Hello, Everyone. This is an exciting project. It's just a 15-25 minute survey. And although it's somewhat about table-top gaming, the researcher NEEDS PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT GAMERS AS MUCH AS THOSE WHO ARE! It's about your sense of self - identity and social habits and mental health. SEE BELOW....

Melinda La Brie, M.A. is conducting an online research study (and looking for participants!) for her doctoral dissertation, examining the benefits of tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs), specifically the impact TTRPGs have on social wellness and identity wellness. The survey is anonymous, includes a prize raffle, and should take between 15 and 25 minutes.

This is a really cool and timely dissertation study (and I am biased :)).

I'll be presenting "Crucial Interventions: Balancing Professional Boundaries and Essential Support in Medical Settings" Saturday April 5 at this conference for clinicians and students. There will be others throughout the day. I will outline a case of significant complexity and how to straddle between psychotherapy and medical settings and personnel. If you are interested in attending for CPD credits or general interest, feel free to contact the organizers via the info on the flyer. It's a chill kind of conference - small and intimate at the University in Alhambra.

Hi, there. I am now taking reservations and payments for my Private Practice Seminar. Simply email me at dr.richardlabrie@gmail.com and I'll give you payment options. Here's the flyer!
Trainees and colleagues who have used these basic techniques have moved onto their own practices earning a range of monthly incomes from $10,000 to $20,000, using mostly a private-pay or mixed insurance approach. My own practice, with just me as the clinician, performs at higher numbers. I'll also discuss group practice and trainee approaches. The seminar takes place on zoom on February 22, 2025 from 10am-2pm.

HI, there, I've once again been asked to promote a course, via my face and words, presented on February 1st, 2025 by the Our Institute. Please excuse the face and words.

The importance of mental health services for those with complex medical conditions, while recognized, often takes a back seat in the medical decision-making process. While we are uniquely qualified to add perspectives crucial to patient well-being, providers need to be creative and, at times asserti...

A few months back I presented a Psychology Continuing Education seminar on gun violence. It's now available as a 2 hour online class. And I'm supposed to promote it. So I am. I do not profit from this continuing online version, but I was paid for the original material.
