My goal for each individual I work with is that we improve the balance they have in their lives. This often occurs by shifting perspectives within ourselves and of the world around. Participating in consistent evaluation with each other helps maintain this balance over time.

Grief is an entirely normal, involuntary, and healthy response to loss. It is also a profound, confusing, even shattering experience in the very best of circumstances. Grieving in today’s world, however, is made even more complicated by, among other things, the widespread presence of grief illiteracy. Our closest friends and family might not know how to respond to our experiences of loss, and we might not even know how to respond to ourselves. As a result, the inherent sense of isolation often accompanying bereavement can be magnified to absurd proportions. Grief, today, easily and often ushers in an extreme sense of aloneness.

You are highly motivated and resilient but find yourself trapped in a cycle of overthinking, self-criticism, or placing the needs of others above your own. Unable to shake the feeling that something is inherently wrong with you or that certain parts of you are unacceptable, you try to numb and hide. Today, you find yourself unable to cope with even the small things. Waking up tired, anxious throughout the day, lying awake at night. Endless workaholism, incessantly consuming self-help content, even engaging in unhealthy but addictive behaviors and relationships. You are seeking healing that is personal, deep, and lasting.

Progress is determined by the ability to step, not the actual step. The ability to step is often impeded by our view of self, based on our past experiences and our perceptions of the future. The organization of thoughts from both our past and about our future allow us to be present to have the ability to step into our intended destiny. Those moments of darkness in our lives that lend to our self-image and handicap our opportunity to be hopeful about tomorrow can be reorganized so that they may become fuel for our present self.

Appreciated, valued, connected, understood, respected and seen. These are all things we desire from others and ourselves. For many, along the road of life’s journey, these deeply desired needs get misplaced, fade or seem to disappear. In that vacuum, whispering questions of how and why often appear. So begins the quiet, desperate work of reestablishing these needs. Self reliance on these matters often produces mixed results. As doubt and weariness grow, hope and joy shrink. This, my friend, is where the journey of reclaiming yourself begins. Rest assured you aren’t alone, I see you standing at this cross road.

I feel that it is vitally important to increase the awareness of our thoughts. Moreover, to question our thoughts. Most of our thoughts are inaccurate, and when believed, can cause a great deal of unnecessary unhappiness. Our journey to fully understanding our purpose and value in life requires a commitment to building patience, acceptance and self-awareness, to include the awareness of our thoughts.

For over 25 years, I've been helping individuals, couples, and families struggling with a range of problems including, but not limited to: anxiety, depression, ADD, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, marital and family distress, infidelity, and sexual addictions. Working as a therapist, researcher, and professor in medical settings throughout my career (University of Texas Medical Branch, University of Nebraska Medical Center) has informed my work with individuals and families to provide whole-personal care, integrating mind, body, and spirit.

BE's specialties, training, and certifications include: Trainer for Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior, Psychologist in Hospice Care, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Clinical Team, Depression Treatment Group, Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression, Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy.
Dr. BE connects well with people who you might not traditionally associate with counseling services to guide them through their struggles and life challenges. That drive to "have it all" that so many professionals demonstrate can also make it hard to ask for help at times when it's needed most. With both a unique "no BS" attitude and a demeanor that's connectable, Dr. BE has become a valuable asset for clients who typically didn't expect to find therapy beneficial.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
