Dr. Atina Manvelian

AI can’t replace me, because of my capacity for REI (Relational Emotional Intelligence). I’m a psychologist, professor, & scientist. I can transform conflict into connection. We need to start teaching REI skills in school like our future jobs depend on it. Who is in this space?

Claude “Cowork” can now be your personal assistant. It can access apps like your gmail/excel to run tasks for you. How is our education system responding to this? What will it mean to be prepared for tomorrow’s world? What skills will be important to teach?

We’re recruiting a new Director for @uarizona's Behavioral Health Clinic, a core member of our clinical faculty who will help lead clinical training at the U of A. Search committee is aware the ideal person might be someone who is about to start internship so please share widely!

📣 Folks! We are hiring 3 TT positions at Santa Clara University in the bay for our amazing counseling program! 40% research, 40% teaching, & 20% service. I absolutely love working here and would recommend you apply if interested. Deadline is Oct 1st! jobs.chronicle.com/job/37871801/t…

“People say your start-up dies when you run out of money. That’s not true. Your start-up dies when you give up.” - Nader Khalil @NaderLikeLadder

@JSchleiderPhD Fingers crossed for you!!!!!!!!

NIH P50/Center grant officially (internally) submitted. 725 pages. WHEW. What an awesome, brilliant group of humans I get to work with. No matter what happens I'm so proud of what we dreamed up together. Also, as a fun bonus, individual R01s feel much less overwhelming now. 😂

@NaderLikeLadder @agora_io @brevdev @0xishand @athreesh @tmonty_12 Congrats!!! That is so exciting!

Today Brev is acquiring @agora_io A couple months ago, a competitor signed up for Brev. I reached out to see if there are ways we could work together We signed mNDAs, saw identical roadmaps, started working together, had a clear culture fit. They hit the next flight to SF 🤙

@DepressionLab Isn’t it the best!!!? I miss Tucson!

@AtinaManvelian et al. #OnlineFirst tested whether emotionally focused mentorship promoted attachment security and well-being during the transition to college, pairing insecurely attached first-year college students with securely attached mentors: doi.org/10.1177/026540…

@JoeBiden President Biden. Please help the Armenians in Artsakh. Please push Azerbaijan to back away from trying to take their land. Land that you have to kill for is not your land.

While Donald Trump takes credit for killing Roe v. Wade and would sign a national abortion ban, we will always fight to protect a woman’s freedom to choose.

@dsbarra @Savvboyd @Kareylo Thanks for sharing, Dave!

📢I am a clinical psychologist in the Bay Area accepting new clients! I offer in-person & online therapy as well as executive/life coaching. I work with teens, adults, & couples/families. Message me for more info or for a free 15-min consultation call. atinamanvelian.com

I actually think there are 3 things we can change in therapy. You can (1) change your environment, (2), change your internal psychology, views, skills, and (3) change how you interact with aspects of your environment that you can't change.

@sarenseeley @Chops310 Definitely true for me! I see things in a different light now. Fascinating!

@Chops310 @AtinaManvelian this is so interesting!

How parents treat us as children is likely important, based on research and the questions some therapists ask clients. It’s in the past, so people should report the same memories about their childhood if you ask them twice….right? A thread! OA: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… 1/17

@JSchleiderPhD @NURadiology @DavidLPayneMD Yay congrats!!!!! 🎉🎊🎈

SO PROUD. @NURadiology won the lottery. @DavidLPayneMD is the kindest, most brilliant human + future neuroradiologist in this world. (This was our 3rd match total—1 for me, 2 for him. It was hard. But the joy of being done & landing in the same place for good is indescribable)
