Edward Porter Eagan

Dr. Edward Porter Eagan is a dedicated psychologist with a PsyD, who strives to create a secure and private space for individuals of all ages, including children, adolescents, and adults. With a focus on understanding the sensitive and often hidden developmental, behavioral, emotional, and perceptual needs that impact daily life, he helps his clients navigate and overcome challenges that can disrupt life satisfaction and adaptation. Recognizing that disconnections from significant others can affect work and learning, Dr. Eagan collaborates with his clients to uncover practical strategies tailored to their unique core patterns and difficulties. His ultimate objective is to foster meaningful adaptation and lasting growth, enabling clients to engage more fully with the demands of the real world and their relationships. With 30 years of experience in the clinical field, Dr. Eagan views emotional and behavioral challenges as natural expressions of need. His therapeutic approach, informed by attachment theory and recent developmental neuroscience, is designed to empathically transform these needs into actionable understanding. In his 18 years of private practice as a licensed psychologist, he has honed considerable expertise in working with emotionally troubled youth and adults across various settings. He has also served as a supervisor for licensed clinicians and doctoral-level trainees for over a decade and has conducted professional workshops on play therapy, as well as being a former faculty member of the Antioch University Doctoral Clinical Psychology Program.
