More about Tom

  • 17 years' experience
  • Male
  • LMFT

I hold a Master of Science degree in Psychology from Our Lady of the Lake University with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I also hold a Master of Science degree in Computer Science with over 30 years of software engineering experience. I have counseled clients at Family Time Foundation, The Women’s Home, The Houston Galveston Institute, Covenant House Shelter, Banyan Counseling, and Cypress Creek Hospital, Bloom Counseling & Family Service, National Smart Heathcare Services, Red Oak Psychiatry Associates PA, as well as in private practice. I work with adolescents and adults as individuals, families, couples, and groups. I have helped clients cope with issues related to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Depression, Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective Disorder, relationships, marriage and intimacy, etc.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process between the therapist and the client(s). We work together to find solutions to the issues and concerns that brought you to therapy. I see my job as listening without bias or judgement, helping you to dig deeper to identify the issues and concerns, working with you to find solutions, and then coaching and advising to make those solutions happen. I strongly believe it is important to focus on learning new ways to find success and happiness in life rather than to dwell on the past. I tend to look forward and focus on solutions. That doesn’t mean that the past doesn’t matter or that you can’t address the hurt and pain of your past – I will listen, and I will HEAR your story and help you process it. Finally, self-esteem and self-image are often at the root of mental health issues; this is an area I often focus on. I believe you are better than you think you are.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Great therapist! Very knowledgeable.

Tom is wise, caring and thoughtful. I'm glad he's my therapist - we've been able to navigate a lot of my troubles and he's helped me grow as a person. Other than the tools he's shared with me to improve self-awareness, he's also been a great active listener, giving me the time I need to express myself while also providing excellent feedback and insight into ways in which to observe and adjust my behavior.
