Richard Caliendo, LMHC

Has worked with my son for 3 plus years. Has a really great approach that works well for us and my son respects him and looks forward to their chats. Always responsive to my concerns and willing to focus on goals we have identified. He does work full time outside of his evening or weekends counseling and have a family therefore he takes time to respond to logistical stuff, but worth the wait in my opinion. Not at all focused only on money, often forgets to bill my copay.

Inexperienced.

I completely agree with the one other review. He does seem to watch the clock closely (15 minutes early) and seems money driven. He charged me twice for rescheduling my appointment for the very next day. I was on the fence about seeing him again, but now I'm certain.

Unfortunately I was hoping to have a great experience with this provider- he seemed to be one of the few child therapists in the area that was male. I was privately paying for the session and he still cut it short - he seems to have a lack of either insight or ideas or both when it came to helping my son express his feelings about the recent separation of his parents. I reached out to Ricky for follow up, and still have not received a call back. He seemed a bit money focused; I was disappointed
