Biography
Dave Verhaagen, PhD, is a nationally board-certified psychologist, author of multiple books, former clinical director of three mental health agencies, and founder of Southeast Psych in Charlotte and Nashville.
“There is not a singular way of understanding or working with wealthy people. Rather, it takes a complex and dynamic understanding of psychology and wealth to effectively work with this population. Dr. Verhaagen’s insights and perspectives into the experience of wealth are important to the wide range of professionals who interact with and support wealthy individuals and families.”
