Treatment Approaches
Blake is passionate about building a strong relationship with his clients, as the relationship between the therapist and client is key to effective counseling. He desires to see adolescents, adults, and couples set free from issues they have been dealing with for days, decades, or anywhere in between. Blake takes a solution-focused approach with his clients. He is passionate about helping people who have difficulty with anxiety, depression, church hurts and burnout, pastor buronout, sex and pornography addiction, drug and alcohol addiction, anger management, trauma, sex issues, grief, relationship problems, life transitions, and spiritual issues. Blake can provide Christian counseling upon request.
Blake desires to understand each client’s unique values and experiences that shape who they are so that the client is enabled to make better choices for their future and are able to live a more fulfilled and meaningful life. Blake strives to create a safe, caring, and compassionate environment where clients are able to explore pain and struggles. No matter what the client is going through, there is hope, and we will work together to find solutions in our sessions.
Education and Training
Blake earned a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Hardin-Simmons University. He also holds a Master of Divinity degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He currently attends Amberton University and will graduate in May 2022 with a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling.
Background and Experience
Blake is married to the love of his life. His wife is a family nurse practitioner. They have two young children who keep them very busy. In his free time, Blake enjoys playing with his kids, grilling, playing games, taking his rescue dog on walks, playing the guitar, having good conversations with people, and baking.
Blake has worked in children’s, youth, college, and young adult ministries at multiple churches around Texas and in the Boston area. He has also served as a worship leader. He lived in Southeast Asia as a missionary for two years which gave him a desire to love and serve people from all cultures and backgrounds. He taught ESL to adult international students for seven years, and has worked in various roles with international students and in corporate immigration.
Personal Statement
Life is hard, and new challenges are constantly coming. I want to be a listening ear and help you discover new ways of viewing life and new ways to find solutions to problems. I have seen God do amazing things in the lives of so many people, and I look forward to seeing how he will work in the lives of my clients to bring about healing, restoration, and change.
