Dr. Troy Pharis

Hi, my name is Dr. Troy Pharis, and I have been a licensed professional counselor for over 10 years. I understand that for many, starting work with a therapist can seem daunting. My hope is to make the process easy and productive. My clinical focus over the last few years has been on active-duty military/veterans, first responders, and their families. Being part of that community myself has helped me assist those who serve or may still have difficulties from their time in uniform.

I am very laid back and informal. I try to keep things fun and interesting while also actively moving toward your personal goals. I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as my primary treatment model. I have found this helps with many different concerns. I also use EMDR in sessions to help process past traumatic events.

ACT is a very action-oriented style of therapy. We will identify a viable goal and help you move toward a life that honors what you value. Each session, we will work on skills to address life's challenges in a relatable way.
