Douglas McCullough
Welcome! I'm Douglas and I would appreciate the opportunity to help you get on track and stay on track. You want to be heard. You want to be understood. You want to be respected. You want someone on your side to help you in your life journey. You are always my priority.
Mixing evidence-based methods and humor, we will address your priorities in a manner to help you make progress and help you to enjoy the journey.
Research tells us that the top predictor of excellent clinical outcomes is therapeutic rapport. That means that a great clinical relationship with your therapist is more important than any particular treatment theory. I have experience with adult clients across a wide range of racial, ethnic, gender and socioeconomic spectrums, and have demonstrated the ability to make every client feel heard and understood on their terms. Mixing evidence-based methods and humor, we will address your priorities in a manner to help you make progress and help you to enjoy the journey. In my practice, we fight. I want to help you become a mental health warrior.
First session
In the first session, we will build therapeutic rapport and get to know each other while we review intake and assessment information. My goal is to be on our way to a good relationship, with good data and diagnostics to guide us forward.
Strengths
My biggest strength is building an individualized approach with effective therapeutic rapport. I have specialized experience with Corrections/Forensic populations including working with correctional staff. I have demonstrated success with complex cases and mood and personality disorders.
Ideal clients
I have demonstrated success across all ages and genders. A few categories stand out. Proven success: - Forensic populations - Younger females finding their way, having relationship issues, or personality issues - Adult males in a crisis or who need a therapist who understands being a man in a confusing world - Adult females who have grown frustrated with their partners or trying to "do it all"
