Vince Didato LPCC-S
Background
Vince is a clinical counselor who has been in private practice for 30 years. He focuses on helping groups and individuals with organizational health, adaptive relationships and personal wholeness. The philosophy of his faith-based work is taken from Amos 9:11.
“In that day
I will restore David’s fallen shelter—
I will repair its broken walls
and restore its ruins—
and will rebuild it as it used to be."
You might not be surprised to know that prior to becoming licensed as a counselor, Vince was ordained as a minister. He served as a pastor for 6 years at a multi-staff church of several thousand members. That ministry is where he first recognized the need for people to find help in applying the principles of Amos 9:ll to building healthy organizations, relationships, and personal lives.
This website gives an overview of how Vince uses this guiding principle in public speaking to organizations, churches and community groups.
Teaching
Vince has extensive experience as a public speaker who provides training in personal development. Over the years, he has led seminars for organizations, churches, educational institutions and faith-based retreats.
One popular approach to helping people develop their personal lives and organizations is in the use of assessment tools to identify personality styles. Vince has taught numerous seminars and classes instructing people in the use of the DISC. This questionnaire is useful for the development of organizations, relationships, and personal growth.
Speaking
All people have experienced life altering stresses. These events include losses, grief, rejection, betrayals, and trauma. These experiences can create profound disillusionment in one's view of self, relationships, purpose, or God's goodness.
Vince's experience in clinical counseling enables him to assist people in the process of overcoming these disruptions. They are then free to develop a greater sense of well-being, purpose and personal wholeness.
Personal Development
Every individual has their own unique personality style. Each style has its own set of strengths and weaknesses as demonstrated in communication, conflict management, time perspective, leadership style, motivation, and performance under stress. Vince assists individuals in learning how to enhance their strengths, work effectively with a variety of personalities and develop strategies to minimize the negative effects of one's weaknesses.
