Tom has been the Administrator and/or Clinical Supervisor at three non profit, state certified treatment facilities. He has served as both clinical consultant and contract therapist for the Washington State Division of Children & Family Services (DCFS), and has been on the consulting staff at three community hospitals. Some of his previous professional titles include Intensive Outpatient Treatment Coordinator, Counselor Intern Training Supervisor, TASC Felony Casemanager, Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) Facilitator, Lead Counselor in a county correctional facility, and County Designated CD Specialist for Involuntary Commitment. Tom enjoyed a brief career as a musician and artist in the late 1960s and early 1970s, before becoming an ordained minister. During what he now affectionately calls his "religion period", Tom provided pastoral counseling for a full spectrum of spiritual and secular issues. Upon leaving the ministry, he studied transpersonal psychology, death and dying, meditation, hospice care, domestic violence, family systems, mental health, substance abuse, and chemical dependency. Tom holds a Certificate in Alcohol and Drug Studies, a Certificate in Domestic Violence Training, and was board certified as a "CCDC-II" Chemical Dependency Counselor for many years. In 1996, Tom launched theCounselors.com to provide online counseling for consumers and "Virtual Office" websites for his professional colleagues. During the following years, he maintained a private practice, counseled teenagers in foster care, worked with hospice patients, designed websites, and taught meditation. Tom is now retired and no longer provides any direct client services. He plays guitar, strolls through the forest and watches woodland critters scamper around his remote lakeside cabin... |
