Richter Scale Psychological Services
Dr. Tara Richter, PsyD, LP

I have over ten years of experience working as a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, working for a local hospital system. I am now offering services through my own practice in downtown Duluth. I conduct complex evaluations for both children and adults, as well as provide general therapy services. I love working with individuals and helping them recognize their inner strengths and how to access them.

  • Dementia

  • TBI

  • Personality Disorders

I offer both long-term and short-term therapy designed to suit your needs. I perform therapy for all ages, including:

  • Family/couples therapy

  • Group therapy

  • Gender and Identity Affirming Therapy

Billing and Insurance

As a provider going out on my own, I am hoping to accept the insurance plans shown below, but the process of working with these insurance companies is a slow one.

I will also provide private pay as an option. This may be a better approach if you have a high deductible or believe that the service you seek will not be covered by your insurance. Private pay appointments are also easier to schedule, as we will not need to wait for insurance approval. In any case, I will provide you a super bill for your services which you can submit to your insurance company for out-of-network coverage.

Insurance plans I am currently negotiating with:

  • Medicare

  • Medicaid

  • Optum (for Medica)

  • Blue Cross / Blue Shield

  • UCare

  • Health Partners

  • Tricare

  • BadgerCare

  • United Health

About Me

I have been a licensed Clinical Psychologist since 2016. I hold licensure in both Minnesota and Wisconsin. In addition, I hold a valid PsyPact APIT certification that allows me to do telehealth / virtual therapy sessions in any of the 40+ valid participating states.

Previously, I worked for a local hospital for over 10 years and have lots of experience with the intersection between mental and physical well-being.

I enjoy doing complex psychological evaluations for both children and adults and a variety of therapy populations. I have worked extensively with the 2SLGBTQAI community and practice gender and identity-affirming care.

One of the greatest pleasures of my work is watching individuals recognize their own internal resiliency and learn how to access that!
