About Dr. Douglas Treese

I received a PhD in Counseling Psychology in 1988. My clinical experience has included work in psychiatric hospitals, managed care agencies and private practice. I see adults individually and in marriage/relationship counseling. My clients have, in addition to other problems, presented with depression, anxiety, interpersonal issues, stress, mid and later life adjustment, grief, life plan development, and self esteem. I believe counseling happens best on a level playing field. The participants share ideas and discover solutions. There is cooperation, synergy and mutuality of purpose. We begin by mapping what is causing your problem, or areas you want to enhance in your life. Next, we look at psychological and behavioral change. What changes are indicated and how are they best achieved. Finally, we look at how to establish and maintain change . If you would like us to talk, please proceed with an appointment. I look forward to hearing from you. I check messages in the morning and evening. I will respond within 24 hours. Thanks...

“best therapist i have ever had!!!”

“Dr Treese is always the best!”

“Dr. Treese has been a phenomenal help in my life. He gives me great perspective and support during my growth. I am beyond happy that we have been working together.”

“Dr. Treese has helped me process some crazy life decisions, he understands where I want to go with my therapy.”

“Dr. Treese made me feel comfortable from day one. He listens and gives great advice and gives me things to look up to take a deeper dive into some of the things I’m experiencing. I look forward to our meetings because I feel so much more confident and better afterwards. He’s very encouraging and keeps things positive”

“Dr. Treese is highly knowledgeable with many years of experience. He’s extremely empathetic and throughly listens to your concerns. I’ve been able to apply his suggestions and see or feel the results.”

“Dr. Treese is the best therapist i have ever had. He understands what i need, has this incredible ability to challenge my way of thinking in a gentle way, and he set me minor homework that was beneficial! One of my requirements when selecting my therapist was ‘must be able to laugh with them’ and we can!”

“Very professional, understanding, and wise.”

“Excellent listener”

“Dr. Treese is very easy to talk to and I appreciate his direct no bs approach to getting to the bottom of things. For how I am, he is the ideal therapist, highly knowledgeable, easy to understand, and very funny.”

“He's very professional and kind, my only complaint is that sometimes messaging him is tricky (sometimes he responds in the afternoon, sometimes the morning, sometimes the following day, which happens very rarely). Other than that, I really like him.”

“Love how understanding he is and always has educated answer for everything it seems, definitely my best time of the week when I get to talk to him”

“Our first session with Dr. Treese was great. He listened and provided us with some tools to start working on right away.”

“Dr. Treese is a compassionate, caring, man who listens and provides expert, and valuable opinions. He provides quick and caring responses and also provides life experiences that are relatable. I feel very honoured to have been able to work with him.”

“He is very wise and will listen without judgement.”
