爱，也是一种能力，也需要技巧。
亲密关系是彼此通往灵魂的桥梁，
如何掌握与如何管理亲密关系，
决定着我们是否能够理性地找到感性中的因果关系，
找到规律并理解个体的独特情感，理解交流的无奈，从而更好地彼此相处。
5月29日让我们与来自加州大学伯克利分校资深心理咨询师的Dr. Cynthia Medina一起探索亲密关系这片广袤而神秘的土地吧！
本次工作坊将通过理论讲解、团体讨论等方式，与参与者一起探讨如何发展和管理自己生命中重要的亲密关系，包括但不局限于伴侣关系、亲子关系等。欢迎大家一起来探讨交流。

Dr. Cynthia Medina identifies as a bilingual and bicultural, social justice oriented psychologist. She is a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of California and has worked at a variety of university counseling centers for approximately 14 years. Dr. Medina earned her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Oregon, and completed her doctoral internship and postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, Berkeley, where she is currently a senior staff psychologist for the Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS).
Her professional experiences have been shaped by her commitment to social justice and multicultural psychology. She has focused her efforts on: working with, and improving the college experience of, underserved and marginalized communities; systemic change/challenging the status quo; multicultural organizational development; multicultural outreach and consultation. She is actively involved in scholarship and professional membership as well, and has multiple national conference presentations in the areas of Latinx mental health and academic persistence, cross-cultural mentoring, microaggressions and resiliency of people of color in academia, and cultural considerations in supervision and training. Dr. Medina has also held various leadership positions, including her current role as Chair of the Diversity Committee for the Alameda County Psychological Association, a local chapter of the California Psychological Association.
As a therapist, she is passionate about helping individuals increase their awareness, self-compassion, and understanding about how past and current experiences impact our sense of who we are, our identity development, and our ability to form healthy attachments and overall well-being in life. Her approach to therapy is relational and collaborative, and she draws on attachment theory and multicultural principles which value the understanding of how early experiences, relational patterns, cultural values and context impact how one copes with and overcomes life's difficulties. She uses psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness and harm reduction strategies to help clients raise their consciousness, as well as develop and use coping strategies to work to their personal, relational, educational, vocational and social potential. Her clients and co-workers describe her as warm, genuine, and grounded in social justice values.
