About Us
Kenneth V. Bateman, Ed.D., is a Texas State Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
and a Texas State Licensed Professional Counselor. Dr. Bateman is also a Clinical
Member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy and is an AAMFT
Approved Supervisor. He holds a Doctor of Education degree in Counseling (with special
study in Marriage and Family Therapy) from Texas A & M University at Commerce
(formerly East Texas State University).
In my practice I only accept clients who I believe have the capacity to resolve their own
problems with my assistance. I believe that as people become more accepting of
themselves, they are more capable of finding happiness and contentment in their lives.
However, self-awareness and self-acceptance are goals that sometimes take a long
time to achieve. Some clients need only a few counseling sessions to achieve these
goals, while others may require months or even years of counseling. As a client, you are
in complete control and may end our counseling relationship at any point. I will be
supportive of that decision. If counseling is successful, you should feel that you are able
to face life’s challenges in the future without my support or intervention.
I assure you that my services will be rendered in a professional manner consistent with
accepted ethical standards. Sessions are fifty minutes in duration. Please note that it is
impossible to guarantee any specific results regarding your counseling goals. Together
we will work to achieve the best possible results for you. Other options for counseling
include talking with other professionals, your clergy person, or choosing to let the
situation remain the same.
