I'm glad you're here. I practice PhD-Level Counseling and Coaching services for growth and change in life, relationships, and career.
I offer specialized service and expertise especially for Men's Counseling, Couples Counseling, and Young Professionals, and I see others too. I've been honored to help people improve their quality of life for more than 18 years. I'm a graduate of Furman University (BA), Duke University (MDiv), Mercer University (MS), and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (PhD). I'm a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor.
For those who find faith orientation meaningful, my background includes pastoral experience and theological education. I value the opportunity to help you with a supportive, nonjudgmental approach to making life better.

Dr. Bozard understands and is comfortable helping you with private concerns like porn use, sexual addiction and performance, and other forms of addiction. Athletes, young professionals, seasoned adults, students, and military are among the range of men who've benefitted. Learn about the Dr. Bozard's program to free men from Porn and Sexual Addiction.
Dr. Bozard completed specialized training in Gottman Method, the most highly researched, science-based approach to helping couples. Communication, sex, money, and infidelity are some of the concerns couples have found help with. Learn how to lean toward one another instead of drifting apart.

We understand why people sometimes desire to utilize insurance for services. Unfortunately, use of insurance comes with risks, including security concerns about where your personal and diagnostic information may go, potential to impact your future eligibility for life and disability insurance, and potential for the insurance company to audit records and demand repayment from you. This practice is out of network with all insurance and has opted out of Medicare to safeguard client privacy and confidentiality--and keep the focus on YOU.
Monthly Superbill statements are provided upon request for clients to submit their own Out of Network claims.
