My name is Nathan Driskell, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor operating in the State of Texas. I specialize in the treatment of Internet Addiction and High Functioning Autism. As a teenager, I became interested in Psychology due to numerous health problems, as I was born two months premature. For the first six years of my life, I was often sick, so much so that I visited the hospital usually 20 times a year. I was behind in school compared to other children and found it difficult to relate to others. Due to this, I had few friends and wanted to learn how to socialize better and understand 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 for much of my life, and I understand how it is to live with pain and loss. I had major spinal reconstructive surgery when I was 16 to correct a curving spine. It was an excruciating and dangerous procedure; however, I recovered fully within a year. During this period, I became interested in Psychology, as I wanted to learn how the mind worked to understand myself and my life better.
I went to college at Houston Baptist University, majoring in Psychology and Computer Information Systems Management. Once I graduated, I decided I wanted my Master’s Degree from HBU. In two years, I graduated with an A average, allowing me to begin my adventure toward my private practice. I passed the National Counselors Exam in January 2010 and am licensed in Texas as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I currently provide Teletherapy services for the State of Texas.
I work with children, adults, and couples. My primary specialties are Internet Addiction and Autism. However, I also have experience treating Depression, Anxiety Disorders, BiPolar Disorder, and Schizophrenia within a group setting.
