I have over three decades as a leader by inspiring, coaching, speaking, and most importantly, leading by example, my views have been uniquely and carefully shaped. I embrace my “in the trenches” clinical approach and believe that leadership is a conscious decision made moment to moment, it supersedes gender, culture, position, or socio-economic status. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with everyone and every day…it’s how we should live.
I am often referred to as a “Professor” for my ability to teach a group how to bring hope out of questionable times. I use “Frame of references” to bring clarity to change real-life circumstances where the loss of hope and fear have been predominant. The fusion of my personal stories through conversation helps me connect with my audience and clients on an intimate, intense, and individual level.
I have served as Chief Executive Officer and /or a Senior Consultant for public and privately traded Healthcare organizations.
In addition to being a Licensed Psychotherapist, Licensed Marriage Therapist, and Licensed Family Therapist, Certified in Non-Violent Crisis Intervention, Certified Personal Trainer and past owner of Lake Houston Gym and Fitness, I am the author of Living in Green Pastures with Life Storys, a published inspiration/motivational book, and co-publisher of “Treatment Effectiveness in Adult Partial Hospitalization”.
Before my leadership efforts, I was a competitive collegiate football athlete and a champion both nationally and internationally in bodybuilding, health and fitness. I currently hold over 27 titles in bodybuilding and have conducted numerous workshops on Wellness / Fitness. Finally, I am a former consulting therapist for the National Basketball Association and served on the board of advisors for The Shoulder, Inc., Harris County, and awarded past Outstanding Young Men in America.
I look forward to meeting you and designing a plan to help you meet your personal goals now and in the future.

Lawrence understands and helps me understand my problems and helped me deal with them better, he sees things that my previous therapists didn't by paying attention to my actions and reactions, he is a kind person and brings a good vibe into every session which has helped me feel comfortable opening up to him which is a big change from my 2 other therapists (I mean that in no disrespect to my previous therapists) I couldn't be more grateful for the help Lawrence has provided and is providing me with!

Mr. Story is an amazing and well versed therapist. I think his greatest attribute is his spiritual awareness and knowledge. He reinforces the alignment of my actions to my beliefs. He helps me keep God centered in all things, as I desire. He offers new perspectives where needed and validates when I am already walking faithful. He’s full of tools and resources and his practices are evidence-based. I leave each session feeling inspired and ready to take on the world. My faith is always little stronger and I am constantly reminded of the works of God in our sessions. I highly recommend Mr. Story (but not so much that y’all take all the sessions lol).
This is my first time doing Bible-based therapy (as I call it), and it feels as on-time as a Sunday sermon or Wednesday night Bible study. God bless you Mr. Story!!

Working with this mental health therapist has helped me far more than I can think, image, or ask. Being able to talk things out has proven to be invaluable in my outlook on life and has awaken the business mind of my thinking and has help me to better process and handle challenges faced in the day to day. The most valuable information that I have consistently been applying is focusing on One thing. It has made a difference. Thank You Mr. Story!!!
