Hello. My name is Chad and I am a clinical psychologist in New York State. I believe in the human potential for change and value the concepts of empathy, hope, and forgiveness in affecting this change. I am currently employed in a state hospital. Though it is challenging work, I am an advocate for personal strength based intervention. Through personal contact, genuine concern, and non-judgment, we all are capable of assisting others in changing their lives for the better.
Ga-du-gi means come together and work for the benefit of the community. Will Rogers said: "I am a Cherokee and it's the proudest little possession I ever hope to have." Whether we are light skinned or dark skinned, speaker or non-speaker, rich or poor, educated or not, female or male, young or old, we each can be bound by the spirit of ga-du-gi in addition to our common ancestry. We can each be bound together by the promise and dedication that we will pass on our great Cherokee legacy.
