Darwin is patient and kind on top of being highly professional, very skilled at what he does, and incredibly informed about trauma. He has helped me through some of the worst experiences in my life and has changed the way my brain can process stress. I recently dealt with the suicide of a close friend. Darwin's help was immeasurable. Thank you for supporting clients and for having such great therapists at the practice.

About Darwin
Beginning in 2013, Darwin Green trained as a substance abuse counselor as a civilian at a Marine Corps Base. He continued counseling studies and training since then, working with clients of diverse and varied backgrounds in a shifting and changing world.
Mr. Green started with a career diploma at Penn Foster career school as a military spouse. He interned at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton at their Consolidated Substance Abuse Counseling Center. From there, Mr. Green acquired a B.S. in Psychology from Penn State University. Afterward, he spent some time participating as a research assistant for the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, where he was trained in PTSD assessment tools. Mr. Green gained his provisional license in Drug and Alcohol Counseling (PLDAC) in the state of Nebraska. Mr. Green then went through the Johns Hopkins masters degree program for Clinical Mental Health Counseling, afterward acquiring his Graduate License (LGPC) in Maryland.
"Changes in life can be difficult and leave us stranded. Sometimes we need a different perspective to gain enough clarity to move past the obstacles that present themselves at difficult moments," says Mr. Green. "I am here to lend a hand, to listen to you, and to support you through your growth."

"I am here for you."

Get to know Darwin
Why did you decide to become a counselor?
I became a counselor because I witnessed first hand that it makes a difference in people's lives. From the journey we take through life we all have moments where we lose ourselves. I wanted to be there for people who needed help through this journey we call life.
What’s one thing you wish all clients knew?
The counseling session is your time. You can use it however you want.
Why did you choose to practice at Thriveworks?
I have heard great things about the level of support provided at this company, the atmosphere, and about its reputation. I am excited to be working here.
What inspires you?
Life itself inspires me. The story of a person's lifetime has many twists and turns, and though sometimes we may need help to continue through it, it's hardly ever boring.
What can clients expect in their first session with you?
The first session is typically a "getting to know you session." It's a time to reflect on goals and directions on future sessions.
What do you want to accomplish with an individual in their first session?
For me the goal of the first session is to gain an understanding of our communication styles.
What do you do for fun/on your time off?
I love DIY projects, reading, watching movies, and traveling.
What’s one thing about you that defines you (non-professional)?
My persistence defines me.
