Theoretical Orientation
I assist clients to move and grow by drawing on an eclectic group of therapeutic tools and schools of thought such as Relational Multicultural Theory, Ego Analytical Therapy, Solution Focused, and Psychodynamic Theory. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort with each client and that, ideally, therapy can help be a source of new or renewed knowledge to help us regain or restructure our sense of self and / or the dynamic between ourselves and others - and ultimately help us to lead a more centered and balanced life.
Special Focuses
While I am able to assist clients with a wide range of concerns, our practice focuses on areas where we have extensive professional, and in some cases personal, experience.
These special focuses include :
- Communication - Marriage , Relationship, and Family concerns
- Depression / Mood Disorders - Anxiety and Phobias - Loss and grief
- Family of Origin Issues - Life Transitions / Challenges / Changes
- Parenting - Sense of Self / Self Esteem
- “Kink” / Paraphalias
- Trauma Recovery - EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
- Nontraditional relationships; Polyamorous, Blended families
- Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning Client Knowledgeable and Friendly
My Associates
I am pleased to be able to name Kerry Sheehan LPC as Deagan and Associates other Principle Practitioner. Kerry and I began to work together 3+ years ago at Waterloo Counseling Center – after her internship with Safeplace’s counseling program – and I have had the good fortune to be able to continue to work with this gifted therapist.
Our new associates are Rhonda Teagle LPCI, Kelly Robinson LPCI, and Bernadette Chavez LPCI. We are pleased to welcome these colleagues that share with us an interest in strengths based services that are nonjudgmental, G,L,B,T,Q,P knowledgeable, and Relationally based.
Violet Crown Counseling Group
My associates, Kerry Sheehan LPC and Rhonda Teagle LPCI, and I are proud of our affiliation with Violet Crown Counseling Group. This virtual group practice enables us to serve a broader range of clients by connecting us to several other private practices that all share a commitment to serving the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Polyamorous community. By no means do all of our client self identify as belonging to one of these groups but they all benefit from the discretion and nonjudgmental practices that all VCC members share.
