Dr. Michael Galvin

I have over 40 years of experience as a psychologist with a wide variety of problems, first in a mental health center, and then in private practice. I have taught and trained therapists in three universities and also worked in executive coaching. I am now mostly retired, but still do a fair amount of training and consulting, and like to see a few clients.

I studied quite a few of our traditional therapy methods and practiced them for many years, and I was always adopting what I thought was better. Then I discovered two approaches which impressed me as more effective than anything I had seen before: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Energy Psychology, and I now specialize in Energy Psychology. These methods have now been around for a couple of decades, are backed by a large body of research, and are producing rapid and lasting results for people. They can be applied to almost any condition and are especially effective with anxiety- and trauma-related issues.

I would be happy to talk with you about getting the help you need.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Le Docteur GALVIN est quelqu'un de très patient, d'intéressé, ouvert et joyeux. Je n'ai fais que quelques séances avec lui pour le moment cependant celles-ci ont été productives et m'ont permis de comprendre certaines choses à propos de moi et continuer à réfléchir sur moi-même sans être bloqué. Je vous recommande le Docteur GALVIN.
