About Rhett
License #: #201264/TX | #0003051/COI am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (Texas and Colorado) and a Board Certified Executive Coach. I completed a Bachelor of Science degree at Grand Canyon University , a Master of Divinity and Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy at Fuller Theological Seminary. I also completed a Certification in Executive Coaching at SMU ('19). I have been an active member of the Restoration Therapy community founded by Dr. Terry Hargrave, since 2010. I was trained in the model during my time on staff doing marriage intensives at The Hideaway Experience, and trained under and was certified by Dr. Hargrave in Level 1 and Level II. I serve an active leadership role in the community and helped co-create the Turning from Anxiety intensive. I am the author of The Anxious Christian: Can God Use Your Anxiety for Good? and What It Means to be a Man: God's Design for Us in a World Full of Extremes. I currently write at An Integrated Life on Substack. I am also currently co-hosting the RT Dialogue podcast and RT Dialogue on Substack. In my free time I love to read a lot of books and spend time with my family outdoors, especially running long distances on the trails.
My Therapeutic Approach
I am a huge believer that great therapeutic work is a combination of helping someone not just gain insight, but lay out a pathway to practice that insight. I believe that insight alone is not enough to transform us, but that we have to continue put into practice what we are learning. I am very active in session, helping people experientially work through and practice things in session with me, as well as helping them and encouraging them to experiment and practice outside of session. I work predominantly out of the Restoration Therapy model as that has been the most beneficial therapeutic model personally, and professionally. But I am also trained and experienced in a lot of other models, mostly in family systems, as I was trained as marriage and family therapist. And I am trained and certified in a lot of other helpful techniques, such as EMDR. I also believe in helping people integrate spiritual and faith components and practices into their work where it is desired and applicable. My theological training and practice has helped me with expertise in integrating the best of psychological and theological theories and practices.
Who I Help Best
I spend a lot of time working with adults (18+) who are struggling with anxiety, especially as they navigate transitions in life. This is perhaps one of the main reasons people choose to come work with me. I also work with a lot of couples and individuals who are navigating relationship issues. Anxiety and relationships may be the two biggest reasons people choose to work with me. Also, my experience in ministry (I used to be a college pastor in Los Angeles) and integrative work is one of the reasons why a lot of people in ministry work with me, or why individuals navigating faith and spiritual issues, seek out my help.
What a First Session Is Like
Typically a first session is an opportunity for you to meet me in person and experience what it is like to work with me. In that first session you can determine if I am a good fit for the work you are wanting to accomplish. I spend a lot of time listening to what has brought you into therapy, and I am already beginning to formulate a pathway moving forward. By the time you leave that first session we will have discussed next steps and I will have given you some "homework" to start working on so that you can leave session with some momentum towards change.
