Feeling Good Psychotherapy to host free virtual summit on self-doubt

Feeling Good Psychotherapy will hold a free online summit Oct. 24 bringing nine therapists together for sessions on the inner critic, self-compassion and core beliefs. The event is designed to help adults understand and soften self-doubt, and includes a workbook and live Q&A.

Why it matters: - Self-doubt can shape how people see their worth, relationships and daily choices. - The summit is free and virtual, which makes it accessible to attendees across multiple states. - The event focuses on practical themes: the inner critic, self-compassion, trauma, shame, values and support for transgender and nonbinary youth.

What happened: - Feeling Good Psychotherapy will host the You Are Enough Summit on Saturday, Oct. 24, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET. - The White Plains, New York-based practice is bringing nine therapists together for the event. - The practice offers online therapy in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, plus several Southeastern states. - Dr. Elise Munoz, founder and clinical director of Feeling Good Psychotherapy, said she has spent nearly 30 years working with people who appear successful but still feel not good enough.

The details: - The summit is centered on healing self-doubt and understanding the inner critic. - Therapists at the practice say early experiences and a culture that ties worth to achievement can shape that inner voice. - Sessions will examine core beliefs behind feeling “not good enough.” - Other sessions will look at how self-doubt shows up in the body through mindfulness, Buddhist psychology and yoga. - Additional topics include trauma, cultural pressure, shame, values, relationships and support for transgender and nonbinary youth. - The presenters are Kristine Samonte, LMSW; Lee Ann Genussa, LCSW; Kelli O’Donnell, LMSW; Maria Cristina Latorre, LMSW; Kate O’Grady, LMSW; Rachel Mitaritonna, LCSW; Amanda Massa, LCSW; Juliana Cousins, LMHC; and Dr. Munoz. - Dr. Munoz is a Master Level 5 TEAM-CBT therapist and trainer and adjunct faculty at NYU Silver. - Registrants will receive the free You Are Enough workbook. - Attendees can join a live question-and-answer session with Dr. Munoz. - The summit is educational and is not a substitute for therapy. - Anyone in crisis can call or text 988 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Between the lines: - The event package suggests the practice is positioning self-doubt as both a clinical issue and a broader cultural one. - The mix of therapy, mindfulness and body-based approaches signals an effort to meet people where they are, not just through traditional talk therapy. - Dr. Munoz’s comment frames the summit as a team-wide message of reassurance rather than a single-provider webinar.

What's next: - Registration is open online. - People can also contact the practice at (212) 335-1612. - Feeling Good Psychotherapy says its services are available online to clients in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Florida. - The practice says it accepts major insurance plans. - More information is available through the practice's LinkedIn page, Instagram account and Facebook page.
