Discover Your 'Blind Spots'
We all have our blind spots – it’s hard to see choices and possible solutions by ourselves. A psychologist can help find new ways to view problems and generate alternatives that work for you.
Learn New Strategies to Increase Well-being
A good friend can listen, but a psychologist can help you learn new skills to help yourself when you are feeling overwhelmed or are unsure how to make changes or move forward.
Manage Stress and Relationships
Learn new ways to navigate difficulties and find strategies to join against a problem or join with your partner against problems that arise in your relationship. For more research-based relationship tools, explore The Gottman Institute Blog.
Improve Your Relationship with Food
Have you ever found yourself having a “snaccident?” Eating more than you anticipated, often mindlessly? You’re not alone! Everyone eats for reasons other than hunger – we often soothe with food or eat when stressed. Learn more here.
Join Dr. Liz Chamberlain to learn evidence-supported, hands-on tools and strategies to support the habits that can contribute to success in managing weight.
All workshops will be held virtually via Zoom from 4-5 p.m. on the 2nd Tuesday of the month. 15 minutes for Q&As will also be available for participants.
