Counseling for men who'd rather fix it than talk about it.

We talk. I'll ask what brought you in, what you've already tried, and what you'd want to be different. You don't need to prepare anything or have it figured out beforehand. There's nothing you have to disclose before you're ready — we go at your pace, and you decide what you share and when.

Only if it turns out to be useful, and only when you want to. Some men find that their history explains a pattern they've been stuck in for years. Plenty of others get what they came for without going back there at all. You set the agenda. If I think something's worth a look, I'll say so — and you can still say no.

I don't really think in those terms. The more useful question is whether you're ready for something to change. Plenty of men come in functioning fine on paper — job handled, family handled, responsibilities handled — and still feel like they're carrying all of it alone or running on empty. That's reason enough.

It depends on what you're dealing with, and it isn't something I'll try to stretch out. Some men get real relief in a handful of sessions and stop. Others work through a backlog and then move to occasional check-ins. Some stay longer because the work is worth it to them. We'll talk about it as we go rather than committing you to a number up front.

Almost all of it. What you say in session stays between us. There are a few limits I'm required to work within: if I believe you or someone else is in serious danger, if there's suspected abuse or neglect of a child, an older adult, or a person with a disability, or if a court orders records released. Separately, if you're using insurance, your plan receives limited billing information — dates of service, a procedure code, and a diagnosis — because that's how claims get paid.

No — I work with individuals only. That said, relationships are a large part of what we talk about. If your marriage, your kids, or a conflict at work is what's driving the stress, that's squarely on the table. You'll just be the one in the room.

No. I'm a licensed professional counselor, not a physician, so prescribing isn't something I'm able to do. If medication seems worth considering, we can talk it through, and I can point you toward a physician or psychiatrist who can evaluate that properly.

No. Every session is in person at the North Richland Hills office. That's a deliberate choice — one hour that's actually yours, with no notifications, no split attention, and no dropped connection in the middle of something that matters.

Let me know at least 24 hours ahead and there's no charge. Cancellations inside 24 hours and missed appointments are billed a $75 fee. Insurance won't cover that one — a missed session isn't a billable service, so it comes out of pocket. The reason is simple: that hour was held for you and can't be filled on short notice.
