About John Ballew, M.S.

My training and professional
memberships

I have a Master of Science degree
in clinical psychology from Purdue
University and a certificate in
massage therapy from the Body
Electric School in Oakland,
California. I am a member of the
American Counseling Association,
The Association for Gay, Lesbian,
and Bisexual Issues in Counseling,
The Licensed Professional
Counselor's Association of
Georgia and the Society for the
Scientific Study of Sexuality.

I am a Licensed Professional
Counselor (LPC) as well as a
Certified Massage Therapist
(CMT)--a somewhat unusual
combination that attests to the
importance I place on the
connection between body, mind
and soul. I also teach classes
throughout North America for the
Body Electric School. The focus of
the classes is helping men
reconnect sexuality with a sense of
the sacred.
