My name is Robert “Tony” Bell and I am a licensed professional counselor in the State of Texas, with over 14 years of experience working in the mental health field. I am a Christian, and blessed with a wonderful wife, three amazing children, and six adorable grandkids (all boys!).

My approach to therapy would be described as eclectic, where I incorporate a variety of counseling techniques, including but not limited to: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. There are useful and effective aspects found in all modes of therapy, which can be blended to customize a treatment plan unique to each individual client in order to address their specific goals and needs.
Additional areas of focus:Addictions, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Intimacy-related issues, Parenting issues, Anger management, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes, Coaching, Compassion fatigue, Abandonment, Adoption and foster care, Aging and geriatric issues, Avoidant personality, BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture, Body image, Commitment issues, Communication problems, Divorce and separation, Drug and alcohol addiction, Emptiness, Family problems, Fatherhood issues, Fertility issues, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Hospice and end-of-life counseling, Impulsivity, Infidelity, Isolation / loneliness, Life purpose, Men's issues, Midlife crisis, Mood disorders, Narcissism, Panic disorder and panic attacks, Polyamory / non-monogamous relationships, Process addiction (porn, exercise, gambling), Self-love, Sex addiction, Sexual assault and abuse, Sexual dysfunction, Sexuality, Social anxiety and phobia, Workplace issues

Robert "Tony" has been the first therapist I have been able to discuss my life hardships with. I was apprehensive to begin therapy, and I was upfront with Tony about that and he eased my hesitation within our first meeting. I have only had a handful of meetings with Tony so far, but I already feel like I've been matched with a caring therapist, qualified in this field, and he has been professional and friendly. Tony has made discussing difficult things feel less daunting, and has recommended steps along the way to begin healing. I am very pleased with Tony as my therapist and look forward to each of our meetings. Thank you so much!
