Meet The Founder & Lead Clinician
Capri Richardson M.A, LPC-Associate supervised by Angela Bulls, LPC-S
At First Contact Athletic Counseling PLLC, Capri understands the unique challenges faced by athletes, coaches, and their families in the sports world. Raised in a military and sports-loving home with both parents serving in the Air Force and playing volleyball, Capri developed a deep love for sports and what it means to be on a team with a common goal. She was a multi-sport athlete and found her passion for volleyball, playing club volleyball, and ultimately being recruited to play at the University of Montana. There, she earned her B.A. in Psychology and a minor in Dance. After graduation, she played professionally in Europe for three years. Upon retiring, she coached at the collegiate and club levels while obtaining her Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor.
Drawing from these rich experiences, Capri has made it her life's mission to provide the athletic community with pathways to achieve not only their athletic goals but also holistic health and success. She is known for creating a supportive and down-to-earth environment where individuals can embrace their authentic selves both in their sports performance and in life. Utilizing a blend of existential, solution-focused, and gestalt therapies, she is dedicated to helping you navigate issues such as anxiety, depression, unhealthy relationships with food, injuries, and trauma-based disorders. Don’t hesitate to seek the support you need – Capri is here to guide you on your journey.
