Wit & Reason with Dr. Alexis Moreno

We put Dr. Alexis' psychological know-how to the test in this fast-paced, Random Question: Speed Round! Listen in as Dr. Alexis demonstrates the expansive training, diverse practice, and multifaceted knowledge Psychologists acquire by the time they have that degree in hand. Dr. Alexis breaks down the differences between a Psychiatrist, Coach, & Psychologist. Then, she demonstrates the diverse knowledge set of a psychologist by answering a variety of random community member questions. A few of the questions asked and answered include: Sex in relationships, sleep hygiene, dealing with stress, “open relationships,” falling in love, and resources to confirm a diagnosis for severe mental illness.
