Dr. Richard Tscherne approaches therapy as a collaborative journey rather than a series of isolated appointments. He helps people navigate life’s curves, bumps, and cracks by tailoring therapeutic methods to the obstacles each person faces.
He brings three years of experience providing psychotherapy and is licensed to practice clinical psychology in the state of New York. In addition, he is a certified rehabilitation counselor with more than 20 years of experience working in the field of disabilities, a background that informs his work with both disabled and non-disabled individuals.
Dr. Tscherne works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career difficulties, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, grief, anger management, and ADHD. His approach integrates meditation, breathing exercises, mindfulness, and awareness techniques alongside other individualized strategies to help clients recognize and accept all parts of themselves.
Born with cerebral palsy, he draws on lived experience to understand how mindset and practical supports shape recovery, goal pursuit, relationships, and day-to-day functioning. He is also trained in psychedelic integration for people who are exploring that approach.
Dr. Tscherne aims to help people develop present-moment awareness, gratitude, and self-acceptance so they can open up new paths of discovery and appreciation for who they are becoming. He invites individuals to join him on that path of exploration and growth.
For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and adjusting to life changes - online therapy has been found to be as effective as traditional in-person therapy. This applies especially to widely shared issues that respond well to talk therapy and evidence-based techniques.
One major advantage of remote care is flexibility. People can connect with therapists in the format that best fits their needs and schedule - whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to keep consistent appointments and integrate therapy into a busy life.
All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they feel another fit would be better. For many, the effectiveness and convenience of online therapy make it a practical way to access ongoing mental health support.
