Hello, I’m Thomas B Denton.

As I got kicked out of my 7th grade public school because of behavioral problems I felt alone, like no one was listening, and that I had nothing to look forward to. I was in three different school within two years and did not have any direction. I landed in a military boarding school for high school and is where I started taking my own therapy process seriously. I was in therapy on and off for as long as I can remember, but when I had no other options is when therapy really clicked for me, and it truly saved my life. Being in a much different place now emotionally, educationally, and mentally has helped me understand the feelings of difficult times.
In therapy is where I found new tools to manage my emotions, manage relationships, and to value myself. I had the same therapist for about five years, and it was the best decision I ever made for myself! My goals in therapy have change many times over the years but often connects to previous experiences and learning to cope with difficult emotions and reactions.
What I value in my life now is time with my family/friends, being in nature, and taking care of myself. Taking care of my mind. As well as being present with myself and the wonderful people that I get to work with daily. Taking a strength based and humanistic approach helps me be empathetic to peoples lived experiences. Everyone is the expert on themselves, and I like to stay curious about people because there is always more to learn.
