History
Dr. Carl Allen Tippins became interested in counseling in the late
1970’s. He participated in a training group facilitated by Dr. Dawna Markova. This group met one weekend per month, for two years. The training program utilized skills taught in Gestalt Therapy, Psycho-drama, Group Process, expressive therapies, body work, movement therapy, journaling, and Ericksonian Therapy.
In the mid-1980’s
Dr. Tippins began to study with a variety of trainers who used skills taught by Milton Erickson. During this same time, Tippins followed an early interest of his, in Men’s Issues, by following the work of Robert Bly, Michael Meade, and other leaders in the mythopoetic men’s movement.
One outcome of his Doctoral work has been an interest in the contemporary studies of psychodynamic or analytic psychotherapy. This varied study in the field of psychotherapy gives
Dr. Tippins a wide range of ways of interpreting emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.
