Therapeutic Philosophy
Dr. Vogan's therapeutic philosophy is based on an existential-humanistic framework. This therapy is process-oriented rather than solutions-focused, and concentrates on the subjective experience of the person. It asks deep questions about the lived experience of the human being and the nature of anxiety, grief, and isolation. It aims to increase self-awareness, thereby creating space for the individual to live to his or her full potential with authenticity. It focuses on integrating what we feel, think, and how we exist in the world. It highlights the importance of individual responsibility for one's life, making the implicit explicit, and fostering self-discovery.
Credentials
Dr. Vogan received his doctoral degree in clinical psychology with a specialization in sport psychology from Argosy University-Phoenix; his master’s degree in sport psychology from Ithaca College; and his Bachelor of Science degree in exercise science with a minor in psychology from The George Washington University.
