Hope Counseling About the therapist Walter Brickhouse

About Walter

Hi, I am Walter and I am excited about where I am in life now.  It has not always been an easy journey; however, it is not where you have been, it is where you are going.  I decided that I did not want to venture this journey without bringing others along.  That is one of the reasons I became an educator and counselor.  Coming from a family of eight siblings and two parents, we were always taught to reach back and help others.  Having two adult daughters and five granddaughters encourages me to help others perform effectively in their personal and professional lives.
