Half-day Brunch-Workshops

These are Sunday morning meetings of about 40-60 members where senior cognitive-behavioral therapists speak on topics in which they have specialized knowledge and expertise. These events begin with a full, hot brunch, and some time is set aside for getting to know like-minded colleagues from around the State. Recent topics have included Obsessions & Compulsions, Couple Therapy, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Panic, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Social Phobia.
