This April brings new beginnings with our NEW Master Mind Sessions here at the Master Center in Southlake. Please note, our behavior modification sessions will look, feel and sound a little different than in the past sessions. The NEW Master Mind Sessions. will be here in the office reception area on the 2nd Tuesday of every month. The purpose of these exciting new sessions is to provide valuable self-development and group coaching with more structure. They include "mind tools", handouts, experiential processes, weekly homework and will employ a buddy system. To maximize the benefits of this new program we have combined our PALSS (Patients after Lap-Band and Sleeve Surgery) Support Group Meetings with our behavior modification efforts to create these Master Mind Sessions. 

Our yearly cost is the same as it has been previously, and the Master Mind Sessions will be added for those who have already signed up for their yearly follow-up at no additional charge.
