Triple E Therapy's core philosophy is to; Emineo - Stand out and step away from our negative thinking. Extollo - Rise up to become our best and most authentic selves. Eximo – Break Free of the preconceived notions shaped by the past and embrace the truth that only YOU have the power to define yourself. My approach to therapy is all about you. I take a client-centered stance, pulling from psychotherapy, Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a good dose of mindfulness to help boost self-awareness and strengthen your coping toolkit. Basically, I’m here to help you untangle what’s weighing you down and find what works for your life, not just a textbook. I offer a safe, affirming space for anyone seeking support, those in the LGBTQ+ community, people practicing ethical nonmonogamy (ENM), and folks in the BDSM/kink world. All are welcome! I’m not here to pathologize your identity or lifestyle, I’m here to support it! As a veteran myself, I’ve both served and worked with those who’ve worn the uniform, and I carry a deep respect for all who’ve served. Whether you're a fellow veteran, exploring identity, navigating relationships, or just trying to make it through this life we call adulting, I’m here to walk alongside you, no judgment, just support. About me Hi, I’m Gene! A Marine Corps veteran with 10 years of service and a lifetime of growing up in a military family. So, you could say I’ve had a front-row seat to transitions, change, and the occasional chaos that comes with both. That experience gave me a deep respect for resilience, adaptability, and the value of having a safe space to land when life gets messy. I earned my Bachelor's in Psychology and my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington. I am currently a Licensed Master Social Worker under the supervision of Joseph Remsik, LCSW-S, working toward clinical certification. My approach to therapy is warm, down-to-earth, maybe some pop culture references, and focused on what matters most to you. I believe healing happens best when we can show up as our full, unfiltered selves. Awkward moments and all. Whether you're managing stress, navigating a big life shift, general adulting, or trying to improve your relationships, I’m here to support you in taking real, meaningful steps toward a life that feels more like your own.
