, which helps clients who have experienced trauma find relief and a new perspective. EMDR can be used for all ages. She also offers ADHD/ADD testing for those seeking to better understand their cognitive strengths and challenges. Whether facing a specific issue or seeking personal growth, her goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where her clients feel empowered to make meaningful changes.

Together, Sierra will work with her clients toward unlocking their potential and moving forward in a way that feels authentic.

What is an LPC-A?

Sierra’s LPC-A status means she has met all the necessary requirements to become a licensed professional counselor in Texas. This includes having a master’s in counseling and passing the national board exam. The main difference between an LPC-A and an LPC is that Associates are still under direct supervision until they complete 3,000 clinical hours.
