About the author
Dr. Lavi, a Licensed Psychologist since 1978, worked & trained in the Boston area before moving to Westport, CT in 2000. She holds a Master's Degree in Clinical Child Psychology & a Doctorate in Professional Psychology.
While in Boston, she consulted to Lawrence, Methuen, Andover & Burlington public schools, was on the staff of Harvard Community Health Plan, a Harvard Medical School Affiliate, & was Clinical Director of The Delphi Center of Burlington.
Dr. Lavi founded ACT Now Psychotherapy utilizing her unique active, creative, time-sensitive approach to therapy. Creativity is an integral part of Dr. Lavi’s life & her therapeutic approach. Music, dance, writing & crafts are hobbies that have been utilized in her work with children, as well as adults. She also writes songs & has organized creativity enhancement workshops for other writers.
She tailors her work to meet each client’s unique needs. Drawing from a wide range of expertise & experience, she collaboratively develops the best therapeutic plan for each client. Clients are actively involved in the process. Time-sensitive therapy is as brief as possible, but the therapeutic relationship lasts for a lifetime. Depending on the issues addressed, some clients may be in therapy for a few months while others may come for a few years. After completing a segment of therapy, over the years, clients often return for a tune up or to consult about a new issue or life challenge. Each time a client returns, therapy tends to be briefer.
Dr. Lavi works with children & adults utilizing individual, couple, family, & group therapy. She utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy, hypnosis & EMDR. Her areas of specialization include: divorce, anxiety, fears, phobias, loss, illness & trauma. Dr. Lavi currently maintains a private practice in Weston, CT. - See more at: http://wakeupanddreamchallenge.com/bio.html#sthash.8UZTnQWs.dpuf

As much as I loved the stories of resiliency (a subject, I also have written a book about), I especially enjoyed the stories of Dr. Lavi's family and their dreams and strategies towards individual and family goals. This is a book I will re-read and then share with the young college interns who work with me. Many need this sort of plan and direction in order to find their dreams in life.
The non-profits listed were of great interest and some I will follow up with soon.
Judy Helm Wright aka "Auntie Artichoke", author and speaker
Barbara Lavi is the type of person that helps people realize their dreams no matter how bad their circumstances might seem. She believes that despair and depression can be avoided if you have hope and a dream. In this book she presents interesting case studies that show you how others have made their dreams come true. This book discusses things like magical thinking, goal setting and how to turn off your inner critic. Half the book is about fulfilling your dreams and half is about creative nonprofit organizations.
~The Rebecca Review
I received a free copy of this book for review. This review is my honest opinion.
Praise for Dr. Lavi for helping others. Her selfless donation of the proceeds to benefit Non-Profits that help others achieve their dreams is unprecedented. If more people thought of others before themselves like this, the world would be a better place.
