Join us for a virtual gathering with psychologist and person who stutters, Anjali Alimchandani, PhD, MPP. During this event, Dr. Alimchandani will explore the ways in which people who stutter often get stuck in cycles of anxiety and depression symptoms. In addition she will discuss therapeutic strategies and approaches to break these unhelpful cycles to support people who stutter in experiencing greater freedom and well-being with respect to their self expression.

By the end of the session you will:

• Have a better psychoeducation regarding cycles that can link stuttering, anxiety, and depression
• Get a clearer overview of ways in which psychotherapy can address these struggles
• Learn practical strategies to support people who stutter in breaking these cycles
