Southwestern Oregon Community College Invites Locals to Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy Talk with Dr. Debbie Joffe Ellis

Southwestern Oregon Community College's Psychology Department and Associated Student Government will host international guest speaker, Dr. Debbie Joffe Ellis, on May 7, 2024. The event will be held from 5:00 to 6:00 pm in Eden Hall room 1 on the Coos Campus, via Zoom. Dr. Ellis will discuss the work of her late husband, Dr. Albert Ellis, a psychology pioneer and the creator of Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT).

REBT is an approach that yields beneficial results due to its practical tools and philosophy of kindness and compassion. Dr. Albert Ellis used his life to challenge injustices and societal norms, contributing to various social causes.

She is a licensed psychologist, mental health counselor, presenter, writer, and adjunct professor at Columbia University.
