This is a group for anyone who enjoys giving and receiving massages, learning about different types of massage and how to give them. Each one of our meet ups will start with a Licensed Massage Therapist giving an instructional presentation on types and techniques of massage. Following that we'll give the group an opportunity to meet, mingle and find a partner to exchange massages with and practice some of the styles and techniques of massages we've learned from the speaker.

The purpose of this group is to help our society become aware that a large proportion of licensed experts in clinical psychology are incompetent, manipulative, fraudulent, deceitful, or otherwise corrupt. If someone you know has not healed after a long time in therapy, then please discourage them from persisting or from blaming themselves, and instead consider the likelihood that the therapist is incompetent or even malfeasant, especially if he or she uses a psychoanalytic/psychodynamic approach …

I am a speech-language pathologist currently working in a private special needs school in New York City. My experience has taught me that the greatest hope we have in helping children and teens with special needs is working together - parents, educators, therapists, siblings, doctors. Though we are all in this together, many often feel isolated. Many do not have enough information on how to navigate the day-to-day as well as the future ahead. Many feel overwhelmed with too much information. I am …

True flexibility is accompanied by strength throughout the range and in all planes of motion. Our workshop introduces the Ki-Hara method of resistance stretching. This technique, popularized by Olympic swim star, Dara Torres, combines strength, flexibility and core work. It is a total workout that is fast becoming a staple for swimmers, runners, bikers, yog …

“I am so frustrated with dating!” “Why do I always meet the wrong person?” “It’s so hard to meet someone in New York”. “I feel like I just settle for someone because it’s better than being alone.” As a therapist, I hear these questions routinely.  But, sometimes it seems the person asking the question presents it from a place of resignation, as if things could never change for them.  If you start by believing that things can change, then you’ve done yourself a big favor.  The next questions is w …

This is an ongoing weekly therapy/support group for people living with physical illness starting in the spring of 2010 run by Dr. David B. Younger, licensed psychologist and group therapist, specializing in working with people with physical illnesses and their loved ones.

What is "The Art of Active Networking" and why do we do it? There was a recent article suggesting this staggering statistic: “Given the opportunity, over 70 percent of ALL people are not happy with their job, career or with what they are doing…and given the opportunity would change it!” Seems like a whole lot of people who do not love what they do when they wake up in the morning. With so many people unhappy, searching for jobs, shifting jobs, building their business, practice or consultancy a …

If you are alive, you have experienced some form of pain, or something that happened to you or around you caused an echo inside of you that you can not quiet or change. Maybe something happened that altered your entire life, including your ability to love, experience life meaningfully, or be able to be connected to the things and people that once mattered to you. Within you - a wall was built or a separation. Or fears tell you how to live and what to do now. Or something you believed to be true …

Thoughts are at the root of our emotions, actions, and are what help us to make sense of life. At the same time, thinking thoughts is the fastest way to lose touch with reality, create misunderstanding, and feel out of control. Learning how to balance the mind starts with learning how to identify and dissolve the hypnosis of thought. Here, we can construct healthier thoughts, better guide emotions, communicate clearer, and make decisions that actually align with honest intentions. Open Focus Tra …

New Yorkers like choices. We love venturing outside the medical mainstream. But we've been stymied a bit. NYC's 85-plus modalities are currently weighted disproportionately towards therapeutics. Few discovery techniques based on natural biomarkers are available to practitioners and users. That's where Iridology shines. Learn what you will be able to do, empowered by familiarity with precisely what the diagnostic marks (yes, they do all have meaning) in your eyes mean. Join us if you ar …
