Troy Bishop is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in individual, couples, and family therapy, and maintains a private practice in Trinity, Florida. As a veteran of the US Army and retired first responder I am aware and sensitive to the trauma and stressors that come with this path and the impact on the individual and his/her family. Within each of us are a set of core values that we wish to be known for. However, when the values we profess do not line up with our actions our lives can become unmanageable and hard. Does it seem like everything stays the same even though the people and the scenery have changed? American culture pushes the belief that we must pull ourselves up by the bootstraps and push through but let’s face it there are times when this just isn’t possible and we need the help of someone who has gone through this before. As a Clinical Mental Health Professional and certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I am able to use my empathic and intuitive nature to provide an environment that is safe, compassionate, and accepting. At times the journey can seem daunting and dark, allow me to carry a torch for you on your journey to wholeness.
