About RadicalVigor
Hello. Welcome. Great to meet you!
My name is Guy (full name: Guy Vandenberg). I was born and raised in Europe (Netherlands, France, Spain, Switzerland) and was trained as a traditional Rom ("Gypsy") healer (Chovihano), social therapist and organic farmer.
After emigrating to the US in 1984 I worked as an activist, clinician, and educator during the height of the AIDS pandemic in the SF Tenderloin Disitrict, Hospitals, Hospice, Prisons and Jails, and in subSaharan Africa.
In 2022 I retired from UCSF, but I still work part-time as a faculty member at the UCSF-PAETC.
I am excited about setting up my own independent practice!
My calling is to help people heal themselves.
I look forward to getting to know you and working with you!
Approach
I believe in treating you as a whole person, not just your symptoms. My approach to your healing and wellness integrates principles of traditional, natural, and modern western medicine - exploring the ways they can complement each other. But I always remember that the most effective way to healing and wellness is in your own (often subconscious) knowledge and powers. Let's find and unleash your essential life forces: your vigor!
Services
RadicalVigor offers a range of services, including Rogerian and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), bioenergetics, naturopathic medicine, reiki, massage, and hypnotherapy. You and I will work together to develop a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan that fits your individual needs. This work can be hard. Painful even. But you can do it. You are worth it. And: you don't have to do it alone.
