John DeGaglia
How is it possible to describe myself? How about I do not describe myself and just describe behaviors? Caring. Loving. Motivated. Dedicated. Devoted. Available. Communicative. Questioning. Listener. Willing to learn. Willing to make mistakes. Enjoys working with a blank sheet of paper. Welcome to anyone and everyone. Want a chance? Welcome the opportunity?
If change is what you seek, let's do it together!
Then may-be we are a match.
First session
Expect some some focused conversation. We need to use verbal language in order to address your concern or issue. Once we are communicating, perhaps even building some rapport, magic is possible . . .
Strengths
Eclectic. Will use any technique to help you, the client, move to the place you wish to be. You set the direction. I set the questions to help get us there. Fair?
Ideal clients
Puh-lease. Why is 'my' ideal even worthy of description? How about this: have a concern or issue. Wish to explore said concern or issue. We have to use English because I do not speak any other language. Perhaps enjoy humor. Enjoy motivation. And really really really enjoy compliments. If you are expecting Doctor Downer, enjoy getting yelled, or are expecting me to order you around, we will not make it together.
Origin story
MY entire life is devoted to helping others. Period. Have served with many and still believe I can serve more. Service is more than a job or a profession. It is an avocation.
Ongoing work together
Therapy is often a combination of the moment, the concern or issue, interspersed with the past, previous thoughts, experiences, and patterns. By dealing with the present moment and looking backward from whence these concerns or issues may have arisen, can we build your beautiful future.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Briefly, I am an avowed behaviorist and that is not listed. CBT is under that umbrella. Next, I must practice Rogerian therapy. (That is all about unconditional positive regard for the client.) Next, I am a firm believer in Existentialism. We all have so much in common. Lastly, due to both personal and professional interests, have more than a fair amount of experience with stressors and trauma.
