Dennis Patrick Wood

PhD
Psychologist
I have had the privilege of having gained specialized psychological skills and expertise during the past 45 years and it is my ongoing intent and endeavor to share these tools within the framework of individual psychotherapy. My treatment philosophy is to ensure that each one of my patients have the most contemporary, individualized, and specialized treatment within the comfort of the Tele-Psychology Model. For instance, I invite prospective and current patients to access not only my webpage but also the Virtual Reality Medical Center's webpage to find out more about Virtual Reality Therapy.  Virtual Reality Therapy utilizes computer technology, biofeedback, meditation, and Exposure Therapy to successfully treat our dedicated and brave men and women in uniform who deployed in harm's way so that we can continue to enjoy our freedoms and quality of life in the United States.  Virtual Reality Therapy is also utilized to treat Flying Phobia, Generalized and Specific Anxiety Diagnoses and Chronic Pain.
Hopefully, within a few years, Virtual Reality Therapy can be offered within a Tele-Psychology format.  Even without access to Virtual Reality Therapy, there are fantastic and evidenced-based advantages to utilizing both meditation and biofeedback within a Tele-Psychology model.
