About Dr. Douglas Treese

I received a PhD in Counseling Psychology in 1988. My clinical experience has included work in psychiatric hospitals, managed care agencies and private practice. I see adults individually and in marriage/relationship counseling. My clients have, in addition to other problems, presented with depression, anxiety, interpersonal issues, stress, mid and later life adjustment, grief, life plan development, and self esteem.
I believe counseling happens best on a level playing field. The participants share ideas and discover solutions. There is cooperation, synergy and mutuality of purpose. We begin by mapping what is causing your problem, or areas you want to enhance in your life. Next, we look at psychological and behavioral change. What changes are indicated and how are they best achieved. Finally, we look at how to establish and maintain change .
If you would like us to talk, please proceed with an appointment. I look forward to hearing from you. I check messages in the morning and evening. I will respond within 24 hours. Thanks…

“He's very professional and kind, my only complaint is that sometimes messaging him is tricky (sometimes he responds in the afternoon, sometimes the morning, sometimes the following day, which happens very rarely). Other than that, I really like him.”

“Love how understanding he is and always has educated answer for everything it seems, definitely my best time of the week when I get to talk to him”

“Our first session with Dr. Treese was great. He listened and provided us with some tools to start working on right away.”

“Dr. Treese is a compassionate, caring, man who listens and provides expert, and valuable opinions. He provides quick and caring responses and also provides life experiences that are relatable. I feel very honoured to have been able to work with him.”

“He is very wise and will listen without judgement.”

“He is exactly the person I expected based off of my Input. He’s wise and reads better the lines and can help you find a lens to view that I couldn’t on my own.”

“Dr. Treese has been so insightful about the progress I want to make in my life. He provides sound guidance and support while I make my transitions (divorce, single parenthood, spiritual growth, etc.). He is the most helpful and I find myself growing stronger within myself everyday.”

“Dr. Treese has been amazing. I've always been skeptical of therapy, but his demeanor and methods put me at ease immediately. He is easy to talk to and knows how to get to the root of issues. Highly recommend!”

“Dr. Treese has a lot of compassion and is practical in his approach. He says what I have needed to support my growth. I appreciate him. He’s helped me get through getting a new job, getting out of the wrong relationship and working on finding my own direction in life.”

“Dr. Treese creates a safe and supportive environment where I feel genuinely heard and understood. His ability to ask insightful questions, offer meaningful perspective, and guide me through personal challenges has significantly contributed to my mental and emotional growth. I deeply appreciate his thoughtful insights, professionalism, and calm presence. His experience and wisdom are evident in every session. I’m truly grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking clarity, balance, or healing.”

“My first couple of sessions I came in looking for specific answers. He didn’t give them to me. Instead he recommended articles and other pieces of content that gave me an overview of the concept I was trying to learn. This helped my learning, implementation and growth immensely. I couldn’t recommend a better Dr. to have great conversations with while also being able to address difficult chapters of life with valuable insights.”

“He makes me calm.”

“Dr Treese is the best! He always helps me to stay focused. He truly cares about helping his clients. Thank you, Dr Treese!”

“Dr. Treese was a great help in setting me on a better path mentally. I really appreciated how honest and straight forward he was with his views and guidance. I definitely learned alot from our sessions on how to manage my issues. Im very thankful for that”

“Very relaxed and easy to open up to. Knowledgeable and shares personal experiences to relate to.”
