Eugene Furnace

My communication style

I am direct in communication. I believe you can make better decisions if you have clear, evidence-based, and personalized information. I also enjoy a good laugh to break up the seriousness that faces our challenges sometimes brings.

My journey to mental healthcare

I come from rural America where access to care was limited. As a guy, I also experienced situations where it was shameful or looked down on to receive help. My passion is to improve access while normalizing men supporting other men in life, just like the Bible tells us to do.

My goals for you

As a solution-focused provider, we set actionable goals, develop a strategy to achieve your goals, and measure progress towards your goals. My role is to support your independence and autonomy with quality information and encouragement. You are always the decision-maker.

Our first session

The first session addresses all the legal and ethical requirements and is a first "get to know you" conversation. I invite guys to ask questions to gain insight to the person I am and determine if they believe it is a good fit. I also ask questions to spur on conversation and learn about your history, experiences, preferences, and goals.
