The Mind of A Therapist

Meet Doug Withrow! As a therapist, he seeks to create a safe place where your discovery can happen — a place to heal emotional pain, come to new understandings of “who you are,” and develop new skills for coping with life’s surprises. Doug understands there are many avenues to growth. He values insight-oriented work, and cognitive behavioral therapy. In addition, as an Ordained Minister with a Master of Divinity he values the role of spirituality in the healing process.
