About Jeff ...

  

  

Jeff has been providing therapy for boys and men since 1999. He is licensed in Missouri, Kansas, and Alaska and specializes in men’s issues, working with males age 12 and up including teenagers, young adults, active duty military and veterans. His approach is person-centered and combines CBT, CPT, EMDR, ERP, Mindfulness, and other techniques designed to enhance empowerment and a sense of self-worth. His areas of treatment expertise include PTSD, post-combat trauma, OCD, depression, anger and anxiety. In addition to his skills as a clinician, Jeff has been a foster parent, mentor, and instructor, and has published articles on communication, family dynamics and diversity. He has provided training for parents and group therapy for teens with the goal of building trust, respect, and self-esteem.


Jeff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the States of Missouri, Texas, and Alaska, and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in the State of Kansas. He is a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and is trained to provide EMDR in addition to Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma.


Prior to obtaining his counseling credentials, Jeff worked in the architecture field for ten years. He continues to think of himself as an “architectural therapist,” helping clients to find new perspectives and creative solutions for “remodeling” their lives.

Treatment Techniques

Treatment Techniques

Therapy can be challenging, and at times, difficult or even painful. While there are no guarantees in therapy, when a genuine investment is made in the process, it can be a rewarding and enriching experience through which you can gain strength, insight, and new ways to approach problems and concerns. 


Therapy works best when it is a creative collaboration between you and your therapist. Jeff's practice incorporates a variety of techniques and philosophies, the foundation of all them, however, is that progress begins with mutual trust, respect, and unconditional positive regard. 

Treatment Techniques

Treatment Techniques

Treatment Techniques

  1. Congitive-Behavioral (CBT) - Jeff has been practicing congitive-behavioral techniques for twenty years. CBT is based on the premise that while life sometimes hands us things we cannot choose or control, we have the ability to decide how we respond to them.
  2. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) - a highly effective treatment protocol specifically designed to treat Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. 
  3. EMDR - Jeff is fully trained to provide EMDR treatment. EMDR has been determined to be highly effective in the treatment of trauma and anxiety. 
  4. Kinetic and Activity-Oriented - Jeff often uses an activity during therapy, chosen based on the needs and interests of the client. This approach has been particularly effective when working with young men and boys. 
  5. ERP - Exposure and Response Prevention for Anxiety and OCD.
