Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Super helpful
Telehealth
I've been seeing Richard remotely via Zoom and it's been super helpful. In a short period of time he's helped me understand what my priorities are and what I need to focus on: what matters, why and what to do about it. I initially chose Richard based on his experience with men's issues and ADHD - I've got 'em both - and he proved the perfect choice. Thank you, Richard, for all your guidance and input.

The Best
I recently started seeing Richard twice a week remotely via Zoom and he has been a true blessing in my life. He's helped me immensely in navigating through difficult times in both my business and personal life. Richard is incredibly wise, empathetic, and non-judgmental. He genuinely cares and wants to help others and intentionally keeps his practice affordable so he can make a difference to those who need it most. I've seen several therapists in the past and Richard is the first one I really felt aligned with. He has a no-nonsense approach and gives real, tangible advice while also being understanding and empathetic. What makes Richard unique is his incredible wisdom in both business coaching and personal relationships. He also has deep experience working with adults with ADHD which has helped me tremendously. Thank you Richard!

Best Therapist in Town
I came across Richard Vogel while searching for a licensed therapist in OC and I am so happy I did! I was hesitant about Telehealth therapy at first, but I don't think I will ever go back to in-person therapy. Telehealth has proved to be just as effective and much easier to manage into my schedule. Richard is the best therapist I have ever had because he challenges my thoughts/fears and is direct yet compassionate. I already feel like I have made progress in just a couple of months. Thank you for accepting me as a new client, I am forever grateful!

Top Notch Therapist
Richard has been an awesome therapist and guide to bettering myself and overcoming my anxiety and adhd. Due to my busy schedule meeting in person is near impossible. He offers zoom therapy meetings and his Zoom meetings are top notch, and has allowed me to experience amazing counsel though the many challenges of my life. I couldn’t recommend him enough for any person looking to better themselves and overcome their mental health obstacles.

Richard is such a delight and has helped us tremendously and in every sense of the meaning has helped us to build a stronger bond and marriage. He brings humor and wit while handling light hearted topics but has the ability to navigate us thru difficult conversations with wisdom and kindness. We leave each therapy knowing more about each other and feel more in love understanding why we “do the things we do”. Anyone who is lucky enough to meet Richard and have him help build a strong marriage and relationship would agree he is a true gem and one of a kind therapist and we are grateful for him for helping save our relationship and build a strong foundation.

Richard has been a joy to work with and so helpful in his guidance. He was able to help my wife and I through some uncertain times and conversations. We are now more aware different behaviors in our relationship and are able to react accordingly. Bonus points if you have cats and they are extroverts during your virtual sessions - he loves them!

Richard has helped me get through some rough stuff, and always made me feel like I had someone in my corner. I'm going out there on my own thanks to Richard's help processing my baggage and thinning it out. I know he will be a beacon for me again if I self destruct again! Mahalo old Friend!

Richard is fantastic on all levels. I found him about a year and a half ago and have been seeing him regularly ever since. Ive read a quite a few of the glowing reviews of him that are on this site both before and after meeting him, and if anything people are underselling him, he really is phenomenal. Richard is attentive and full of life experience, which make his insights even more accurate and applicable. He has a seemingly natural ability to take in the first person perspective of your experiences and then fill in the gaps and hand you back something tangible that you can examine and see from angles that were previously invisible to you. On top of all that he is always friendly and punctual, and he double checks to verify appointments the day prior. I feel genuinely lucky to have found him, he helped me through a very rough patch and has continued to help me grow ever since. I really cannot recommend Richard highly enough.

Richard has been an essential ally in helping to manage my ADHD throughout a job transition, moving, new baby, and now in working from home during the COVID-19 crisis. He was quick to adapt our sessions to an online format using Zoom - which is very convenient with my hectic life/schedule. After going nowhere with a couple therapists who 'just listened', Richard was exactly what I needed. Not only does he listen, he is able to offer actionable coaching and help hold me accountable. If you are looking improve the way you feel - and the way you live - Richard can help.

***ZOOM*** Talk about a god send! If you are looking for a great therapist, Richard is your guy. We have transitioned our sessions to video therapy through encrypted zoom. I couldn't be more thankful to him for adapting to the current environment in order to still be there for his clients. But that is the kind of person Richard is. He shows empathy, is accepting, easy to talk to, and wise. Richard is straightforward with his advise yet gentle. His approach makes you feel comfortable, understood, and safe to open up. I am so grateful for his patience and guidance. I look forward our sessions every week. I recommend him hands down, you will not be disappointed.

Richard Vogel has been my therapist for over a year now. He is very wise (that comes from the many years of experience he has accumulated). He is professional and very easy to talk to. Even during this COVID-19 situation, he has conducted our sessions through video therapy on encrypted Zoom. I strongly recommend him.

I've been seeing Richard for about two years now, and he has been a great help with my personal growth. He is very knowledgeable and has a wealth of experience, these things allow him to quickly pinpoint the issues that I bring to discuss each session. I have done a remote zoom session with Richard, and there has not been any decrease in the quality of the session. Connecting remotely was a breeze and I look forward to more remote sessions.

I don't typically like therapists, but I really like Richard. He is easy to talk to and spend time with. There is obviously a lot to be said for experience, and he has quite a bit. At times, I've gone to see him just to spend time with him.

I only got to see Richard Vogel for a few sessions, but it was so impactful. He is older and he just came off as very wise. I never had a grandfather to talk to but I imagine that it would be something like this, except he has the schooling to back it up. He was straight to the point, he knew what questions to ask. He had me figured out in the first session. I highly recommend him, I would still be going if I didn't have crappy insurance.
