I have over three decades as a leader by inspiring, coaching, speaking, and most importantly, leading by example, my views have been uniquely and carefully shaped. I embrace my “in the trenches” clinical approach and believe that leadership is a conscious decision made moment to moment, it supersedes gender, culture, position, or socio-economic status. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with everyone and every day…it’s how we should live.
I am often referred to as a “Professor” for my ability to teach a group how to bring hope out of questionable times. I use “Frame of references” to bring clarity to change real-life circumstances where the loss of hope and fear have been predominant. The fusion of my personal stories through conversation helps me connect with my audience and clients on an intimate, intense, and individual level.
I have served as Chief Executive Officer and /or a Senior Consultant for public and privately traded Healthcare organizations.
In addition to being a Licensed Psychotherapist, Licensed Marriage Therapist, and Licensed Family Therapist, Certified in Non-Violent Crisis Intervention, Certified Personal Trainer and past owner of Lake Houston Gym and Fitness, I am the author of Living in Green Pastures with Life Storys, a published inspiration/motivational book, and co-publisher of “Treatment Effectiveness in Adult Partial Hospitalization”.
Before my leadership efforts, I was a competitive collegiate football athlete and a champion both nationally and internationally in bodybuilding, health and fitness. I currently hold over 27 titles in bodybuilding and have conducted numerous workshops on Wellness / Fitness. Finally, I am a former consulting therapist for the National Basketball Association and served on the board of advisors for The Shoulder, Inc., Harris County, and awarded past Outstanding Young Men in America.
I look forward to meeting you and designing a plan to help you meet your personal goals now and in the future.

Mr. Story is amazing. I'm like a younger version of him it seems like. He gives me such sound advise on the things I'm going through whether it's in my marriage or individual life. I tried two other therapists but Lawrence Story is the best.

I believe Dr. Story very informative and in tune with his clients. He reads all journal entries and commended me for my writing and shared that I have a very reflective thought process when I journal.
I broke down in tears, because he saw the best in me I couldn't see it for myself.
Dr. Story does a wonderful job of wrapping sessions up with positive things from the session. This gives me positive affirmations and a sense of accomplishment. I am very appreciative to be pair with Dr. Story as a therapist.

Lawrence has really helped me to see I am not a lost cause and that I am human, if nothing else. He has helped me to stop 'beating myself up so bad' emotionally and mentally.. I have never had anyone to help me my entire llife. But BetterHelp and Lawrence have been a tremendous help.
