Thomas Slough has provided counseling in Texas for more than four decades, bringing 42 years of hands-on experience to his work. He began his career at MHMR, developing expertise in individual and family therapy before transitioning to private practice where he focused on abuse and trauma, depression, anxiety, anger management and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Throughout his career he has evaluated and treated more than 100 Vietnam veterans and 10 Desert Storm veterans for PTSD, and has worked with both adult and child victims of physical, sexual and emotional abuse. He also serves the local public school system, offering counseling to students identified with an Emotional Disability, Autism and Other Health Impairment (OHI).

His approach to counseling emphasizes trust and clear communication, as he believes a strong therapeutic relationship is essential for effective work. He generally employs a cognitive-behavioral framework while acknowledging that processing emotional material is sometimes necessary for clients to move forward. He has observed that people make the most progress when they feel someone is “in their corner.”

Thomas holds a Texas Licensed Psychological Associate credential (TX LPA 12487). Married for 40 years and part of a blended family, with a Mexican-American spouse, he brings multicultural awareness to his practice and understands the significant challenges parents face today as both a parent and a grandparent.
