Hello. I am Tom WIssert a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama. My experience over the last several years has been with clients suffering with anxiety and depression. ADHD is also an area where I have expertise. As a Marriage and Relationship Counselor I have worked with couples having trouble with communication, parenting and intimacy. Using Motivational Interviewing and Active Listening I have been able to help clients see things from a different perspective and to identify problem thinking. Working with a Christian basis listening and using a Cognitive Behavioral approach and Person Centered counseling to help client resolve problems. Being a good listener is one of my spiritual gifts and using things clients tell me to unlock some deeper issues is a great reward for both the client and myself. A goal of mine is a 24 hour message return. I usually check messages throughout the day and return messages before leaving the office.
