Mindful Path is thrilled to host local RO-DBT expert, Michael Maslar Psy.D. from the Family Institute at Northwestern University. In this one day workshop, you will learn powerful techniques that can enhance your clinical skills with clients who may be overly controlled, perfectionistic, have treatment resistant anxiety and depression, anorexia nervosa, inhibited expression, and who may be risk avoidant, exhibit distress over-tolerance, and covert expression of hostility.
