My name is Nathan Driskell. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor – Intern operating in the Houston area. My Supervisor is Deborah Edmunds, located at H.O.P.E. Psychotherapy of Houston, PLLC. I graduated from Houston Baptist University’s Masters in Psychology program in May of 2009. I am currently licensed within the State of Texas, and am in good standing.

I was interested in Psychology when I was a teenager. When I was growing up I had numerous health problems, as I was born 2 months premature. For the first six years of my life I was often sick; so much so I visited the hospital usually 20 times a year. I became behind in school compared to other children, and found it difficult to relate to others.

It was many years before I began to do well in school. My health improved, allowing me to complete school normally. I was in pain much of my life, and understand how it is to live with pain and loss. I had major spinal re-constructive surgery when I was 16 to correct a curving spine. It was an extremely painful and dangerous procedure; however I recovered fully within a year. It was during this period I became interested in Psychology, as I wanted to learn how the mind worked so I could better understand myself and my life.

I enrolled into Houston Baptist University, majoring in Psychology and Computer Informations Systems Management. Once I graduated I decided I wanted my Masters Degree from HBU. In three years I graduated with an A average, allowing me to begin my adventure towards my own practice. I passed the National Counselors Exam in January of 2010, and became licensed within Texas as a Licensed Professional Counselor – Intern in May 2010. I currently provide therapy services out of H.O.P.E Psychotherapy of Houston, PLLC. I am also an Administrative Therapist at Cadwalder-Quitman Clinic in Houston, Texas.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor – Intern, I am required by law to be supervised by a professional in good standing with the state of Texas. This is a quality control measure to make sure my clients receive appropriate services while I am supervised. My supervisor is Debbie Edmunds LPC-S and is located at H.O.P.E. Psychotherapy of Houston, PLLC. If have any questions for Debbie Edmunds, you can visit her site, or contact her office number: 281-373-5200.
