Mayra Richards

Mayra Richards is a Licensed Professional Counselor located in Atlanta, GA. Mayra is passionate about helping individuals and couples become closer to themselves, their loved ones, and God. She works with people who feel disconnected from their authentic selves, confused about life direction, or want to learn more about their minds.

Mayra approaches therapy using evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). With CBT, Mayra helps clients break free from harmful thought patterns and connect their emotions to their actions. To support clients who previously experienced difficult situations or traumatic events, Mayra practices EMDR to help them move past those adverse experiences. Mayra helps individuals process their past experiences in childhood and heal childhood wounds to better understand and thrive as adults.

Mayra earned her Master’s degree from Richmont Graduate University. Her goal is to empower clients to discover their life purpose and take steps towards that life purpose. With a background in Christianity, Mayra often brings God into the therapy space for those clients who would like to discuss religiosity.
