Along with his fee for service, Donald Crowe, Ph.D., provides free psychotherapy services for people without homes within the Oakland Diocese of the Catholic Church. Dr. Crowe also teaches a course titled "The How of Happiness" through which he encourages people to concentrate their efforts on utilizing their natural strengths (such as kindness) rather than weaknesses (such as over-thinking problems) to gain contentment. In addition, Dr. Crowe encourages participants to focus on the present and to ground their lives in gratitude.
Donald Crowe, Ph.D., practices these techniques in his own life, as well, giving freely of his time to a number of organizations.
