About me

I am a clinical psychologist with 44 years of experience in psychotherapy. My experience with teenagers is extensive. I developed the psychological program for Texas Rehabilitation Commission's first program for adolescents. I have worked as a consulting school psychologist for over 30 years, during which most of the time was spent within intermediate and senior high schools. My private practice population is composed of one-third adolescents.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Philip Townsend. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.

An excellent therapist

Dr. Townsend is great. He has a gentle caring way of addressing both my wife and I. He does a great job noticing strengths and reminding us of our successes. He always remembers what we have talked about in previous sessions to help us grow together.

Dr. Townsend is an astute clinician who knows how to get to the root of issues, remain fair and balanced in his approach so that both partners come out the session feeling heard and with a greater understanding of the relationship dynamics. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Townsend has been absolutely a pleasure to speak with! He is kind, caring, and listens to all attending party’s without bias. I strongly recommend him if you are looking for someone who can help you in whatever your struggle may be.
