“I am an eclectic service provider. My belief is that a holistic approach to clinical services represents the best approach to treating adults, children, and couples. Using multicultural competency and cultural awareness is key to connecting with my clients. Being a highly competitive person, I want to continue to grow and mature as a clinician and man. Developing a keen connection with all my clients and challenging them to reach their full potential in life is another important aspect of how I operate. My approach uses family systems and development to bring unity to households while focusing on reducing tension and interpersonal conflict. By focusing on helping my clients become complete in every way possible together we craft a clear direction in life and help them be the best version of themselves daily.”

Additionally, Terry has offered career counseling to more than 40 clients, and has a track record of suggesting clinically beneficial literature to aid clients in understanding their conditions better and discovering practical solutions for personal growth and development.

On a professional level, Terry is Certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (CDBT), Nationally Certified by the National Board of Certified Counselors (NCC), and Certified in CPR and First Aid.
