Andrew J. Billups, Psy. D.
He also practices positive psychology and coaching for individuals who do not view themselves as sick or mentally ill, but are in a state of mediocrity and want to move toward a greater sense of fulfillment and actualization of their potential. Positive psychology clients sometimes say, “I have languished for years, and I would prefer to flourish.” A description of these services is available at chesapeakecoaching.com.
