Talking About Our Tourette's:

for Adults 30 and Over

Tuesday, March 21 at 7:00 p.m.

“Talking About Our Tourette's” will be an open forum for and by adults with Tourrette’s Syndrome and will be facilitated by Dr. Jeremy Lichtman.

Self-advocacy begins with finding ways to make ourselves understood to people who do not share our experiences. Day to day interactions with employers, coworkers, clients, and medical professionals can become more comfortable when we are able to reliably communicate our needs and considerations.

Our panel of adults in their 30s with TS will discuss methods we can use to explain what our TS is and what it means to us.

Because this program will be personal in nature and does not involve a presentation component, it will not be recorded and posted to the TS Talk archive.

Jeremy Lichtman, PsyD, is a licensed psychologist, visiting clinical supervisor at Rutgers University’s Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology (GSAPP), and the director and founder of Central Therapy. Dr. Lichtman specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Tourette Syndrome, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders (OCD), Anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders (ADHD). He also specializes in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for adolescents experiencing mood disorders, emotional dysregulation, self-injurious behaviors, and suicidality. Through his work in school-based counseling and private practice, Dr. Lichtman has developed an expertise in counseling adolescents through social and academic difficulties— with particular focus on those exhibiting self-injurious behaviors.

Tourette Talks are designed for open discussions and the exchange of information and ideas and are a safe space for frank dialogue. Bring your questions and get the conversation going.
