From Dr. Dowdy

"I am a former police officer, many years ago, and a retired military officer. As a police officer I saw myself talking, which I later viewed as ministering, to persons I met; particularly young African American males. I was trying to reach these young men and others I came across hoping that they would change their lives and I could stop encountering them in an official capacity.

 

After entering ministry I had an opportunity to spend more time with people and couples and to help families raise healthy and resilient children. After serving as a pastoral minister for over twenty years, I saw psychotherapy as a natural extension to helping people in a more in-depth way.

 

My mission is to help people, even those at rock bottom, change their lives for the better."
