Alison in the News
Dr. Alison Mitzner was featured in the Fall issue of Bella Magazine.
The weather is finally starting to cool down just in time for the upcoming holiday season. Our schedules? Not as much. As the holidays can be merry and bright for some, for others the holiday season can be a major stressor, especially parents. Parents are often bombarded with gift lists from the kids, planning winter break vacations while the kids are home, and heightened interactions with family, including some extended family members that they did not want to see this year. Expectations of parents are extra high this time of year, but that does not mean they are not capable of tackling the busy calendar while staying calm and collected.

As a career practitioner, I’ve seen tons of "rules" get broken, and it always makes me want to delve into the theoretical side of why they exist in the first place.
