After decades of intensive research and practice – mastering the most effective methods for treating a wide range of mental pain and trauma – John Dore has refined an extensive set of skills that is rare and somewhat unique among psychologists and those in the healing arts.  These days he is achieving amazing results with systemic constellations – both family constellations for individuals as well as constellations for organizations.  This success makes him more passionate than ever to serve others by helping them to resolve their pain and problems.

Constellations are the most effective and economical means to release unconscious blockages. They resolve mental obstacles to progress we had been unaware of. Constellations serve as ideal containers for all Dr. Dore offers. He now integrates constellation work with some of the best psychological science and wisdom teachings from several spiritual traditions.

His formal training and experience include psychoanalysis, neurolinguistic programming, addictions counseling, psychodrama, family therapy, and human resource management.  For 30 years John trained doctoral students in psychology, linguistics and speech science; and was chairman of an interdisciplinary program in language use across the social sciences.  As a university-wide full professor he also taught literature, and at various times religion and addictions counseling, to undergraduates. He’s been a consultant to national funding agencies, hospitals, rehabilitation centers and counseling services.  His more than 50 publications - in business, academic and trade journals - cover diverse issues in human development.

John specializes in short-term treatment (sometimes one session is enough), in guiding others to activate their own inner healing process, and in giving clients the means to resolve their own pain and problems. These days he feels best when serving others by helping them heal their pain and resolve life’s challenges - especially in relationships, addictions, "failures," and the burdens they "carry" for those they love.

In addition to family and organizational constellations, John offers personalized retreats for individuals, couples and groups; consultation to help organizations resolve their problems and achieve their goals; and individual hourly sessions as needed. In work with groups and individuals, John also uses medical QiGong, holotropic breathwork, dream analysis, shamanic journeys, holographic memory resolution, and an array of other techniques. 

Some of John's work is done outdoors, sometimes in wilderness. He works in Tucson, Sedona, New York, Mexico and Hawaii. He offers talks and workshops wherever groups of people invite him to facilitate constellations and to counsel and coach them in solving problems.
