Philip Crouse MS, LMHC, NCC

I specialize in trauma therapy, helping clients process painful experiences and break free from cycles of fear, shame, and self-blame. With a background in community mental health, crisis intervention, and correctional settings, I’ve supported individuals facing complex trauma in some of the most challenging environments. I use trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and attachment-based therapy to promote healing, resilience, and long-term recovery.

I specialize in DBT to help clients manage intense emotions, impulsivity, and unhealthy patterns. My background in crisis and correctional settings has given me expertise in teaching DBT’s core skills—mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness—so clients can build stability and healthier relationships.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), helping clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, and self-doubt. With experience in community mental health, crisis intervention, and correctional settings, I use CBT to teach practical coping skills and promote lasting change. My approach is collaborative and goal-focused, empowering clients to build healthier beliefs, behaviors, and confidence.

I specialize in treating depression by helping clients break free from cycles of hopelessness, fatigue, and negative self-talk. Drawing on CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed approaches, I work collaboratively to identify thought patterns that fuel low mood, build healthier coping strategies, and restore a sense of purpose. My experience across community mental health and crisis settings allows me to support clients with both everyday struggles and complex, long-standing depression.

I specialize in treating anxiety, helping clients manage constant worry, racing thoughts, and physical tension that interfere with daily life. Using CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based strategies, I teach practical skills to challenge anxious thinking, regulate emotions, and find calm. My background in community mental health and crisis intervention allows me to support clients with both generalized anxiety and more complex conditions, creating a safe space to build confidence and resilience.

I specialize in addiction treatment, supporting clients who feel trapped in cycles of substance use and the guilt, shame, or isolation that often follows. With experience in community mental health, crisis work, and correctional settings, I understand the complexity of recovery. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing to build coping skills, strengthen resilience, and support lasting change, whether clients are seeking harm reduction or complete sobriety.
