Dr. Tommy helps me back in shape, in just one meaningful conversation I learned myself well and get back in shape faster. It is true that knowing yourself is the first step to back in shape. Without guidance from Dr. Tommy, I'm not here and can't do and execute great things. Again, highly recommended!

- Psychologist
I am an Educational Psychologist licensed in Texas with over 40 years of experience working as an executive coach, trainer, writer, publisher, and group facilitator. I have worked with individual and organizational clients with a wide range of concerns including leadership, personal relationships, work relationships, life purpose, self-understanding, and culture transformation. Visit my personal website at www.DrTommyThomas.com to learn more about my experience and me.
I am a deep listener so that I can understand you. I am also very accepting of whoever you are and whatever your life situation and problems entail.. I believe in treating anyone with patience, respect, and compassion, and I believe in treating you as a unique individual. My approach combines an understanding of people and relationships through strengths for which I have been a primary developer since 1982. I have taught thousands of people to use Opposite Strengths in their lives.
Self-knowledge and self-acceptance are the first steps in living a healthy life. I am here to help you do that and then tackle whatever problems you are experiencing in life using your strengths and your ability to flex to meet the needs of various life situations.
I believe in providing you with the resources you can use without me so that very quickly you will be on your own again.
I look forward to getting to know you and assist you in solving whatever life challenges you are facing!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Dr T is an amazing listener and quickly became my friend.
Dr Tommy is Very professional and attentive. He doesn’t sugar cost things and had a clear approach to therapy.
Dr. Thomas is an amazing coach. He’s motivating, he listens and offers useful advice. He has various areas of expertise as well so that multiple issues can be addressed. After every session with him I feel better. He makes you feel heard and is very easy to talk too. 10/10 recommend!
This was the first time I ever chose to go with a male therapist. I always felt like they wouldn’t understand what I was feeling or going through but boy was I wrong. Dr Tommy has more compassion and empathy than some female therapists. And he’s very good about circling back to the point. He sees therapy as education not a talk session and I like that.
He’s an excellent therapist and a friend. He’s calm and kind and he lights up my day.
