Message from Thomas Doherty:
2009 has been a big year for Sustainable Self. I served a variety of individuals in our community and very much enjoyed leading the new Men's Adult Development Group this Fall. I continued to ride the wave of sustainability and environmental consciousness. The Ecopsychology courses I developed at Lewis & Clark Graduate School continued into their second full year and, along the way, I provided continuing education to counselors in the community and helped supervise the research of two graduate students.
In terms of personal accomplishments, I trained for and completed the Portland Marathon, a major life goal. I watched my young daughter grow and shared the challenges and joys of making a marriage and family with my wife.
My work is not easy but I go to bed every night feeling like I am part of the solution. Where do I get my energy? From the good people that I work with.
Call or Contact me if you think I can help with one of your important goals.
