Your women clients have been saying “yes” to everything and everyone. They’ve turned away from their own needs and gotten lost in others’. And even though they may feel the negative effects of exhaustion, depletion, and burnout – self-abandonment is a hard habit to break.
In this session, Drs. Avery Hoenig, Lucy Smith, and Jamie Wilson – authors of Overcoming Self-Abandonment – will give you the tools you need to help clients reclaim their identity. You’ll learn:
Dr. Avery Hoenig moved from Jackson, Mississippi, to Dallas in 1996 to attend Southern Methodist University and quickly found a home in the city she loves. She went on to earn her PhD in clinical psychology from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in 2004. In her private practice, Avery specializes in supporting college students and women throughout their life span as they navigate life transitions, anxiety, and depression.
Avery believes in the importance of connection, growth, and joy both inside and outside of her practice. She enjoys kayaking with her husband and teenager, listening to live music, and winding down with the comfort of a weighted blanket. To learn more about Avery, visit draveryhoenig.com
Dr. Lucy Smith earned a Master’s in Clinical/Counseling Psychology from Southern Methodist University in 2003 and a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2008. In her private practice, Lucy specializes in the treatment of eating disorders. With a deep appreciation for mindfulness and embodied practices, she offers compassionate care that helps clients reconnect with themselves and find freedom from anxiety, perfectionism, and not-enoughness.
Beyond her work, Lucy treasures time with her family and pets, enjoys getting lost in a good book, and delights in the rare gift of a day with nothing on the calendar. To learn more about Lucy, visit drlucysmith.com.
