Thomas E. Skeeter III, MS, LCPC, NCC, CMT is a Board Certified Mental Health Therapist. His approach to treatment is based on Family Systems Theory which was developed by Dr. Murray Bowen. Mr. Skeeter helps clients examine their behavioral and emotional responses to stress, anxiety, depression and trauma based on learned behaviors from their family of origin. Currently, he works with chronically ill patients at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Cystic Fibrosis Clinic.
Mr. Skeeter, who hails from the Northeast quadrant of Washington D.C. works with clients to identify the roots of the pathology they encounter and is a careful, astute clinician when discussing some of life’s most sensitive matters with his clients.
In his private practice, Mr. Skeeter provides individual, couples, and group counseling. He leads Intense Outpatient Programs (IOP) and has developed a successful curriculum utilizing psychoeducation, spirituality, cultural awareness and mindfulness which helps clients identify triggers and understand their responses to personal trauma which often lead to self-medicating behaviors. He also provides therapeutic services including intake assessments, family therapy, addictions counseling, behavioral modifications and interventions, anger management, IEP consultations, as well as treatment planning for individuals, couples, and families. He works with clients ages 8 and above.
Mr. Skeeter has also developed behavioral health programming for middle school and high school students to help them cope with mental health challenges that have been presented due to COVID 19. He developed an after-school program in which he combines physical fitness and mental health practices to teach elementary school age children how to develop personal resiliency and understand how emotional regulation impacts their behavior.
Mr. Skeeter recently participated in a post-graduate program at Georgetown University, focused on early childhood mental health and is a proud alum of Loyola University Maryland (MS), University of Maryland College Park (BA), and Archbishop Carroll High School.
