Dr. Richard Formica, Ph.D.
LICENSED PSYCHOLOGIST & PARENTING EXPERT
As a Psychologist and Parenting Expert with over 40 years of teaching patients and parents how to use practical psychological skills, my goals are to help you flourish psychologically and to simultaneously raise psychologically healthy children.
Parenting is an exquisite journey in which we are pursuing our most deeply cherished values—to raise children whom we can be proud of and happy for.
My mission is to help you to accomplish this while growing yourself as a parent and as a person. It is what my wife Marilynn and I, as parents, committed ourselves to do with our three lovely children, and continue to do with our six precious grandchildren. It is what I would like to pass on to you.

Parent Counseling
with Parents
Parenting can be joyful. Parenting can be connecting intimately. Parenting can be emotionally moving. But it is difficult, complicated, confusing and challenging. As an expert in parent counseling, I teach a comprehensive, skill-based approach in which I apply a problem-solving method to select and apply concrete skills and specific approaches to parent-child problems.
