About Naomi Richman

In addition to her private practice, she was a faculty member and supervisor at the Women’s Therapy Center in the East Bay for twenty-five years, and is still a supervisor and faculty member of The Psychotherapy Institute in Berkeley. Many years ago she tried to make it as a poet, but after running out of unemployment and only making $73 from her poetry, decided to return to graduate school.

When asked to state why she writes, she says “To think, to explore, to understand, to provoke, and with luck - to explain.”
