| About Janis / David McCann | ||
| Janis E. McCann, Ph.D., MFT David R. McCann, Ph.D, R.P. Certified Relationship Coaches Marriage & Family Psychotherapists Life Change and Transition Specialists |
||
| Janis E. McCann and David R. McCann are both licensed psychodynamic psychotherapists and personal and relationship coaches. They coach highly motivated and successful individuals, and couples seeking conscious relationships. They are also depth psychologists exploring archetypal and universal themes in the lives of individuals and couples, challenging clients to find their dreams in the imaginal realm, to develop their imaginal abilities, so that they not only dare to dream their dreams, but to give birth to those dreams and realize them in the world. | ||
| Janis and David have over fifty years of experience between them, as educators, therapists, and coaches. Having attended one of Harville Hendrix's Getting the Love You Want couples workshops some years ago, they were so excited at the prospects of healing their own relationship, that they resolved to help themselves, and then to help others with what they are now calling the creative potential of relationship or the 3 Cs--contact, communication, and communion. They are Certified Imago Relationship Therapists, and shortly are to be certified as Workshop Presenters for the couple's weekend workshop. | ||
| Janis is from the East coast (born in New Jersey) where she attended Smith College and Columbia University. David is from the Midwest (born in Wisconsin, grew up in Cleveland). They found each other at UCLA (their first marriages had gone south), where Janis was getting her education after giving birth to four daughters, David was a young professor of literature. One of their passions together is great literature and mythology, which they use extensively in their workshops and seminars). They are co-authoring a book which will show the development of modern marriage and relationship out of mythology and the annals of literature. | ||

| More...on Janis McCann | ||
| Janis has had a life-long love affair with learning. Having completed one Ph.D. in Social-Clinical Psychology, she will shortly complete her second doctorate in Mythological Studies. For Janis, myth is about individual, cultural and archetypal stories as they exemplify the Soul's Journey. Jan believes that the Women's Movement points to new possibilities for the transformation of this society; for her, the interaction between the psycho-spiritual and cultural dimensions of people's lives and the blessings and challenges offered within relationships, provide profound arenas for personal and relationshiphealing. | ||
| An artist, poet, and writer as well as a Personal and Relationship coach, family therapist, and child psychoanalyst, Janis is the mother of four daughters and grandmother of seven; she shares with them her passionate interests in art, mythology, cinema, travel, classical music, and hiking. Having worked in career and organizational consultation with people of all cultural background, Janis undertakes ongoing personal and professional training to more effectively help her clients in their journey to fulfillment and wholeness. | ||
