HELLO, and THANK YOU for deciding to make a positive change in your life and for being open to how I can help you. HISTORY: I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas. In the past, I worked in the business world as an employee and later supervisor in various large and small companies. That supervision role prepared me to continue my education in counseling. As a counselor I worked in a community health clinic for seven years. Many of my patients had chronic pain and many health issues in addition to having feelings, thoughts and habits of behavior that they came to me for help in easing. While at the clinic I also taught classes in Weight Management and Smoking Cessation. For the past two years I have been in private practice. AREAS I WORK WITH: I have helped people with a wide range of concerns and mental health issues, and a few examples are chronic pain, PTSD, Panic Disorders, trauma/abuse, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, and life changes. I work with many modalities because I believe that just as each person’s needs are different, so is the type of help they need. I work hard to understand the basis of that person’s background, but only to use that information to structure a future that is changed. MY APPROACH: I use a neuro-cognitive approach. Within the last 20 years researchers in the neurosciences have become increasingly aware that the brain is malleable and capable of changing these neuronal patterns of anxiety and depression, thoughts, feelings, and habits of behavior, changing them in ways that Do Not require reliving the past in hurtful detail. THANK YOU for considering me, I would enjoy helping you get to a much more comfortable place!

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. The Best, Lawrence Story
