Introduction: My Methodology is effective in assisting people create meaningful change in behaviors and practices that are harmful or disruptive to their lives and relationships. In my practice I use an approach of modified Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It is an approach based upon basic behavioral and cognitive principles. Following this approach I acknowledge that there may be behaviors that cannot be controlled through rational or logical thought. CBT is problem focused, undertaken for specific problems and action oriented. As a therapist I work to assist you as a client in selecting specific strategies to help address those problems. Helping people! Many people do not understand their purpose. I am here to help people to engage every effort and resource to have a healthy life. I do this so when they tell their story it will honestly be filled with happiness.

Douglas recently officiated at my wedding in a small ceremony in my backyard. Everything went smoothly and he made us all feel at ease. He helped my fiancé and I choose the vows that resonated with us and he carried out the rest of the ceremony in the same way. He was helpful, patient, adaptable, and has a great sense of humor. I highly recommend him

Dr Douglas Balzer was there for me and my family when my brother passed away unexpectedly. He took care of everything and gave the most beautiful sermon that gave my family peace and comfort. His professionalism and caring manner touched us deeply and helped our grieving process. On the flip side, he is blessed with an incredible positive attitude about his passions for any occasion where he is utilized for any service he provides. I highly recommend Dr Balzer. He will always be my go to person for his services.

Doug is a wonderful counselor, confidant, leader and teacher that I consider to be one of my best friends. Doug has excellent listening skills and is able to inspire me to think about my life and place it in perspective to biblical teachings and align solutions to Gods word. Doug has my highest rating.

Doug and his wife are an amazing couple and work so well together to make your day personal and beautiful. On such short notice Doug called me and met with my husband and I the next day. We had a wonderfully relaxed meeting and felt very comfortable with Doug. We met Jan at the rehearsal and if it wasn't for them it would have been nothing but chaos that night. The wedding ceremony itself was beautiful. Doug put the right touch of religion that I felt God was there but not so much that the ceremony was more about religion then us. Doug and Jan both gave so much of themselves to our wedding that we feel as if they are friends now and look forward to continuing to have a relationship with them. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Douglas Balzer as the officiant for your wedding, and his wife too.

We hired Douglas Balzer to officiate our mid September backyard wedding in Vancouver, WA. Our ceremony was to start at 3pm with a rehearsal set for approximately 12:30, Douglas and his wife Jan arrived around 12 and left a couple hours after the ceremony (reception immediately followed). We were so relieved and thrilled that we had chosen to hire Douglas, not only because he was extremely affordable, but because he 'knocked it out of the park'! The custom ceremony he created to enhance our vows, and tell our guests the story of us, was so well prepared and beautiful. We were also pleasantly surprised by the added bonus of Jan's services, as she was a huge help with the rehearsal and choreography of the bridal party. Douglas and Jan worked together with us to ensure everything about the ceremony was orchestrated exactly to our wishes and pulled off without any complications or issues. Lastly, the Balzers are warm and caring people who very obviously love the work they do and take pride in that work to help couples transition into marriage, I would definitely highly recommend them!

FAQs

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I do 6 hours of graduate level studies every year to keep up with current developments in my field of study and profession.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    When looking for a provider you should be able to make a pre-client appointment to make sure the provider is a good fit to work with you. Of course credential are important, but if there not an intuitive sense of comfort and trust initially you should probably continue to interview providers. This is important to me as a provider. A client or clients must have an innate sense they are able to trust me with their issues and problems. I always recommend let's meet and have coffee to chat. Get to know me. If I am a good fit, great. If not - then we got a chance to meet someone new and have a good cup of coffee.

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

    I take my work serious and it is not easy. It requires continued investment in continuing education. No one should enter into this profession unless they are ready to really deal with deep issues others are struggling with. You need to be able to process others emotions while being compassionate and empathetic. There is no room for being judgmental in the doctor client relationship.
