Otis Mann
I have worked with populations that have substance problems and who have been incarcerated, on probation, or parole. Very familiar with the military and aerospace industries. Although, I am extremely familiar with Christianity, secular counseling is important. Solution Focused Brief Therapy is my main interest because I feel the client knows him or herself better than any counselor. In this light, I become a helper rather than a therapist. I have used Written Exposure Therapy for Complex PTSD.

Has your day-to-day life become overwhelming? Are you feeling lost along the path of life and unsure what to do next? I believe that we have what it takes to take back control and make our lives the best we can. However, sometimes we need some help making sense of things, and that is where I come in. I believe that with a trusting relationship and a willingness to examine all parts of ourselves, we can begin to find the answers we seek. Using a cognitive behavioral approach, I will work with you to help identify potentially problematic thought patterns that may be holding you back. Life can throw us curveballs, but that does not mean that we have to face things alone. I graduated from Sam Houston State University in 2018, and I am able to help with organization skills and ADHD, addictions, anger, depression and anxiety relief, and helping you see the world through a new light. Times may be tough, but let's see if we can conquer them together!

My undergraduate Degree is in Physical Education/English from the University of Texas/Arlington. I taught High School English and coached women's Volleyball, Basketball, Track and Cross Country before completing my Masters Degree in Counseling from the University of Texas/Denton. I find that my teaching and coaching experience has greatly enhanced my skills as a counselor/therapist. I connect easily with people and gain their trust rather quickly and am able to teach them and motivate them to become their very best. I have experience working with Military personnel and their family members as a Department of Defense Counselor and as a Military Family Life Counselor. I have experience working with substance abuse having provided counseling for persons ordered to treatment by the courts. I have been providing counseling services for over twenty seven years both in private practice and as a full time employee, first with Dallas County Probation, then Department of Defense, then MHN as a consultant with the Military community. I have a very eclectic approach to therapy. I have to see what the client resonates with then offer that for them. I believe every person deserves to be safe and happy and i give my very best to help them achieve this. Because I have done a lot of trauma work i do a lot of work around the inner child. When you are raised in a dysfunctional homeor have experienced abuse and/or trauma the inner child, the keeper of the feelings often shows up to add a wrinkle to your present life. It is necessary to connect with the inner child and do some healing work in order to be happy in your present life. Sometimes it is hard but the end result is a completely happy person, comfortable in their own skin and in control of their emotions.
