[THE TEAM]Leadership
FOUNDER -
Xavier Woodson started Think Different Consulting with a simple but powerful vision: to create workplaces where mental health and well-being are not afterthoughts, but priorities that drive lasting success.
His journey began in 2018, when the idea for Think Different Consulting first took shape. After years of leading an outpatient community mental health clinic, overseeing residential programs, and implementing mental health initiatives within higher education, Xavier witnessed firsthand how organizational culture, policies, and leadership directly impact both employees and outcomes. These experiences inspired him to create a consulting model that blends clinical expertise with practical workplace strategies.
A proud graduate of Huston-Tillotson University (BA in Psychology) and Houston Baptist University (MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling), Xavier brings both professional expertise and personal passion to his work. He is dedicated to helping organizations rethink how they support their teams—whether through stress management, policy development, or leadership training—so that both employees and companies thrive.
When he’s not consulting, Xavier is passionate about community growth, mentorship, and finding new ways to spark conversations around mental health. For him, Think Different Consulting is more than a business—it’s a mission to reshape how organizations care for their people.
