James F. Whittenberg, PhD, LPC-S, LCDC, NCC, ACS, BC-TMH, CSC
I have been an educator and school counselor for over 30 years. Since 2010, I have also served as a licensed professional counselor and board-approved supervisor. I served as an assistant professor of counseling at UTB/TSC and an associate professor of counseling at UTRGV.
I have lectured throughout Texas on many counseling topics. Strands of interest include counselor ethics, conflict resolution, crisis intervention, stress management, children of alcoholics, inhalant abuse, substance dependency, grief & bereavement, child abuse & neglect, depression & mania, obsessions & compulsions, bullying, anxiety & phobias, counseling stepfamilies, oppositional & conduct issues, using superheroes as counseling metaphors, and custodial grandparenting.
I received a B.S. in Education at Tennessee Tech University, a M.Ed. in Counseling and Guidance at the University of Texas at Brownsville, and a Ph.D. in Counseling Studies at Capella University.
I have been married to my lovely wife, Jessica, for 19 years and we have an adolescent son, Victor.
Some people fear therapy as intimidating. You can be assured that it is just a conversation, and I want to hear your story. You have the strength and resources to achieve any goals that you set in life, with just a little guidance. You can enjoy the process of therapy and learn to love yourself at a deeper level. Calling a therapist can create a little bit of anxiety, but few therapists are as down-to-earth as me. Just take a slow, deep breath and give me a call.
