Downtown Drs. Brown

We all are involved in a variety of relationships, but have we been taught how to have healthy and satisfying relationships?  From our spouses to siblings to co-workers, conflict can arise in any relationship and stressful relationships can negatively impact every area of our lives. Join us virtually to learn how to navigate difficult conversations and enhance our relationships with proven tools and techniques based on the research of Dr. John Gottman. Dr. Gottman is listed as one of the Top 10 Most Influential Therapists of the past quarter-century by the Psychotherapy Networker and is author or co-author of over 200 published academic articles and more than 40 books.

Missy Ammerman is a therapist who specializes in anxiety, depression and relationship issues. She has over 20 years of experience treating individuals and couples. Her office is located in downtown Lexington in Dudley Square. We hope to “see” you on June 24 at 12 pm!

As daylight hours wane and the holiday season approaches, what better time to evaluate if we are giving enough to ourselves as we continue to give so much to everyone around us?! Lunch will be served.
