HERE'S WHAT OUR ATTENDEES ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR SWEET SEMINARS:
"In our current climate where everyone is experiencing anxiety, I learned practical tools to apply to my clients and colleagues and myself."
– Marjorie, LCSW-R
"I would recommend this webinar to my colleagues because it is essential to helping clients with anxiety. Dr. M. utilized this webinar discussing the corona virus which has heightened anxiety in our country as an example of how individuals can become truly frightened and over anxious during such a crisis. This poignantly pointed out how serious anxiety can be. The approaches to helping clients with anxiety are exceedingly helpful. Thank you."
– Mary Grace, LCSW-R
