Meeting Overview: 

Join Angie Richard to explore healthy and unhealthy boundaries and communication, along with the necessary skills to confidently make changes in these areas.

We recognize that many of the HR complaints and/or long-standing employee issues are surrounding communication and boundaries both personally and professionally. Ineffective/damaging communication and leadership systems continue due to lack of action on boundaries. Changing these boundaries is a hard sell because we are looking to change responses that have been embedded lifelong. Post pandemic we are seeing an influx of professional and personal boundary and communication issues that not only overload HR, but they also degrade the company culture and open up the company for significant liability. Recognizing unhealthy boundaries and communication patterns, along with maintaining and resetting of healthy boundaries in the workplace post pandemic is crucial. Being able to have the hard conversations around this as well as maintaining your own boundaries, effective communication skills and modeling for others is essential to everyone in HR.

She has worked with a variety of demographic populations including adolescents 14+, adults, LGBTQIA2S+, adults with Intellectual Disabilities (I.D.), and groups.

Angie believes in the idea of knowledge as power, but only when shared. As a facilitator of EAP and Corporate communication programs, she creates and presents webinars, live trainings, and guest lectures to companies/ groups/professionals on a variety of topics. A dynamic and engaging presenter, she provides real word solutions and down-to-earth conversation as she incorporates 19 years of therapeutic experience with timely topics and a tailor-made approach to your needs.

In her efforts to foster the strengths of clinicians through supervising and mentoring, Angie created the internship program and co-created the mentor program at C-NTA, with the desire to pay forward the wisdom and knowledge she gained from so many.

Angie is trained in a variety of trauma-informed treatments including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy((TF-CBT), and Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET). Her approach to providing treatment is rooted in dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), respectively.

Angie has proven herself effective in putting together skilled solutions for the treatment/management of anxiety, depression, dual diagnosis (behavioral health & addiction), emotional/physical/sexual abuse, personality disorders, anger management, bipolar disorder and parenting skills.

Dynamic and creative in sessions/trainings, Angie creates an inviting, non-judgmental environment to explore change. She uses an Existential/Humanistic approach by meeting people where they are and working toward resilience in their everyday lives. She works to show how what once felt impossible is now achievable. This resilience and use of skills allows a freedom for her clients to achieve their goals – at any level – via therapy, consulting, training, and guest lecture.

Perpetually curious and a lifelong learner, Angie is always looking forward to the next adventure, be it travel, crafting, or time spent laughing with those close to her.
