Description

Specialties

I offer a proactive approach to marriage and couples counseling; help with rebuilding trust after an emotional affair or an infidelity: effective counseling for a porn addiction or sex addiction, as well as skills to improve anger management.

History

Established in 1997.

I chose to specialize in couples and marriage counseling because I believed that this was the area where I could have the most impact as a therapist. Not only does the health of each family figure largely in the health and success of its children, but I believe that our society also derives its strength and integrity from that of the family. In this work, the issues of infidelity, anger and addiction to pornography and sex came up so frequently that years ago I decided to add these important areas of focus to my therapy practice. This choice has served to increase the rewards of my work and my ability to make a difference in the community.

Meet the Business Owner

Dan B.

Business Owner

After a number of years in education, I returned to school and received a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from Lewis and Clark College in 1997 at the age of 42.

Later that year, I opened my private practice. At the same time, I was hired as a psychiatric case-​manager at Columbia River Mental Health in Vancouver. In that clinical setting, I helped adult clients with addictions and/​or chronic mental illness for the next two years.

In 1999, I turned my full attention to private practice.

Now 57 years old, I live with my wife of 17 years and my two children, ages 10 and 12.
