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

Hi, I’m Andie. I believe there is a powerful connection between what we believe about ourselves and how we respond to life’s challenges. My role is to create a safe, collaborative space where you can explore your story and develop practical tools for change. I focus on helping you build your sense of self so you can more easily identify what works best for you and communicate those needs effectively. I know firsthand how early experiences shape our relationships and self-worth. Growing up in an alcoholic home taught me both the cost of unmet needs and the healing power of support. Today, my passion is helping others move from surviving to thriving. I work with adults facing depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, addiction, parenting challenges, and the lingering effects of childhood trauma. My style is conversational, interactive, and tailored to each client. Whoever you choose to work with, keep reaching for the version of yourself you deserve—healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone. Warm regard, Andie
