More About Richard
Richard Koo is an Art Therapist at Bright Paths Recovery and a Los Angeles-based artist whose path into addiction treatment was shaped by his own lived experience with substance use. Formally trained in fine arts at California State University, Northridge, Richard developed his creative foundation early in life before navigating his own struggle with addiction, an experience that deepened his empathy and ultimately forged a passion for helping others facing similar challenges.
Drawing from that personal journey, Richard developed a distinctive therapeutic approach that uses art as a tool to address substance use disorders and mental health, creating prompts and frameworks specifically designed to repurpose creative expression as a vehicle for healing. At Bright Paths Recovery, Richard helps clients reconnect with their creativity, find inner peace, and discover that the same drive that once fueled destructive patterns can become the foundation for a purposeful, fulfilling life in recovery.
