Dennis’s belief is that we all need counseling in some fashion and at some point in our lives. For some that is more situational and for others it is more of a lifelong journey. He doesn’t believe it is reserved for a select few or that it means a person is weak or abnormal for them to have things that they struggle with in life. His sessions are down to earth, and he helps put clients at ease as they work through their issues and concerns. He believes that he is not able to fix or change anyone other than himself, but uses the training, experience, and skill he has to assist clients in making changes in their lives.

Jeanne has worked in a variety of places over the last 40 years: inpatient and outpatient settings, private practice, in a children’s hospital and on U.S. military bases overseas in Seoul, South Korea (Army), Lakenheath, UK (Air Force) and Sigonella, Sicily, Italy (Navy). While overseas, Jeanne received training in working with posttraumatic stress disorder as our military cycled in and out of areas of conflict.  While in private practice, Jeanne lived and worked in Norfolk, Virginia working in the same private practice for 30 years. While overseas, Jeanne was required to acquire certification in addiction.  Jeanne semi-retired in 2014 and has continued to pursue continuing education credits in forms of addiction: gambling, alcohol, and other compulsive behaviors. Additionally, Jeanne has extensive experience in working with adolescents and issues of addiction and behavioral management in that population.

Jeanne believes in working with a sense of humor and positivity. She is goal-oriented and wants clients to set their own goals and specific steps about how to achieve their goals. Jeanne expects periodic reviews from clients regarding their therapeutic experience with her and wants honest, direct feedback regarding what is helping and what is not. She recognizes that there is no one approach to all clients and wants to deliver services unique to each client. Jeanne was raised in New England. Having pursued a Master’s in Pastoral Studies, she is comfortable talking about a client’s relationship with God or his/her spiritual beliefs and perceived needs; however, she sees this exploration as up to the client.

Hargreaves-Cormany’s approach to treatment is best described as eclectic. This means that she is familiar with many techniques and draws from the one that seems most relevant to the client. She prefers Rogerian Client-Centered Therapy and Narrative Therapy theories, such as the view that the problem is separate from the person; that is the belief that the client is not the problem, yet the problem is the problem.  As a clinician, she meets the client where he or she is at, and together they create collaborative goals based on each client’s individual needs. Her primary objective is to help patients achieve therapeutic goals, which enable them to be as healthy and happy as possible.
