As a man, are you struggling?

Maybe you know what you're struggling with—identity, broken dreams, addiction, alcohol or drugs, porn, or being impulsive.

Maybe you don’t know—you just know that you're unhappy and angry—at God, life, your spouse, family, or your father.

I understand. I’ve cycled through a lot of this over my life: a history of child abuse, a disconnected father, but a loving mother. I've struggled with identity issues, anger—anger at God, the church, and life.

My name is Terry Palmer, and I am dedicated to helping individuals overcome challenges like addictions, destructive habits, distorted thinking, trauma, and family or marital struggles. I specialize in connecting clients with resources and building support networks to help them achieve their goals and dreams. Passionate about unlocking inner strength, talents, and motivation, I strive to inspire personal and professional growth for men, male adolescents, and men of all ages—guiding them toward success and positive change.

I have over 30 years of experience in ministry, including 20 years as a pastor counseling families and couples, and for the last 10 years, as a mental health and addictions counselor.

My counseling approach centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT). As a person-centered therapist, I believe you are the expert on your life, and together we can find solutions that foster growth and mental health. I also incorporate Brief Solution-Focused Therapy (BSFT).

If you're grappling with destructive or irrational thoughts or questioning your identity and the reasons behind who you are, I would be honored to talk with you. If you've experienced pain caused by others—whether within or outside the “church”—I would be privileged to hear your story and provide a compassionate space for you to share.

What are you waiting for?
Just reach out. Maybe all you need is someone to listen—someone to talk to.
I promise to show you unconditional positive regard and to see the best in you.
