Travis is an awesome counselor. He has helped my kiddo in more ways than I can put into words. He cares very much about each and every one of his clients. He's not like most counselors who just don't seem all into it. He also very family oriented as well. Great guy and great counselor for all ages. I will always recommend him to others.

We highly recommend Travis Strange for counseling. He has a real gift. He is the first counselor that our son really clicked with and our son looks forward to sessions every week, for almost a year now. Travis has been a blessing of consistent support and encouragement for our son and us during and after some difficult times.

In the challenging aftermath of my husband's passing in 2020, Travis has been an invaluable support for my family. His dedication and natural talent in helping my kids cope with trauma have been truly exceptional. As someone on the path to becoming a counselor, I deeply admire Travis's expertise and compassion in his work with these children. We are immensely grateful for his unwavering support.

I don’t even know where to begin, I’ve known Travis since I was a young teenager. I was of course nervous in the beginning but once I realized the kind of person he was I came around. I’ve seen lots of doctors and therapist and out of all of them Travis is hands down the best. He’s more than a therapist working a job. He is like family to me and I look up to him as a role model, and father figure. He truly listens and never once judges you for anything. He knows how to make you laugh when you need it , and also a comfy couch chair to cry on when you need that too. Doesn’t matter how old you are he’s the perfect match for you. So what’re you waiting for ? Schedule and appointment to meet the best therapist you’ll ever have ! 🙂❤️
