About Gary

My Story

Hi — I’m Gary, founder of Aletheia Counseling TX. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in helping men navigate relationship challenges, including pornography struggles, affairs, intimacy issues, and patterns of disconnection. My work centers on honesty, healing, and real change — without shame or judgment.

I believe that when men understand why they do what they do, they can finally break out of the cycles that keep them stuck. To support that, I draw from extensive training in several evidence-based and depth-oriented modalities, including:

• Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for relationship repair and emotional bonding

• Internal Family Systems (IFS) for understanding and healing internal conflicts

• Psychodynamic approaches for exploring deeper patterns and long-term growth

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for practical, structured change

My approach blends these frameworks into clear, relatable, and actionable guidance. I’m also the creator of the 5-Stage Problematic Behavior Recovery (PBR) Model, a framework that helps men understand where they are in the recovery process and what meaningful progress looks like — not perfection, but growth.

Clients often describe me as grounded, straightforward, and easy to talk to. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel supported, challenged when needed, and genuinely understood.

I offer telehealth sessions anywhere in Texas, making it easier for men with busy schedules, privacy concerns, or family commitments to access specialized support.

If you’re ready to stop living in crisis mode and start rebuilding trust, stability, and connection — either for yourself or in your relationship — I’m here to help.

During the pandemic, I was struggling. I was working from home and caring for a new baby. My self-care went out the window, I was experiencing burnout from my full-time 9-5 job, and I engaged in some not-so-healthy coping skills. After a difficult conversation with my wife, I decided that it was time for this therapist to find a therapist. My only regret is that I hadn’t reached out for help sooner. I know what it’s like to feel like you have nothing left to give, it wasn’t until professional help and some changes I made that I found out that I had so much more to give. I just needed to learn some better ways to navigate this thing called life.

Why Work With Me

We all struggle. Some more so than others, but we all struggle at times. It’s important to understand that struggle, where it comes from, and what you can do about it. That’s what I aim to do. I strive to help people understand themselves better, the impact trauma or a difficult childhood has, and how to grow. If you’re tired of struggling so much, give me a call and start your path toward happiness.
