DR. R. WOLF SHIPON, NJ /NY Practicing Psychologist
OWNER AND CLINICAL DIRECTOR
A man with a kayak, a ukulele, and a dream. He also has a doctorate in psychology, several books with his name on it, and a couple of state licenses as a psychologist. He is the developer of fast-acting interventions (based on clinical hypnosis, Reiki, trauma therapies, and neurolinguistic programming [NLP]). Funny. Fallible. Happily married to the fittest music teacher in the universe, which makes his late night cheese habit problematic. Father to two amazing children and the leading cat litter scooper and barbecuer for a home in Lake Parsippany. Highly trained in hypnosis, DBT, and eating things. Founder of an open mic, Gathering Point, which occurs the first and third Mondays at the Lake Parsippany Club House.
W. SHAWN WELTY, MA, LPC, LCADC, EMDR Specialist, ASSISTANT CLINICAL DIRECTOR
Certified “dork” – or is that “geek” nowadays? He’s licensed for both counseling and addictions, trauma trained, and concerned with getting things exactly right (especially when participating in carpool karaoke) – so you will be heard, and maybe even harmonized with while making cheesy “Star Trek” or “Doctor Who” references. Might just prefer dogs to some humans. Well rounded, having been raised in Warren County and educated and gained experience in Mercer, Passaic, Morris and Sussex Counties. He’s made of stern stuff, but seems so nice, so truly the “Best of Both Worlds.” Teens on up.
