LPC/MHSP, 26 years of experience
I earned a BS in Social Work from Tuskegee University in 1997 and graduated from Argosy University School of Psychology and Behavioral Sciences in 2007 with a MA in Professional Counseling. I am licensed by the State of Tennessee as a Professional Counselor and Mental Health Service Provider and is a Nationally Certified Counselor. He has over 20 years of experience in the Mental Health and Social Work fields. I have also completed 24 hours of course study in criminal profiling through Forensic Solutions Inc. and formerly was an approved treatment provider for sex offenders through the Tennessee Sex Offender Treatment Board.
The first session is alot of information gathering so I can formulate a treatment plan to best assist the client. The first is a lot of me asking detailed questions and the client doing a lot of talking.
I believe my greatest strengths are that I am very approachable and make clients feel comfortable.
I can work with any type of client no matter how mild or severe the presenting issues
I like to use CBT to help the client learn how their thoughts and beliefs affect their behaviors and interactions with others.
