Nutrition and Mental Health

$249.99 Standard

“You are what you eat.”

When our clients come to us wanting help with their mood, energy levels, concentration, and other symptoms...

...our therapeutic efforts are thwarted when their diets are filled with highly processed foods, sugary soft drinks, and caffeine.

What if you could talk with clients about the impact of nutrition on their mental health in easy-to-understand ways – and then actually help motivate them to make and stick with changes that result in improvements to their mental health?

Nutrition might be the missing piece of the puzzle on your path to achieving better treatment outcomes. Watch Kathleen Zamperini, LPC, CIMHP, for this groundbreaking training that will give you the skills you need to:

  • Utilize the latest assessments for tracking the impact of food on mood
  • Implement CBT and MI-based solutions to common reasons clients have trouble making pro-health changes
  • Bring nutrition into therapy ethically and safely, while staying within your scope of practice

PURCHASE TODAY to harness the power of nutrition in your practice!
