I recently learned about the Mood Coach app from a participant at one of my recent trainings on CBT for Depression (CBT-D). We’ve tried to include information about pertinent apps in our workshops, as we know that many of the Service members we treat find this type of technology appealing (oftentimes more so than using traditional pencil-and-paper worksheets).
Hi! I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Sharon Ela Hana Birman; not many people know I have two middle names. I am middle child with one older brother and one younger brother. I am an aunt to a beautiful little girl named Abigail. I own a little white dog – he weighs 3 lbs, but makes up for his small size with his big personality. I work as a Clinical Psychologist and love my job. Oh yeah…. And I am straight.
In recent times, there has been a significant push to validate treatment approaches using the rigor of scientific research. This welcomed addition to the field of clinical psychology has been great for the field and has met with much success. A number of evidence-based treatments (EBTs) have been scientifically researched and proven effective (efficacious) in treating several clinical disorders.

Training is something that we have all experienced as healthcare professionals. We experienced training in our academic programs, our workplace settings, through continuing education requirements to maintain our licensing credentials, or as part of our professional development. We engage in all of this training in order to achieve a desired level of competence.
