Thank you for taking time to learn how we can partner together. I offer an atmosphere of warmth, encouragement, wellness and 35 years of experience as a marriage & family psychologist. Having raised a son and daughter, married a long time and a recent grandfather, I know families, careers and life in general are VERY hard work. It is my passion to make your journey easier and successful for you. Knowledge is power - the more you learn about yourself, communication skills, and acquire tools to eliminate depression, anxiety, anger, phobias, etc. the happier you will be in all aspects of life. Choosing a psychologist is an important decision. We spend the initial session exploring goals/dreams/challenges - you will know quickly if you are comfortable with my style (very important). We use a range of hi-tech psychological tests/techniques - Mindfully Based Cognitive, Adlerian, Positive, Energy, Hypnosis, etc. (See www.garyvannphd.com) From 1985 to 2002, I was blessed to be mentored and trained by Dr. Don Dinkmeyer - author of the Systematic Training for Effective Parenting and the Training In Marriage Enrichment Programs. Many clients over the years have benefited by this wealth of knowledge and skills I learned from Dr, Dinkmeyer.
