Hello, my name is Eric Dungan and I'm a Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Worker. I attended University of Louisville. I specialize in PTSD, Grief, loss, Depression, Anxiety, Marriage and Family and Anger Management. I have years of experience in the field of mental health care. I strive to help people attain their maximize potential in all aspects of their lives, using several different treatments modalities. All sessions are focused, to provide a nonjudgmental and objective environment to help the patient view their struggles with a new objective and fair perspective towards themselves and other significant people and events in their lives.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

My first sessions are extremely informal in nature where i will share appropriate and relevant information about myself and my life journey, we discuss the three most important aspects of therapy as i have come to believe them to be. Then I will ask a series of superficial symptom questions about how you have been functioning in your life overall. Finally, we will superficially discussed what brings you in seeking therapy. We will end the intake session with a summary of our chat and any past diagnoses' you have been given by providers you have seen in the past.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I feel my strengths as a therapist are, objectivity, being non-judgmental, empathy, compassionate, creativity and caring. I feel i can bring a unique, honest, clear, open and objective approach based in accountability and positivity for you to help see yourself in a brighter and more resilient light. This is geared to help you see the strengths deep inside of yourself, along with the will and drive to better by yourself and your overall life experiences.

He was for real, no bull straight forward telling you like it is. He seems to have a lot of experience. And intelligent.

I was considering giving up on therapy. Eric was my last hoorah at finding a therapist and I am so happy I took that leap of faith. He is genuine, open-minded, inquisitive, hilarious and all around just makes me feel seen and heard. I have never had a therapist who I have connected to so well. Eric genuinely waants to help you help yourself. Since starting my therapy journey with him as my provider, I feel hopeful for the first time in a long time.

After many years of dealing with therapy on and off and never really feeling good about it, I decided to try one more time and that is when I met with him the first time. Very open and honest about who he is and what he expects along with what the client can expect from him. He pushes me when I need it, and allows me to feel when I need that. I could not recommend him enough.
