Workshops for Counselors and Continuing Education on Internet Addiction 

Dr. Kimberly Young is a nationally-known author, speaker, and pioneer in the field of Internet addiction. Given the newness of the disorder, therapists often feel unprepared to properly treat the problem, and in our technology-driven culture, symptoms of Internet addiction are easily masked. Dr. Young provides toolkits and workshops to train mental health practitioners in diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of Internet addiction.
 

Toolkits and Workshops teach therapists:

  • How to diagnose Internet addiction with specialized assessment tools.
  • How Internet addiction relates to co-occurring conditions and mood disorders.
  • The relationship between chemical dependency and problematic Internet use.
  • How to promote healthy strategies to increase social activities for clients.
  • How to develop a comprehensive psychosocial treatment plan.
  • How to deal Internet sex addiction in marriage counseling and family therapy.
  • How to help clients avoid relapse.
