My name is John Uriarte, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas. I have been practicing clinical social work since 1987 when I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with my Master’s in Social Welfare. My approach to counseling is simple, I am here to listen and to help anyone who has the courage to ask for help. If you are letting the past dictate your future, then call me. Help is here.
I am a 24 year veteran of the U.S. Army and retired as Lieutenant Colonel . I treated soldiers and their family members who were dealing with the stressors of military life. When the war in Iraq started, I continued my counseling of soldiers in the war zone and when I returned, I was helping family members learning how to cope and deal with the changes in their loved ones. As a civilian, I continued my work with the VA. There I continued my work in helping veterans and their family members. If you are a vet, lets talk. If not, lets talk anyway. I am very good with phase of life problems and making transitions, like going from a marriage to divorce, a mid life crisis, etc.

John is an amazing therapist, he has helped me immensely with compulsion and addictive behavior. He listens very well and provided very insightful feedback to me about my behavior and it's causes as well as working towards concrete solutions. I am very grateful for his help and I do not feel like it is hyperbole to say that he has helped me change my life for the better and helped me save my marriage.
