Richard Granstaff

Richard Granstaff

Therapist

Virtual • California


I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and Certified Addiction Treatment Counselor (CATC-IV) with over 16 years of experience in behavioral health and substance use treatment. I was certified in 2012 for addiction treatment and licensed in 2022 for mental health. I work with adults navigating substance use and recovery, co-occurring anxiety and depression, and life transitions that impact emotional well-being.

I have particular experience supporting men and members of the LGBTQIA+ community in building sustainable recovery, strengthening emotional resilience, and improving relationship health. My work is grounded in a deep respect for the recovery process and the courage it takes to pursue change. I understand that growth is rarely linear, and I approach each client with patience, steadiness, and practical support.

I provide structured, virtual outpatient therapy for adults managing mild to moderate symptoms who are seeking stability, accountability, and meaningful forward movement. At the heart of my work is a commitment to clarity and care to help clients better understand themselves while feeling respected, supported, and empowered throughout the process.

Kristi Mills

Kristi Mills

Therapist

Virtual • California


You might be struggling with conditions like addiction, depression, anxiety, or grief. I know how important it is for you to have open, genuine conversations where you feel truly heard and understood. After completing my MSW degree at the University of Kansas, I began practicing and have been licensed for 23 years. I have advanced training in Mindful Self Compassion therapy and more recently completed a year long program in Psychedelic Assisted Therapy and am certified in Ketamine Assisted Therapy and Psilocybin facilitation so can provide education about working with psychedelics and microdosing.

I understand grief and addiction from personal experience. My journey led me to help others facing similar struggles. For 17 years, I guided incarcerated men in finding self-compassion, healing trauma, and breaking free from destructive cycles before devoting myself exclusively to private practice for the past 5 years. I offer in person appointments in Beaverton on Tuesday and Thursday evenings..I look forward to working with you for solutions.
