Demetrius Walton

Demetrius Walton combines a long record of service with focused clinical training to support individuals, couples, and families across a range of challenges. He brings nine years of therapeutic practice together with a 26-year military career in the U.S. Army and experience serving as a Federal Prison Chaplain, creating a background shaped by resilience, leadership, and pastoral care.

He works primarily as a marriage and family therapist and draws on several evidence-based approaches. Walton emphasizes solution-focused work to help clients identify strengths and practical steps toward change, and he uses emotion-focused methods to help couples and families understand and reorganize emotional patterns that affect relationships. For clients impacted by traumatic memories or anxiety-related symptoms, he integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Cognitive-behavioral strategies also feature in his practice to assist clients in recognizing and reshaping thoughts and behaviors that influence mood and functioning.

Walton addresses a wide range of concerns, including relationship issues, self-esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger management, depression, and coaching. He brings an empathetic, patient, and person-centered stance to sessions, fostering collaborative relationships that support growth and healing.

Education and faith perspectives are part of his background. He earned a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Texas A&M University–Central Texas and a Doctor of Ministry from Knox Theological Seminary. He is a Texas-licensed marriage and family therapist and practices from a Christ-centered, pastoral-informed framework when clients wish to include their spiritual beliefs in therapy.
