My name is Thomas Winterman and I am excited to be at Deer Point. I spent the previous four years as both a Clinical Counselor and a Social Worker, mostly working with underprivileged children at a local non-profit agency. I received my Bachelor of Social Work degree from Florida State University in 2011 and my Master of Science in Counseling and Psychology degree from Troy University in 2013. In April of 2014 I published my first book, The Thrive Life. You can find several of my articles on Counseling Today and PsychCentral. I have been married to my wife Kristen for 8 years now. We have a five year-old son and a one year-old daughter. I enjoy spending time with my family, writing, playing guitar, and playing sports. My passion is mental health and specifically helping children to be the best that they can be. I am excited to be at Deer Point Elementary and cannot wait to meet each and every one of you!
