Kasimu-Richard Harley, LMFT

Kasimu-Richard Harley is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 27 years of experience. He draws on long professional work in outpatient and residential treatment, plus experience in educational settings and workplace coaching. He lists concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting, and blended family issues among others.

Harley describes a life shaped by military service, family roles, and cross-cultural roots. He has worked with adolescents and adults in substance use and mental wellness settings. He has also supported teachers and administrators with stress reduction and work-balance coaching.

His clinical approach is systemic and eclectic. He uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and trauma-focused practices. In a session he talks with people about their patterns, teaches skills to manage thoughts and behaviors, and practices breathing and attention exercises when useful.

Sessions tend to focus on clear, practical goals such as managing anxiety, reducing substance-related harm, coping with grief, or sorting relationship and co-parenting tensions. He pays attention to how family roles and early attachments shape current struggles. Conversations move between problem-solving, skill practice, and reflecting on what matters most.

People who pick Harley usually want straightforward discussion and skills they can try between sessions. He accepts clients in English and will work with international clients as noted. For session options and scheduling, confirm current online and in-person formats before booking.
