Happy International Self-Care Day! At CORE, we value and encourage self-care, both in and outside of work. Self-care is a vital aspect of maintaining your mental health and wellbeing and can include a wide variety of activities: exercising, creating art, listening to music, spending time in nature, eating delicious food, reading, and much more! No matter how self-care looks for you, intentionally engaging in activities that decrease stress can help allow you to show up with increased energy, resilience, and positivity in other areas of your life. How do you practice self-care?

Welcome to our newest team member, Zoey Zanowski! 🎉🎉🎉 Zoey is the Administrative Assistant for CORE. She received her BS in Psychology from Loyola University Chicago, with a minor in Women & Gender Studies. Before beginning her admin role at CORE, Zoey worked as a behavioral therapist for children with autism and as an assistant manager at a local Chicago café.

Zoey is passionate about mental health destigmatization and access to care for all those who need it. She has special interests in social, behavioral, and cognitive psychologies, examining the way that our individual experiences impact the perception of oneself, relationships with others, and the choices we make. She aspires to eventually be involved in mental health research to help improve prevention and intervention methods, particularly for those in underserved populations.

This is a topic that Dr. Rios loves teaching to graduate students! She got to present to dozens of ISPP students today at National Louis University. Students often leave grad school unprepared for exploring private practice, and we think it’s essential to make as many people informed as possible! Dr. Rios founded CORE with a collaborative, teaching approach, and she is committed to expanding that into the psychology community.

What a privilege it was for Dr. Rios to attend the IPA hosted presentation of psychology legend Dr. Janet Helms, and colleague, Dr. Anmol Satiani this week. The presentation was entitled: White Racial Identity in Clinical Practice.” Dr. Helms’ work is vital to our field and to our connection with one another as people, especially in this pivotal time in history. Dr. Rios felt honored to be asked to facilitate the breakout sessions to further enhance participant’s reflections on their own identity and growth. Let’s always keep learning!
