Your Mind, Your Body

"Good health means taking care of your mind and your body. But with so much information available, it can be difficult to know the best ways to get and stay healthy. We’re writing this blog so you’ll have a credible, trusted resource to help you and your family live healthier lives.

We are psychologists, health professionals specially trained in helping people make lifestyle and behavior changes and better cope with life’s problems. Most of us have our own practices, helping people during sessions of psychotherapy. But you can also find us working in hospitals, schools, nursing homes and universities. You may even see us collaborating with physicians, helping you prevent diseases or better manage any ailments."

The Situationist

Not private practice, but of interest.  Name/mission explained:

There is a dominant conception of the human animal as a rational, or at least reasonable, preference-driven chooser, whose behavior reflects preferences, moderated by information processing and will, but little else. Laws, policies, and the most influential legal theories are premised on that same conception. Social psychology and related fields have discovered countless ways in which that conception is wrong. “The situation” refers to causally significant features around us and within us that we do not notice or believe are relevant in explaining human behavior. “Situationism” is an approach that is deliberately attentive to the situation. It is informed by social science—particularly social psychology, social cognition, cognitive neuroscience and related fields—and the discoveries of market actors devoted to influencing consumer behavior—marketers, public relations experts, and the like. The Situationist is a forum for scholars, students, lawyers, policymakers, and interested citizens to examine, discuss, and debate the effect of situational forces – that is, non-salient factors around and within us – on law, policy, politics, policy theory, and our social, political, and economic institutions.
