Whether you are new to therapy or returning, we all encounter speed bumps in life when we may find a need for support to work through and resolve past or current issues.

Thomas Birchfield
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with over 12 years of experience working with clients as they navigate life's challenges including changes in health, relationship issues, work stress, and caregiving. The majority of my work has centered around health psychology and helping clients achieve their personal goals for health and wellness.
