WHAT IS A MIND BODY SKILLS GROUP?
AN INVITATION: TO JOIN COLORADO’S LEADING MIND BODY GROUP
DR. GOPA MUKHERJEE
It is a pleasure to invite you to attend mind body groups led by me.
I have been practicing psychiatry for the last 18 years and teaching for the last 14 years. I have devoted the last 10
years of my professional life to learn and study mind body medicine. In February 2012, I completed my training in
the Center for mind body medicine, Washington, D.C. The Center for mind body medicine helped me augment my
psychiatry techniques with scientifically-validated mind-body medicine techniques that enhance each person’s
capacity for self-awareness and self-care to achieve optimum balance in life. I have developed the group program
that I believe best helps participants.
HOW EXPERTS DESCRIBE DR. MUKHERJEE
BOB BUCKLEY, LCSW, SR. CLINICAL SUPERVISOR CENTER FOR MIND-BODY MEDICINE, WASHINGTON, DC: Gopa has a tremendous
capacity for self-reflection and looking at her growing edges. She is an excellent group facilitator, weaving her own professional use of self with
issues that emerge from the group.
It has been a privilege and blessing for me to supervise Gopa as she completes her requirements for Certification in Mind-Body Medicine.
PETER SILVESTRI, M.D.: I have known Dr. Gopa Mukherjee for many years now, beginning when she was a student of mine during her training,
and now as a most valued colleague and trusted friend. Gopa is an unusually skilled, compassionate, experienced psychiatrist and a mature,
spiritually developed human being. I was delighted to hear she has decided to offer care integrating mind and body.
