People come to therapy for many reasons. Sometimes this is a specific event, sometimes a slow accumulation of things that no longer feel workable, and sometimes a sense that something important has shifted and they’re not sure how to find their footing again. Whatever brings someone in, Trey’s approach begins in the same place: genuine curiosity about who this person is and what their life actually requires.
Trey is a licensed clinical psychologist, board-certified by the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP), with nearly 20 years of clinical experience across a broad range of settings and presentations. He has worked in the U.S. Army, correctional systems, hospice, university counseling centers, and inpatient/outpatient hospital contexts before establishing Quandary Peak Counseling, a background that means he has sat with people in some of the most difficult circumstances human beings encounter. That experience informs a clinical style that is direct without being cold, intellectually serious without losing sight of the person, and grounded in the belief that real change is possible even in longstanding or complex presentations.
He was primarily trained in an existential and humanistic framework; however, he additionally draws on psychodynamic, relational, and other evidence-based frameworks including CBT and ACT. In practice, this means the approach is shaped by what each individual client actually needs, not a fixed protocol applied uniformly.
