About Dr. Eicken
Who Is Dr. Eicken?
Before becoming a psychologist I retired in 1999 from a 20 year career in Law Enforcement at a suburb of Oklahoma City (specifically; Moore, OK.). My Ph.D. is from Oklahoma State University, and I did my residency at the U.C. Davis Counseling Center. In the early part of my psychology career I worked at an eating disorder clinic, and in several drug and alcohol treatment facilities. I was an adjunct professor at California State University Fullerton, and at the University of San Francisco. I currently live in a wonderful Grandfather Bungalow right next door to my Son's home, and get to watch my grand daughters play in the back yard. I have enjoyed photography for a long time, and have recently taken up "contemplative photography".
Why Dr. Eicken?
I am different from many therapists in several ways. First I am willing to be the expert at therapy, but not of your life. We will co-construct your healing experience. Your participation is more important than mine. I also tend to be more interactive, and proactive, than other therapists. While I feel that insight is very important; I focus on how our work will pragmatically improve your life. Most of all, the keystone of my practice is respectful attention to your individual differences, personal culture, and belief system. The result is a safe environment to experiment with applying your strengths to problems in new ways
How Ive Thinks About Treatment:
People looking for a psychologist are often struggling with troubles that have cropped up in their life. Troubles can be caused by painful relationships, work environments, critical incidents, family problems, health issues, or simply feeling stuck in an unsatisfactory life. These problems are stressful, and you may be experiencing worry or feelings of anxiety, sadness, or anger. When these problems or feelings start interfering with your life it's time to take care of yourself. Research and experience tell us that people can get better, and that therapy is a good investment in one’s self.
