“Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.”
After obtaining a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Texas Women's University in 1985, Troy's passion for behavioral health work began. In addition to his work with adolescents, families, and couples counseling, he spent several years working with New Life Clinics, Paul Meier Day Hospital and othe
r outpatient clinics and gained valuable experience working with adolescents and addictions. Troy is also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a very fast paced healing process for all types of trauma, PTSD, abuse issues, anxiety, overwhelming emotions, grief issues and cravings. He works with athletes suffering from mental blocks, injuries and other issues inhibiting performance. Even after an injury is completely healed, the brain can often retain the pain memory, causing the athlete to compensate by favoring one side over the other, for example. More than 50% of his athletic clients are able to completely move past it in just one or two sessions. "A person's belief system is most important. What do you believe about yourself, your world and your purpose in this world? How does the problem you are experiencing relate to that belief? Spirituality and religion are a strong part of this. For those who request, I offer Christian/Biblical counseling. For those desiring a different approach, I am respectful of their beliefs and direction."
