Education, Training, and Credentials
Rick and Kathy have both earned Masters of Divinity (Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary) and Masters of Theology degrees (New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary) as well as Doctorates in Psychology and Counseling (New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary). Both are members of the Texas Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (TAMFT), and are Clinical Members of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT). Both are Certified Anger Resolution Therapists (CART) and have attended many other trainings in various modalities of therapy over their years of experience.
Anger Resolution Therapy
Kathy and Rick are both Certified Anger Resolution Therapists. They are specially trained and prepared to help you resolve your problems with anger, or to deal with an angry, raging spouse. Rick or Kathy either one can show you how to stop your anger now so that you can avoid divorce, keep your job, and allow you (and those around you) to enjoy your life.
Couple Therapy
Couples are supposed to be emotionally connected with a trusting, secure, affectionate bond. When one reaches out for attention, care, or support and the other does not respond, or when one betrays the trust of the relationship, an attachment injury results. Often, the injured party covers their deeper emotions of hurt, fear, or shame and shows their anger through defensiveness or blaming. Now the first will--in response--criticize,defend, attack, blame, or withdraw. But your partner is not the enemy!
The real enemy is the negative cycle of interaction that has locked you into this pattern of hurtful behaviors going on and on without resolution! One's behavior invokes the same old annoying response from the other, which inturn solicits another starting point from the first. Kathy or Rick, either one, can help you identify those negative patterns, change them, and recover your emotional closeness, intimacy, and trust. Yes, you really can do that.
Individual Therapy
Both Rick and Kathy are trained and experienced in cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused techniques, behavioral therapy, child-centered play therapy, and other modalities and techniques. Both have extensive experience helping individuals overcome anxiety, depression, grief, and other individual emotional and psychological problems.
Distinctly Christian
The Owens both have extensive theological training, have been active in Chrisitian ministry for over 25 years, and continue to serve their local church. Kathy is an active committee member, Rick is an active deacon, and together they teach a Sunday School class full of absolutely terrific people.
