Thomas Dotson, LPC

License:
Licensed Professional Counselor
Location(s):
Hi! My name is Thomas Dotson. I am a licensed professional counselor dedicated to helping individuals heal, grow, and regain control of their lives. Through a compassionate and evidence-based approach, I integrate Humanistic and Behavioral therapies to support clients on their journey toward resilience and well-being. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, and individuals struggling with addictive behaviors.
Using techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I help clients identify and reframe negative thought patterns. I also incorporate mindfulness practices to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation, along with a trauma- informed approach to ensure a safe, supportive therapeutic environment. It is my goal and privilege to empower clients to navigate their challenges and achieve lasting personal growth.
