Dr. Woods has years of practical experience engaged in roles demanding the ability to work easily and effectively with others at virtually any level (Corrections and Behavioral Health). Dr. Woods's strongest suit lies in the fact that he has been able to de-escalate volatile situations by directly communicating with people (staff, patients, juveniles, organizational leaders, etc.) experiencing situations that have caused them stress or strain. Dr. Woods’ experience has identified that by taking the time to precisely determine one’s problems and providing what are usually simple solutions, crises quickly evaporate, and goodwill is re-established. Dr. Woods continues to take great pride in his contributions to date and abilities to foster a bond between the person served and the organization devoted to that service.
