This month’s Tourette Talk welcomes Amanda Ferriola, the director of the Tourette Syndrome clinic at Rutgers’ Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology. Along with a panel of therapists, Dr. Ferriola will give an overview on different types of evidenced-based therapy and providers in the mental health world. The panel will cover not only what to expect from evidenced-based therapy and what sessions should look like but also tips to find providers within your insurance network or submit for out of network coverage. Join us for an informative panel that will give an inside look into the world of mental healthcare.
