About Me

By

 Dr. Dwight D. LaVan, LCDC

Dr. Dwight D. LaVan has a dedicated life to service. He was truly born with a servant's heart, and it's evident in his work within his community. Always placing the needs of others before his own. However, Dr. LaVan learned that sometimes you must put yourself first. He often states that you can't keep pouring from an empty cup, because, eventually, the well runs dry. 

  

Dr. Dwight D. LaVan has spent the last 15 years providing outreach services to needy families and individuals struggling with addiction, homelessness, family and relationship issues. He provided lay counseling, and other resources like job placement services, career counseling, career development, skill building, relationship management skills, and resume writing services. 

  

In 2018 Dr. LaVan started offering professional life coaching services before going to school for chemical dependency counseling. Dr. Dwight is currently a licensed chemical dependency counselor with the state of Texas, an experienced based certified community health worker with the state of Texas, a licensed marriage and family Christian therapist, an ordained spiritual minister, and a certified therapeutic hypnotherapist practitioner with an earned doctorates degree in divinity, and a Ph.D. in metaphysics. 

  

With a passion for Christ, and a servant's heart, Dr. Dwight D. LaVan has truly shown his dedication to the helping profession.  

My Typical Clients-

My typical clients tend to be adult men, gay or str8 between the ages of 18 to 38 years old, working adults who were typically raised in a house where excessive drinking, and smoking was considered normal. These individual's childhood "issues" have now significantly contributed to major problems within their lives. Rather it be relationship problems, self-esteem issues, co-dependency or even their own overindulgence in feel good activities. Their goal is to be gently challenged to change their way of thinking, break the cycle and take control of their lives, so they can establish a new and healthy way of living for themselves, and those they love.

Good Faith Estimate- 

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. 

 

● You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

 

●Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. ● If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

●Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.

Client Testimonials

What They’re Saying

It was a very wonderful experience working with Dr. Dwight. I appreciate his time and the advice that he offers. His counseling skills are amazing! I was feeling  pretty bad about my situation before coming to him. I am now well on the road to the healing that I needed.  Thanks always Minister.

Veyola Johnson 

I had a few relationship coaching sessions with Dwight, a couple of years ago. When I was going through a tough breakup, he was able to coach me in the right direction. I wasn't feeling great about who I was within that relationship, he helped me to understand that I don't have to save anyone, and it's not my obligation either. He helped me to point out some things in me, that I didn't even know I had. I took my pain and turned it into purpose! I found the career that I wanted within the medical field and I just landed my dream job, I truly believe that this wouldn't have been possible without Dwight's coaching and believing in me. I would highly recommend Dwight, for a relationship coach.

Michelle D

Anabel O

Hi, I had a few counseling  sessions with Dwight, he was really spot on, what I loved about his style of counseling was that he was patient, took his time to touch on the various aspects of sections that I am struggling with. Thank you so much for your time. Stay blessed 

M Blissed

I had several counseling sessions with Dr. Dwight, and let me tell you this, it was amazing! I agreed to 3 months worth of sessions. It was affordable and fit well into my budget. I really liked the fact that he works with you.

Ty Costrini

He is truly an amazing counselor he was able to help me bring out the much needed light that had been buried so deep in me from past hurt and pain. I would recommend Minister Dwight hands down to anyone that would like a non-judgmental spiritual counselor.
