With rising cost of living, inflation steadily increasing and many of us looking at pay freezes help is at hand to give you some useful techniques on how to take control of your money. At the British Psychological Society's 'Psychology for All' public event, Saturday 26 March at the University of Westminster, Chartered Psychologist Mr Kim Stephenson will discuss 'Taming the pound: Using psychology to manage your money'. Kim explained: "I want to show some easy to learn psychological habits that most people have such as mental accounting, bigness bias and anchoring. This will help you understand situations in which these can cause you to lose money and, importantly, where you can use exactly the same habits of thought to your own benefit. You'll then be able to take control of your own spending, make better decisions and tame your own pound!" "If you want to get a better understanding of why you do what you do with money, how to make better choices about spending, saving and investing then this workshop is for you. It will be based on a range of psychological areas including human decision making, behavioural economics, positive psychology, goal setting, behavioural change, coaching and 'flow'."

| Posted: 26 Feb 2011 01:25 PM PST Boston, MA (PRWEB) February 26, 2011 Commonwealth Psychology Associates, LLC (CPA), one of Boston's fastest growing private behavioral health centers, announced the recent expansion of their location in the Financial District of Boston. Since 2004, the Boston-based center has provided a comprehensive range of behavioral health and psychology services including counseling and therapy, stress management training, health psychology and wellness services, ADHD testing and coaching, educational and support groups, and psychological and neuropsychological testing services. With over 20 psychologists and psychopharmacologists on staff, CPA offers an extensive range of specialty services to meet the needs of most clients. A full list of services is available by clicking Behavioral Health Services in Boston and Newton. CPA added its third location in the Financial District of Boston in August 2010, and rapidly filled to capacity by the end of the year. "While we expected the new location downtown to be busy, we have been more than pleasantly surprised by the rapid growth of our client and referral base in the Financial District," says Dr. Andrea Piatt, founder and CEO of Commonwealth Psychology Associates. She added, "our clients, who are primarily professionals who work or live in the area, have expressed appreciation for how convenient this location is – many have been able to obtain their behavioral health services immediately before or after work, or over a lunch break, which has helped them save valuable time in their daily lives." A number of physician groups in the area have taken advantage of CPA's newest location. "Physician groups appreciate being able to refer their patients to a nearby center where they know their patients' behavioral health needs will be met quickly by top notch providers," said Dr. Piatt. "One of the difficult things for physicians and clients alike is locating one site that offers all of the behavioral health services that might be needed. Often, psychologists and other mental health professionals work alone or in small groups, which limits the range of services available to clients and referring clinicians," Dr. Piatt said. However, CPA addressed this common problem by offering a breadth and depth of services that often can only be found in large clinics or hospitals. To handle the surge in demand for high-end psychological and behavioral health services in Boston, CPA recently acquired an additional 2700+ square feet of office space in their 185 Devonshire Street location, bringing their total downtown space to approximately 4200 square feet. "We have built more offices and have hired additional psychologists to meet the demand for services. Additionally, our downtown location also will now offer psychopharmacology services, which will add to the broad range of behavioral health services offered at this location," Dr. Piatt said. With this expansion, CPA hopes to be able to continue to accept new clients and referrals from physician groups in the area. "Fortunately, we were able to quickly add to our capacity so that we can continue to accept new clients and referrals from area physician groups," Dr. Piatt said. "After all, we are in the business of helping people and the first step in that process is being able to see new clients quickly, and with our expansion, we will continue to be able to do just that," she added. # # # This entry passed through the Full-Text RSS service — if this is your content and you're reading it on someone else's site, please read our FAQ page at fivefilters.org/content-only/faq.php |
