About
Hello and welcome. I'm Ron Reichard, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, founder and lead therapist of Scripps Marriage Therapy. I've been practicing therapy since 1997 and have worked with clients of all ages. I have experience addressing a variety of therapy issues which include: marital difficulties, parenting struggles, grief, loss, depression, anxiety and anger management. I also have many years of experience helping military families with the unique challenges they face. I'm a results oriented therapist which means I assist clients in developing attainable goals and learning skills to reach those goals. I provide marriage / couples therapy as well as family and individual counseling. In working with couples, I direct both sides to take ownership of their contribution to the relationship. This promotes individual responsibility and relationship growth, while minimizing the blaming that tends to happen in relationships. The therapy methods and interventions I utilize, which are from the professional field of psychology, are consistent with Christian values and the principles taught by Jesus Christ found in the Bible. More than any other person in history, Jesus Christ is invested in helping people, and therefore He taught on the human condition and provided principles on how to live and how to connect with others in a meaningful way to bring purpose, direction, hope and comfort to our lives even in the midst of difficult circumstances. Christian based therapy not only helps clients address the mental, emotional and behavioral part of their struggles, it also helps them address the spiritual component. In this way the whole person can be addressed in the Christian therapy process. I hope to hear from you soon. Don't hesitate to call or e-mail with any questions.
Why I Became a Professional Christian Therapist
Ever since I was a young child I knew that people mattered to God. I believe that God is the ultimate solution to our spiritual, emotional and relationship needs. As a Christian therapist, I enjoy helping others in their journey of connecting to God and finding contentment and peace in their life.
