Thomas McMinn, LPC

Thomas McMinn brings a practical, hopeful approach to therapy and works collaboratively to meet goals defined by each client. His own life experiences have given him perspective on the everyday struggles people face, and he draws on that insight when supporting others. Born in 1966, he identifies with Generation X and spent his early years in Ohio before his family relocated to South Carolina as he entered high school. Athletics featured prominently in his life, and initial career interests included recreation management until a single college course in Family Therapy redirected his professional path toward psychotherapy.

That shift led him into graduate training and licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - and eventually to Texas for further education and clinical development. He notes that his initial training was shaped by a seminary that his grandfather had attended in the early 1920s, and in 1989 he married and moved to Texas to pursue his counseling career. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is his primary modality, with an emphasis on how thoughts influence feelings and how those feelings in turn shape behaviors. He prioritizes building a strong therapeutic alliance, offering information and encouragement as part of a collaborative process aimed at creating lasting change.
