Joe Pentony is the director of the Katy DBT Center and a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in mindfulness based therapies such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. Joe received his Masters in Counseling from The Houston Graduate School of Theology in 2007 where he learned the role of healthy, balanced spirituality in mental wellness. During his last year studying for his Masters he volunteered at American Hospice where he used his knowledge of scripture and spirituality to help those facing death and dying. He then began working at MHMRA and Westbury Community Hospital with a population of patients with severe schizophrenia, bipolar, high suicidality and hospitalization rates.
Joe received his training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy in 2009 and has received ongoing training since. He was pleased to put his interest in mindfulness based therapies to use in the Houston Memorial area where he leads skills groups and has his private practice. Joe works collaboratively with a team of therapists and psychiatrists to ensure the best possible care for his clients.
Joe works primarily with those struggling with issues of:
- Borderline personality (whether it is you or your spouse)
- Emotion regulation (anger, anxiety, depression)
