Austin, Texas
$50 per person for appetizer, dinner, speaker

You’re invited to an eye-opening evening of honest conversation about what’s really happening in mental healthcare — how over-diagnosis has led to the over-medicalization of everyday emotional and behavioral struggles, and how a holistic approach is changing lives in ways pharmaceuticals simply can’t.

About Mary & Cyndi

Mary Parker, LPC-S is a licensed counselor, functional mental health practitioner, and author of Wired for the Wild: How ADHD Is Your Biological Superpower. With years of clinical experience supporting children and families navigating ADHD, Mary has developed a root-cause approach that integrates evolutionary biology, nutrition, nervous system science, and genetic individuality.  She brings to every conversation the fire of a clinician who has fought for families, the precision of a researcher who has read the data, and the heart of a mother who has lived it.

Cyndi Collen, LCSW-S is a licensed clinical social worker, certified integrative mental health professional, and founder of Flourish Holistic Mental Wellness and the Mindful Wellness Center of Austin. A clinician and educator with hundreds of successful client outcomes, Cyndi champions holistic, somatic, and integrative approaches to anxiety and depression — and trains fellow therapists on the critical gap between SSRI research findings and what patients and providers are actually told.

About the Talk

Mary & Cyndi tackle one of modern medicine’s most pressing controversies — the over-medicalization of depression and ADHD. They dismantle the widely-promoted chemical imbalance theory, expose the hidden risks of psychiatric medications that patients are never told about, and make the case for holistic and functional approaches that deliver real, lasting results — without the prescription pad. They’ll also break down emerging policy efforts aimed at reining in psychiatric overmedication.
