This group will work to understand how these issues influence or affect one's ability to complete graduate school. For more information contact Dr. Kane at 206-221-2449 or mkanew@u.washington.edu

A Mindful Approach to Anxiety: Thursday evenings, 4:00-5:30pm beginning October 7, 2010. This group focuses on teaching mindfulness as a means of becoming aware of thoughts, feelings and behaviors that lead us to define and identify ourselves as anxious. The goal of this mindful approach is to learn how to better manage our uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, not by attempting to control or avoid them, but by inquiring deeply into them and accepting them. If you are interested in learning more about the group, please contact Jane Mortell, MA, LMHC, at jmorte@uw.edu, or Michaela Wehner, BA, M.Ac., at mwehner@uw.edu.

Cost of all groups: $30 per session ($40 No Show Fee without 24 hour notice). Insurance may cover fees, please check with your insurance carrier.
