Anthony P. BlackburnCounselor, U.S. Air Force Veteran, and Practice Owner
I was born in Dallas, raised in the Sherman–Denison area, and returned home with my wife after retiring from the U.S. Air Force. During my military career, I served in administrative, operational, law-enforcement, and training roles where helping people solve difficult problems was central to my work.
That experience led me to establish Texoma Counseling Associates: a practice focused on practical, respectful counseling for adults and older adolescents. I have a particular interest in helping veterans, first responders, and people experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, PTSD, addiction, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions.
My approach is direct, down-to-earth, and nonjudgmental. Counseling is tailored to your circumstances, values, and goals. Christian counseling, Biblical principles, and prayer are available when requested, but faith-based counseling is always optional. People of every background, faith tradition, or no religious affiliation are welcome.
Credentials and Education
• Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
• Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC)
• Master of Social Work — New Mexico Highlands University
• Master of Business Administration, Human Resources — New Mexico Highlands University
• Master of Alternative Dispute Resolution — Southern Methodist University
• Retired U.S. Air Force veteran
If you are considering counseling, taking the first step can feel difficult. Call or text to ask questions, discuss availability, or determine whether my services may be a good fit. Most calls and texts are returned within a few hours between client appointments.
