Community of Scholars Day March 29th

Laura Balogh and I will be presenting about school inclusion for students with significant social, emotional, and behavioral challenges, at Lesley University’s Community of Scholars Day on March 29th. Lesley University is strong in education and therapy, so it’s a great place for us to talk about how our work brings both together.

The event is free to anyone and virtual, we’ll do a short session from 11:30 – 12:00.

Group psychotherapy in Arlington, starting December 7th, 2023.

Group psychotherapy is an extremely valuable, rewarding, and powerful therapy modality. Depending on the individual, it can be an alternative or complement to individual therapy.

I am starting a weekly group in Arlington on Thursday evenings from 6:00pm – 7:15pm, starting December 7th, 2023. The weekly fee is $80. There are also two individual sessions in order to prepare for the group.

It is an adult interpersonal group. This means that we will work with the understanding that our lives are experienced in large part within our relationships to others. The group is a place to develop deeper understanding of how this plays out for each of us.

Contact me if you are interested in being a member of the group.

Interview with The Thoughtful Teacher Podcast

Me and my co-author talk about our book with Dr. Scott Lee on the latest episode of The Thoughtful Teacher Podcast.

Find it wherever you get podcasts.

We talk about inclusion, relationship-based therapeutic work, counseling in schools, safety, and more.

Our book The Therapeutic Inclusion Program describes public school inclusion for students with significant social, emotional, and behavioral, challenges. Dr. Scott Lee is very experienced and knowledgeable in this realm, so it’s a quality conversation as we connect from Massachusetts to Tennessee.
