Show Notes
In today's episode of The Practice of Therapy Podcast, I'm excited to introduce you to someone who made a big impact on me at the Wise Practice Conference—Derrick Boger. Derrick is a licensed clinical mental health counselor, military veteran, former firefighter, and the founder of Transformation Christian Counseling in Greensboro, North Carolina. His journey into the therapy world is rooted in a lifelong commitment to serving others, and you'll hear that passion come through in every part of our conversation.
In this episode, Derrick and I dive deep into what it really looks like to support men in therapy, why emotional safety is the key to communication, and how vulnerability becomes a powerful tool for healing. We also explore the unique challenges men face when opening up, the importance of trust in relationships, and how faith and emotional intelligence can guide meaningful transformation.
Whether you work with men, couples, or faith-based clients—or you simply want to listen in on a heartfelt conversation about connection and healing—I think you'll find Derrick's insights both inspiring and grounding. I'm thrilled to share this conversation with you.
