4worldlovers: Lighthouse Human Services & Consulting has been officially approved to offer counseling and psychological services in Bangkok, Thailand.

Established in 2012 by American Psychotherapist Eric Mason, Lighthouse Human Services & Consulting has come to play an important role in providing counseling, psychotherapy, life coaching, addiction treatment, and psychological services, such as ADHD assessments and diagnostic/psychological testing, both to expats and Thais in Bangkok, Thailand.

More often than not, people who come to counseling or psychotherapy don’t actually have a disorder or mental illness, but rather are just experiencing a bit of a “bump in the road” or somewhat of a minor life difficulty and need someone with whom to talk. In these cases, counseling and/or life coaching can be very helpful even just a few sessions.

Although we provide counseling to people who range from six to sixty and beyond, we tend to see many teens and young adults in our practice. Eric has many years of experience working with teens and young adults, which has allowed him to develop effective techniques specific to this age group.

Eric Mason is an American counselor licensed in the U.S

When picking a counselor, psychologist, or psychotherapist it’s important to evaluate a number factors.

Most importantly, is the psychotherapist qualified? In most Western countries, in order to qualify as a psychotherapist, one must have an advanced degree and be licensed by an official licensure board.

In Bangkok, you will find a wide array of qualifications. Some psychotherapist are very qualified, while some are very under qualified. In my years in Bangkok, I have even come across various psychotherapists who actually claim fraudulent credentials. A psychotherapist’s credentials should be easily verifiable.

Most licensure bodies have websites that will allow you to quickly verify a psychotherapist’s credentials online. Before choosing a psychotherapist, I recommend that you ask for a link to such websites.

If a psychotherapist who does not willingly offer you up such verification methods, I would consider that a red flag.

4worldlovers: At Bangkok Counseling we understand that from time to time people need help dealing with emotional issues or personal problems. Many choose to talk to professional mental health care providers because they have received specialized training and understand how to deal with emotional issues and provide the proper guidance to get back to a normal lifestyle. Bangkok counseling provides focused counseling and therapy directed at the specific issues a person may have. For an expatriate living in Bangkok far from the place they first called home, finding professional help that can relate to Asian and non-Asian cultures can be difficult. Bangkok Counseling looks to fill that need.

Bangkok Counseling is an approved service provider by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

With 30+ years of experience Bangkok Counseling provides both counseling and therapy for a wide variety of issues including;
