Therapists in Tupelo, MS

Whether going through life challenges, relationship struggles, or just finding yourself "stuck," one of the best things to help is to invest in yourself. Would you be willing to let someone come alongside you who is trained to listen more deeply, look at things that you may or may not have considered, and provide a safe place to be brave? Making life changes can be hard, difficult, and challenging but you do not have to go at it alone. Let someone come alongside you who wants nothing more for you than your absolute best!

You may find yourself reading this for a number of reasons and this could be the first step towards creating the change you're desiring. I believe that progress equals happiness and in the power of the human spirit. Together we will create a counseling relationship centered on acceptance, commitment, & compassion in the pursuit of growth.

You may be considering therapy because you feel stuck in painful emotions or circumstances and aren’t sure how to try something new or even know what to try. As a therapist with over 20 years of experience helping individuals and families, I can help you to develop a clear vision of how you would like to move forward in your life, identifying barriers that may interfere with your goals, and building skills to connect you with your strengths so you can make steps in a positive direction.

I am at my best when helping people work through issues associated with grief, depression, anxiety, addiction, as well as marriage and relationship struggles. Working through some of the more uniquely modern struggles, such as screen and pornography addiction is also a focus of my practice. I also love pre-marital counseling.

I love Mississippi and I love meeting the people who live here. I believe everyone has a story and I consider it an honor to be in a position to hear those stories. I come from a Christian perspective and the interventions I use are congruent with my beliefs and values. The primary interventions I use are from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), and other proven family therapy models. I do not impose my personal beliefs and values onto my clients. This process is about you, not me.

Life isn’t always the easiest thing to do. Sometimes we get overwhelmed by situations, people, or even our own thoughts and feelings. You may have even asked yourself questions like "What's wrong with me?" or "Why don't I have all my stuff together like everyone else?" The good news is, we’re all in this together—you’re not alone! Whether you're struggling with obsessions or compulsions, deconstructing your faith, or navigating relationships, identity, or mental health issues, it can be helpful—and even freeing—to have someone to confide in.

Phillip has worked in the mental health profession since 2009, and has been a licensed professional counselor since 2014. He is experienced in working with clients who struggle with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and spiritual development issues. Phillip is an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, and he strives to provide a comfortable and safe space to focus on the healing process of each individual client.

I enjoy working with individuals from all backgrounds. I always learn more about others as well as myself from each client I meet which I value as an amazing opportunity. I've never met a client who didn't cause change and personal growth in myself after meeting them. I have experience working with LGBT+ persons, college-aged students, substance abuse/addiction clients, and individuals with co-occurring mental health disorders, such as anxiety and depression. I use a Person-Centered approach alongside mindfulness/meditation and cognitive-behavioral techniques to facilitate personal growth and healing.

It is one of life’s greatest honors to come along-side people who are seeking personal growth, adjusting to life changes, or working through life’s difficulties. My desire is to join others and create a trusting, safe, and understanding space to help them achieve their vision. I integrate a person-centered perspective with Cognitive Behavioral and Choice Theory in our work. Our work together may take many steps. Just stepping out to someone may be a first step in addressing life’s concerns. Another step may be moving into willingness then to action. Other steps may include self discovery, or celebrating or adjusting to life changes.

I believe therapy is a place of non-judgment that allows you to express your thoughts, emotions, and the secrets we only tell ourselves. I believe that each person is an individual and their world is unique. I approach therapy with my clients by helping to explore the world as they see it and act as a guide to help them become more self-empowered. My goal with every client is to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
