📢 Excited to Share! I’m honored to be presenting From Money Stress to Financial Intimacy: Collaborative Pathways Between Therapists, Financial Therapists, and Financial Planners at BASE Cognitive Behavioral Education Series on Friday, February 20, 2026 in Charlotte, NC. Money is one of the most common – and most challenging – areas of stress in relationships, yet it often gets sidelined in both therapy and financial planning. In this session, we’ll explore how financial dynamics are deeply relational and how we can shift from conflict and avoidance toward shared understanding and financial intimacy. 🎯 What We’ll Cover: Evidence-based insights into how financial stress impacts relationship satisfaction and stability. How attachment patterns and money behaviors intersect in couples. Practical tools like financial dashboards and goal maps to help partners build shared understanding. Ethical collaboration strategies between therapists and financial professionals. This program is designed for licensed psychologists and mental health professionals looking to deepen their competency in addressing money-related issues and working collaboratively across disciplines. If you work with couples, families, or individuals navigating money stress, I’d love to connect with you there. ✨ Andrea Umbach, Psy.D., ABPP thank you so much for the invitation.
