Hello, my name is Douglas and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas. In addition to being an LPC I am certified to supervise (LPC-S) Licensed Professional Counselor Interns. I am also a member of the National Honor Society in Psychology and I have over 24 years experience working with individuals, couples and groups. I believe in the power of the individual ~ in the individual’s creativity, courage, choice, free will, and desire to become better. I believe people make choices about themselves, others and the world, and set goals for their lives based on their perceptions of reality. Sometimes these perceptions are distorted and discouraging. Counseling aids individuals in discovering and recognizing their distorted views, in developing more effective ways to reach their goals, and in decreasing their discouragement. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution based and emotional interviewing therapies. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. The therapy process is a cooperative effort between the individual and the counselor where each assumes an active and responsible role in that process. I will contribute my knowledge and expertise to assist you in gaining insight and making educated choices, I will provide you with experiences in which to test those choices, and I will support you with encouragement, patience, and optimism. You will contribute your personal knowledge, your commitment to explore yourself and your beliefs honestly. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! I look forward to talking with you and assisting you in achieving your goals.

There are times in life where you may feel lost and struggle to understand, change, or accept life and the circumstances that surround you. Sometimes you need someone in your corner when times are tough where it seems like there is no way out of a negative situation. My passion is to be in your corner and help support you in your time of need through psychotherapy. My therapeutic approach focuses on a client- center approach such as Cognitive behavior Therapy (CBT) and Reality therapy. I want to encourage you to focus on your mental health and life issues such as depression, anxiety, past trauma, loss of a loved one, relationship issues, or any other life change you may be going through. I Believe that your mind is a powerful tool that can affect your emotions which then can change your behaviors. My goal is to help guide you to focus on your negative thought processes and overcome them together for a positive outcome. I aim to help you understand how to focus on your needs, set goals, problem solve, and create more meaningful connections with others.
