Dr. Richard E. La Fleur earned his Bachelors of Science, Masters of Psychology and Ph.D. in Psychology, (Consciousness and Society) at the University of West Georgia.

Central to Dr. La Fleur's research is the concept of Moral Injury and the lived experiences of cultural dissonance that perpetuates populous fragmentation and creates deep wounds within the soul. Dr. La Fleur seeks to initiate spaces for communal dialogues to foster physical, mental, and spiritual healing and growth both through individuals and community. As a liaison and advocate for veterans and other military personnel, Dr. La Fleur is instrumental in navigating the challenges of transitioning from military life to civilian life (including veterans seeking higher education). As a certified facilitator of Therapeutic Enactment (a group-based therapy that engages clients in a dynamic interpersonal and action-based process), Dr. La Fleur helps clients physically, emotionally, cognitively, and spiritually address trauma on multiple levels.
