Don Boice has a Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania and is licensed in New York state as a Clinical Social Worker.  He founded Boice Counseling in Irondequoit in 2007 after having had a private practice from 1999 to 2002. 

Over the last 20 years, Don has counseled hundreds of individuals and couples.  He specializes in couples counseling, understanding gender communication and creating an environment where both women and men feel comfortable.  He's adept at helping people with a variety of issues including anger, conflict, anxiety and more. In addition to in-office counseling sessions, Don also provides his clients a variety of tips and resources they can use at home to help them address their issues and not be forever dependent on a counselor.

Before having a private practice, Don was a counselor in a variety of places, including EAP (Employee Assistance Program) of Rochester, Catholic Family Center, Westfall Associates, Unity Health System and other organizations in the Rochester area, Florida and Pennsylvania.  He's also given myriad workshops, presentations and communication-oriented training programs at Kodak, Rochester General Hospital, the City of Rochester, the Center for Youth and Lifetime Health, among other places.  He is a member of NASW (National Association of Social Workers).

Last year, Don published his book, entitled Top Notch Couples - The First Five Skills which provides understanding and practical advice to readers.  He has also created CDs and MP3s focused on anger resolution and relaxation techniques.  He even offers an innovative biofeedback program that helps clients gauge their stress and relaxation levels. 

Don lives in Irondequoit with his wife of nearly 20 years and their two young children.  He loves what he does and his greatest wish is the good health of others.
