Pace Lawson, LPC, LCDC

Pace Lawson is a happy husband to Melissa and father of three. In 2008, he returned to Amarillo from inpatient treatment, began working two jobs and enrolled in college to study counseling. Being a psychotherapist provides Pace with a deep sense of meaning and purpose in life. He's been trained in several evidence-based interventions.

Most of what he knows about the flow of therapy, Pace has discovered through his own healing experiences. The science of therapy, however, he’s learned through rigorous academic study and practice. This is something he’s dedicated his life to. He always appears happy to help.

Pace and the staff at Recovatry do incredible work! They are intentional about meeting people where they are so they can join them in their journey.

Recovatry has taught me so many things about finding hope and purpose in life again.

I learned to clear and calm my mind. I'm able to stay in the moment and process things more effectively.

I've known them professionally for over a decade. Recovatry is sure to become an important asset to Amarillo and the Panhandle in general!

The thing I liked most about therapy at Recovatry was how I was able to open up without the fear of judgment.

My therapist was always straight forward with me and had me always questioning myself in a helpful way.

Recovatry has an excellent team. They are respectful to each individual’s case and show interest in helping everyone succeed.

I love how I was able to feel comfortable coming in, and walk-out with a smile.

I could be totally honest about how I felt and what I was going through. I always got positive feedback and advise that steered me in the right direction.

You know you’ve got a good one when you leave a session feeling like you can conquer the world!!
