Opportunities for Professionals
If you are a certified health care professional in the field of Medicine, Psychology, Social Work, or other appropriately licensed discipline qualifying you to counsel patients, you are eligible to apply to be a CHAANGE Affiliated Professional as an independent practitioner. If you have first-hand experience with anxiety it's an asset, though not a prerequisite.
In my experience of over a half century as a psychologist, I see anxiety treatment as the most rewarding area of specialization. With CHAANGE, positive results are most often so evident and come about in months, not years.
Another of the advantages is that you needn't take so much session time to do all of the teaching necessary with behavioral/cognitive/educational approaches.
As a practitioner with The CHAANGE Program, you will see many advantages. The anxiety treatment methods used in the CHAANGE program do much of the teaching. You will achieve more rapid results, and you will find your sessions to be more effective and more enjoyable for both you and the participant. You will have more freedom to use methods you feel are most appropriate.
Since CHAANGE participants have the teaching materials at home which cover much of the teaching necessary in cognitive/behavioral/educational methods, you will find that your session time can be focused on creative efforts, giving a less pressured time to work in the style you enjoy and on the issues you and the participant decide are most important to explore.
Contact our office for further information, and give yourself the pleasure of reading at least one of the books about our method and view of the condition, Dancing With Fear by Dr. Paul Foxman. We are here at your service.
Sincerely,
