What families say about Optum providers in Texas

4.9from 2,600+ session ratings in the last year

My son attended a total of 10 sessions with Richard and I can say it was a success. I can tell there's a difference in my son's behavior and communication skills from session 1 to today. Richard also gave me helpful parenting tips and helped me realize my part in our home issues. I am very happy to have taken this step and in having Richard as our therapist.

It was a good session, she explained how the process works and was patient and professional.

Parent of a 9 year old · Sep 11, 2026

I am very excited to see where these sessions take us. Tonight was the first session and my daughter was so vocal. She’s not the one that talks a lot, but she was very vocal and explaining things to Dr. Nancy whenever she was asked a question, she got off the phone and said to me that this is fun so once we can make it fun, I know definitely we can keep her interested which would also help getting us where we need to be.
