Kat Harris, PhD
“There are many ways being an ADAA member benefits my work. I own a practice called OakHeart, Center for Counseling, Mediation, and Consultation. I treat primarily individuals with OCD and Anxiety Disorders on an outpatient basis. I also supervise students and mentor licensed professionals who have an interest in specializing in exposure based interventions for OCD and Anxiety. Therefore, as a practice owner, clinician, supervisor, and mentor, it is critical that I continue my education. ADAA provides opportunities for continued education in so many ways! Between the conference, special interest groups, webinars, and journal access, I am able to feel confident in my ability to treat OCD and Anxiety and teach others to do so as well.”

 Pro-Bono Opportunities with WithTherapy.com
WithTherapy.com is a project that therapists and mental health technology professionals are developing. They're working to change how hard it is to find a therapist.
For now, they're utilizing a beta version of their intelligent therapy search platform to build something never tried before — an agile emergency safety net of mental health providers who are donating time-limited pro-bono services.
Their goal is to effectively mobilize and organize the talents of private practitioners within our communities and country like never before. If you're willing and able to donate pro-bono services, they take into account your specialties and availability and match you to someone seeking emergency mental health support help in your state. They've also created two special initiatives to support those who are at the frontline fighting two foes: COVID and racial injustice.
If you’re interested, please consider signing up and letting your colleague know about it too. Contact Brad Brenner, PhD (bradbrenner@therapygroupdc.com) with questions.

The 10-year-old girl was afraid that her American Girl dolls — buried in the bedroom closet — would come alive and attack her. As the girl pointed her iPad at the scary closet door in a remote therapy session, her therapist, Daniela Owen, was able to coach her in real-time to conquer the fear of the dolls.
“This wouldn’t have been as effective in my office,” Dr. Owen, a psychologist based in Oakland, later explained. “Being able to do the exposure in her room was so much more powerful.”
Dr. Owen, like the overwhelming majority of therapists, switched from in-person to remote therapy during the coronavirus shutdown. According to a recent survey from the American Psychological Association, three-quarters of clinicians are doing only teletherapy, and another 16 percent are doing a combination of remote and in-person sessions.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals who report high levels of loneliness, pandemic-related worries, and low tolerance to distress are more likely to have high clinical levels of depression, according to results published in Psychiatry Research. High family support and self-reported psychological resilience, as well as being Asian American or Hispanic/Latino, were associated with a reduced likelihood of having depression during this period.

We've all done it before — the incessant scrolling through Instagram and Twitter that seems to bring about feelings of inadequacy — a habit that experts call “doomscrolling” or “doomsurfing.”
This behavior, which Mirriam-Webster defines as the "tendency to continue to surf or scroll through bad news, even though that news is saddening, disheartening, or depressing” has only worsened as 2020 churns out COVID-19 panic, police brutality sparking country-wide protests and the upcoming November presidential election.

There is a simmering tension between young people's desire to gather socially and the growing threat from the coronavirus in the United States. The virus is now infecting more people in their teens and 20s than it had earlier in the pandemic, and that's contributing to outbreaks, especially in states in the South and West. As a result, public health officials are imploring young adults to limit social contact and take precautions to help protect their more vulnerable elders. But many young people see continued social isolation as a much greater risk than COVID-19 to their own mental health.

In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, anxiety and depression are striking many in the LGBTQ+ community for the first time, researchers say.
"What I was hearing at the beginning of the pandemic was that people who were already anxious were more anxious than ever, and we didn't find that," said researcher Annesa Flentje, an assistant professor in the University of California, San Francisco School of Nursing.
"In looking at averages across the LGBTQ+ population, we found the greatest changes in anxiety were among people who weren't anxious prior to the pandemic," she said in a university news release.
