The REST you seek can be found
My back ground includes; USMC infantrymen, EMT-Paramedic 1990-2000, interventionist CIRT. My education includes: BA History and Psychology 2000, Masters Education in Counseling 2006, Master of Biblical Studies 2012, and Doctoral candidate EdD 2021. My areas of counseling interest includes trauma, sexual assault survivors, shame, empathy, grief, sex offender treatment provider, and stigma caused by emotional trauma that life creates. My clinical experience include children ages 7 through adults. Adolescents clients with problems of emotional regulation, behavioral, and trauma related experiences are of interest. My hobbies / coping skills of life include my faith, cooking, restaurant touring, wood working, black smithing and knife smithing, fishing, weightlifting and tai chi, and lastly fermenting foods and beverages.
My life philosophy is borrowed from Frtiz Perls who stated “Pain is meant to wake us up… Pain is something to be carried around, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It all depends on how you carry it.”
I have a B.S in Chemistry and many years in the Oil & Gas industry. My second degree is a Masters in Counseling. I lean more to cognitive behavioral therapy with a solution focused approach. I enjoy working with adolescents and the LGBTQ+ community. My personal interests include reading and crafting things. My greatest strength as a therapist is life experience. I think this gives me a unique perspective enabling me to empathize deeply with clients. I believe the most important thing a client needs is to know they are not alone and there is hope. The most exciting thing about therapy is the feeling of the "ahh ha!" moment. When we realize that over coming problems means we are on our way to a healthier life.
I come from a background of working with youths with Autism and other developmental disorders. I chose to take my passion for working with others and turned it into a career. I completed my bachelors of science in Psychology (2016) and my masters of science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (2020) from Wright State University in Fairborn Ohio. My clinical experience includes working with youths aged 7-18 in various settings including day treatment, juvenile justice, individual, group, and family therapy. My therapy style consists of an eclectic approach including person centered, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. I believe that an individual is the master of their own life and can find a sense of self-actualization that can lead to growth and fulfillment. I have a passion for helping youths and young adults experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional regulation. I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking, music, and reading.
I know how difficult it can be to take that first step towards seeking help, and I just want to commend you on that giant leap!
My name is Hassan, I am motivated and committed to being a part of your healing journey! My passion is towards helping others through difficult times. I aim to provide a therapeutic atmosphere that encourages self-exploration and growth through acceptance and support. The way that I approach therapy is eclectic in nature. What this means is that I recognize the need to be flexible and adaptive with each client. I tailor my approach to what can best serve you. I utilize various therapeutic modalities to achieve this goal, which include: Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral therapy, and Existential therapy. I have experience working with a wide variety of clients. My clinical focus is towards difficulties with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and trauma. I have worked with individuals experiencing difficulties with relationships to those struggling with addiction. I particularly enjoy working with adolescents, as I have previously run skills-building group therapy sessions with this population. A little about me! I am ¾ Egyptian and ¼ Cajun. I graduated with my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from the University of Houston-Victoria. In my down-time, I enjoy creating tasty meals and spending time with my bull-terrier Donatello! I enjoy reading sci-fi books and watching anime when I am not out with friends exploring new areas of Houston. I have a passion for exploring other cultures and really enjoy traveling to new spots! If you think we would be a good fit for one another, please reach out to me for our first session together! I look forward to taking these first steps in your journey through healing.
