Be Impactful by Impact Fashion Rivky Itzkowitz: Founder at Impact Fashion

Rivky sits down with Mindy Blumenfeld, LCSW, a therapist and writer,  to discuss her newest book based on her experiences having a son in the hospital with brain cancer. She shares why she loves hospitals, why it was important to her not to keep her son's illness a secret, and why it's improtant to say brain tumor explicitly.
Mindy Blumenfeld, a trauma therapist, is a licensed clinical social worker in private practice. She is certified in EMDR, Somatic Experiencing as well as trained in IFS and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. She works through a lens of attachment and how early experiences impact human development. Her other passions are speaking and writing, using both to educate her audiences about therapy, meaningful living, and relationships. She is a columnist for Binah Magazine and author of Therapy Shmerapy and her new children’s picture book, Hillel and the Paper Menschies. She also loves rollerblading, yoga, and her grandchildren (yeah, she's that old). To contact her for speaking engagements, workshops, or just to say hi, visit her website at www.mindyblumenfeld.com.
