Dale noticed a need for mental health services in the area and wanted to open a private practice to meet the needs of his community.  The result was the formation of Foothills Behavioral Health, PLLC in November of 2023.  

Foothills Behavioral Health, PLLC provides mental health services for individuals ages 7 and up, couples and families.   From the beginning, Dale has had an ease with bonding and developing good rapport with individuals quickly.

Dale received his undergraduate degree in Criminal Justice from Gardner Webb University in 2006 and his master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Liberty University in 2012.   He has formal training in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Dale specializes in working with PTSD, Acute Trauma, Anxiety, Depression and ADHD. He is a Board-Certified Qualified Supervisor for undergraduates and Master’s level graduates seeking licensure in North Carolina.  He also provides additional services that can be found on the website.
