As a Global War on Terror veteran with 19 years of military experience I know the challenges that service members, their families, and trauma survivors face on a personal level. I am here to let you know that you will not just survive, but you will overcome your circumstances. I specialize in therapy with veterans, law enforcement, first responders, soldiers with PTSD, couples, the LGBT community, survivors of physical and sexual abuse, child abuse, and victims of human trafficking. My goals when working with clients are to attack faulty thinking, improve coping skills, build resilience, and encourage adaptation to life challenges.
My approach to therapy includes utilizing techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing therapy, reality therapy, gottman method, and brief solution focused therapy, .
Don't be afraid to keep on living. Don't be afraid to choose life over death.
Take the first step to help. Call or Michael Stephen Stagar IV now - (254) 275-6352
