Dr. W. Bryce Hagedorn, PhD, LMHC, NCC, MAC Dr. Hagedorn began working as an Assistant Professor in the Counselor Education Program at UCF in 2007. Whereas one can review his vita for his level of professional involvement, however, what isn't evident is his personal philosophy. His philosophy can be summed up in several "personal mantras" that he is quick to throw out to students, supervisees, and clients alike. Join Dr. Hagedorn at the FCA convention on Sunday, October 10, to learn more of his “personal mantras”. Dr. Hagedorn has training and experience in individual, group, and family counseling. This training and experience includes clients in age ranges from adolescence through adulthood in a variety of therapeutic settings, to include private practice, community mental health clinics, inpatient/outpatient hospitals, intensive outpatient programs, and college counseling centers. This has afforded him the opportunity to work with a variety of multicultural clients and client issues, to include chemical and process addictions (i.e. compulsions with sex, food, gambling, exercise, etc.), mental illness (e.g., depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, etc.), crisis intervention, interpersonal dynamics, parenting, self-esteem work, and stress management.
PRECONVENTION WORKSHOPS The purpose of this basic level Disaster Services training is to prepare licensed mental health professionals to provide for and respond to the psychological needs of people across the continuum of disaster preparedness, response and recovery.
