Only a few days left to register for our next Transitions for Parents of Young Adults (TPYA), starting this week on January 22nd. TPYA is a DBT skill-based parenting program that helps parents respond more effectively to their young adult children's more challenging emotions and behaviors. In addition to the skills taught, TPYA provides a built-in support network of other parents struggling with young adults who have not launched as hoped or expected, thus reducing feelings of isolation in parents. The young adults do not need to be in treatment, though this group was designed as a companion program to CBC's SAGE program. More details here: TPYA Program

TPYA meets Thursday mornings (virtually) from 11:00am-12:30pm (EST), for 14 weeks, with entry points every 7 weeks.

"Blue Monday" in 2026 falls on January 19, and serves as a reminder to check in on our mental health during a naturally challenging month. January presents real stressors, including shorter daylight hours , post-holiday financial strain, and the pressure of meeting New Year's resolutions. Use this day instead to shift your focus from "gloom" to proactive wellness with these tips: Maximize natural light, prioritize low intensity exercises such as walking, optimize nutrition and establish a small daily ritual to "treat" yourself.

As we head into mid-January, it’s common to become discouraged when New Year’s resolutions start to feel unrealistic or hard to maintain. Instead of setting big or lofty goals, try the DBT skill of building mastery.
Building mastery focuses on doing small and achievable tasks to help us feel capable and effective. Breaking large goals into more manageable steps can build confidence over time. For example, instead of committing to an hour at the gym every day, start with a daily 10-minute walk and check it off your to-do list. Each small win will help to reinforce your confidence and momentum towards lasting change.

Though many of us look forward to school breaks, time off can mean less structure—and that can impact mood. ❄️
Here are a few tips to help beat the winter break blues:

• Create your own routine by scheduling activities in advance
• Include a mix of activities:
– Enjoyable (TV, games, downtime)
– Accomplishing (chores, cooking, practicing a skill)
• Balance social time and independent activities
• Prioritize self-care: movement, showers, and balanced meals
• Keep a consistent sleep schedule
• Get out of the house at least once a day—even for a short walk

REGISTRATION is now open for the 2026 CBT Comprehensive Training: https://www.cbc-psychology.com/events/cbt-5-day-comprehensive-2026

This intensive 5-day CBT training program was created by Dr. Lata McGinn in response to multiple requests from clinicians across the globe seeking a comprehensive workshop on cognitive and behavioral therapies. Now in its 13th year, this unique 5-day virtual workshop covers the essentials for conceptualizing and treating patients using cognitive and behavioral therapies across disorders and ages. Clinicians who are looking to begin learning CBT or to supplement their learning previously done through self-study, workshops, or graduate studies find this 5-day workshop highly beneficial to increase their ability to apply CBT concepts and strategies in their current practice. Clinicians learn through a combination of didactics, videos, demonstrations and role plays during the workshop. Clinicians also have the opportunity to receive ongoing consultation following the training.

CBC is an approved CE provider by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. CBC is also an approved CE provider by the New York State Education Department’s State Board of Social Work to sponsor continuing education for social workers. The CBT Comprehensive also provides you with the required hours of training in CBT needed to apply to become a Certified CBT Clinician through the Academy of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies.
Feedback from 2025 CBT-Comprehensive participants:
“The CBT Comprehensive experience was not only organized and well planned, but provided invaluable resources, demonstrations, and explanations to complicated CBT principles and strategies that increased my ability to practice and utilize CBT skills in my daily work”.

“I thoroughly enjoyed this training and learned far more than I anticipated. Dr. McGinn was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I feel comfortable implementing the teachings in my practice as a therapist. This training made me feel more confident as a clinician”.
“Grateful for the opportunity to get such a broad yet detailed overview of CBT, and how to implement the intervention effectively.”
