Ralph DeMar
I am an empowerment specialist (Therapist) who assists clients in finding their own answers. I understand that most issues that people seek help for, at its core, is devalue. When we are devalued we become very angry and hurt. Therapy is primarily an educational experience in which the client is given new information. The client is able to see how influences from early experiences shape us into the person we have become. Some of those influences are helpful but others are not. In the therapy process we must identify the "schemas" or tendencies that we learned from the elders in our families that have not served us well. Therapy is a journey not a destination. Therapy places a person on a journey of self discovery, open mindedness, and self love. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for over 20 years. I hold a masters degree in Clinical Psychology, now known as Forensic Psychology. I seek to empower my clients and give them their "microphone", their voice back. I seek to assist clients to claim or reclaim their identity and give them permission to claim the original Identity given to them by the creator. A quality life requires tough decisions and courage. Asking for help takes courage. Open up and begin your journey.....the world is waiting on you!
Donna Byxbe
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Texas. I have been practicing since 1995, most of this time in Community Mental Health Programs. I have worked with many issues of concern to my clients, ranging from serious mental illness to life choices. I have worked with adults, children, adolescents, elderly individuals, couples and groups. In 2005, I opened my private practice and kept it open full time until 2020. During the pandemic, my clientele reduced due to my choosing to begin telehealth sessions instead of face-to-face sessions. I am residing in a smaller city and most of the population is not comfortable with tele-health so I decided to continue at a reduced capacity as long as possible. In early 2021, I accepted the vaccine in an effort to revive my practice but became ill due to complications. I stopped practicing for approximately 3 months, until I could be sure that I was feeling well enough to provide my clients with the services they deserved. In December 2021, I tested positive with the virus and became very ill. I am now practicing through Better Help rather than begin my solo private practice again. I am competent in the use of Cognitive-Behavioral, Psychodynamic, Client-Centered, and Transpersonal therapies. I specifically focus on hypnotherapy, meditation, and inner child support in the Transpersonal therapies. Each of these therapies are used based on the treatment plan which is derived from the problems or concerns that the client defines as their choice for treatment and the goal they wish to reach. In working with couples, the goal is to enhance healing independently and interdependently. I believe that we are attracted to someone who fits like a lock and key with ourselves. This engages our personal issues so that our significant other becomes the rock upon which we break ourselves and then heal through positive communication techniques, compromise and negotiation. I believe that each person is unique and the path for growth of each person can only be determined by themselves, or jointly, for couples. My role in the support of my clients is to lend them my knowledge, feedback and guidance as they grow through the process of the journey. Each client has the right to self-determination and respect and can refuse any treatment suggestion without fear of consequences. I am honored to assist you in your choice of becoming the best version of yourself, and, if appropriate, as a union of two creating a separate identity while maintaining each individually.

My Treatment Approach I take an integrative, client-centred approach to Therapy, which means I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs, goals, and challenges. I draw from a variety of evidence-based techniques, including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – to help you identify and challenge negative thought patterns and develop healthier, more adaptive ways of thinking. Mindfulness-Based Therapy – to help you become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in the present moment, which can reduce stress and improve emotional regulation. Solution-Focused Therapy – to help you focus on your strengths, explore practical solutions, and move forward with greater clarity. Person-Centred Therapy – to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and valued, fostering more profound self-acceptance.

I strive to create a supportive, empowering, and collaborative environment where we work together toward our personal goals. How I Can Help Life does not always go as planned, and it can sometimes feel overwhelming when faced with stress, uncertainty, or dissatisfaction in various areas of our lives. Whether you are struggling with loneliness, career burnout, relationship difficulties, or self-doubt, I can help you better understand your thoughts and behaviours, break free from limiting patterns, and develop new ways of coping. My approach is practical but compassionate—I believe that lasting change comes from a combination of self-awareness, self-compassion, and actionable strategies.

Dale Thompson
Hi, I'm Dale. Turns out life is not so easy after all. We find ourselves dealing with situations we would not have expected. At times, we feel that things are getting out of control or have already done so. Perhaps you have decided, or someone has encouraged you, that it is time to partner with someone professionally. Perhaps I can help. We were created to work in teams. But working with or coping with others is often one of the greatest challenges. We can also just be imperfect in the roles we perform in life. Early in my adult life, I set out on a mission to serve others. I worked in many capacities related to this life purpose of helping others increase their capacity for healing, coping, forgiving, and self-management. It encourages me when a person in need shows the courage and strength to reach out, open the door, or get on a video call to team up with me or another provider/helper. Trust the process, your inner spirit, and that there is good intended for your life beyond suffering, confusion, or pain you are currently experiencing. I have served 20 years as an officer, counseling military service members and their families. I have multiple deployments as a mental health provider. I also have experience working with individuals in psychiatric hospitals, the justice system, the mission field/church, and elementary and middle school education and counseling. Additionally, and perhaps most importantly, I have experienced my own ups and downs. I am a family man with a wife and 4 children, three are now adults. One small part of my life experience is living with pain from a traumatic accident. I had extended multiple surgeries, hospital stays and have progressed from bedridden to walking without assists. I have experience with suffering, disappointment, and recovery. God is the center of my life, and my service to ALL is based on respect for personal decision making, love and honesty. This process is not about me. It is about you, and me meeting you where you are. And you, at some point, moving forward assured of the person you want to be and the tools to get there. I specialize in a range of areas including anger management, family relationships, grief/bereavement, suffering and pain, military/veteran issues, multicultural/diversity issues, PTSD, intimate/romantic relationships, sex/intimacy, sleep disorders, spirituality, stress, trauma, aging and life transition issues, depression, anxiety, ADHD, medical issues/physical health, and parental and family support. My approach is holistic and tailored to meet your unique needs in a therapeutic relationship. If you're ready to take the next step, let's connect and work together towards your goals. I look forward to partnering with you on this journey.
