Sun. Oct 29 10:30am – Psychotherapy in theory and practice: how do various approaches work?

Our speaker next Sunday will be Lindsay Kochen.

This presentation will discuss the theory and practice behind various psychotherapeutic approaches and how different models can help to alleviate emotional pain and facilitate growth. Each approach is informed by its theory of what our distress may stem from. In practice, there is overlap between approaches, but having an understanding of various options can be useful when deciding how to proceed with our own personal work.

Lindsay is a therapist at a mindfulness-based clinic in downtown Toronto, where she specializes in treating trauma. She has been working in the mental health field for the last decade in both community settings and the private sector. Lindsay’s education includes a Master’s degree in clinical social work from Wilfrid Laurier University, a Masters in sociology from the London School of Economics and Political Science, and a BA in psychology, anthropology, and semiotics from the University of Toronto. She continues to train in and study healing models that address the mind, body, emotions, and spirit.

Our musical performer will be singer songwriter Dana Sipos.

We will be meeting in the 1st floor auditorium this week, rather than our usual 2nd floor space.
