Nathan Richter, MSW, LICSW
Psychotherapist
Welcome! I'm Nathan (they/them). I am a therapist with a passion for guiding individuals through life's challenges. With over 7 years of experience in the field, I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, PTSD, suicidality, high-risk behaviors, harm reduction, crisis deescalation, and LGBTQ identity exploration.
For the past couple of years, I’ve focused my practice on working as a suicide prevention therapist with youth and young adults. My approach is rooted in centering the individual, a structural analysis of the systems we struggle with daily, a sense of justice, empathy, and radical acceptance. I employ the practices of a person-centered approach, cognitive behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, empowerment, evidence-based safety planning, narrative therapy, and transformative justice.
I hold a Master's of Clinical Social Work from the University of Washington and continuously engage in professional development to stay up to date of the latest research and techniques in psychotherapy. I'm dedicated to helping you find clarity, resilience, and a path forward that feels authentic and empowering.
When I'm not working with clients, you can find me fishing, hunting, gathering and distributing food within my community, engaging in community projects, and petting a lot of dogs!
I am interested and excited to get to know you more, feel free to reach out and we can get started.
