My Approach to Helping
Douglas Gorman has been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) since 2015 and has been in the helping profession for over 10 years. Douglas likes to work with individuals adults and couples. He prefers a client that is willing to try and be honest with themselves about their needs and behaviors. Douglas has extensive experience in trauma, crisis, anxiety, depression, parenting, and general life challenges. Douglas completed his Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Communications from the University of Rhode Island and went on to obtain his Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University in Tampa Florida. He has been listening to people talk about their problems since he was a teenager and trying to offer the best advice possible. When he was in his early 20s one of his best friends committed suicide which cemented his desire to help others with their issues, so their family and friends would not experience that pain themselves. Douglas has an innate ability to connect with people quickly due to my non-judgmental nature which helps me help people with the issues they want/need help with, instead of the issues I feel they need to correct. Douglas specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy combined with a humanistic approach. This helps Douglas get to the cause of the issue and provide steps to reach your goals with empathy and compassion. Douglas believes that he can work with you to help overcome almost any issue that you are having and is ready to start helping you help yourself. One of the hardest things we can do in life is ask for help and if you are ready and have the courage to ask, Douglas is ready, willing, and able to assist you. All you have to do is take that next step and schedule an appointment today.
