About Douglas Strange

I have 12 years experience in Mental Health counseling, working with clients aged from early teens to the elderly. I have four years military experience and 26 years experience in sales and management where I developed most of my people skills. I have 30 years personal experience with addiction and recovery and involvement in Alcoholics Anonymous. I am in my second marriage and have three sons with 15 grandchildren.
I have a broad range of life experience, resilience, and have a constructive response even in adverse circumstances. My application of psychological principles is always guided by life experience and belief in the inner strength of clients to make the changes they desire.
My style of counseling is built upon a foundation of the healing qualities of grace, mercy, respect, and non-judgment.
