Vroman’s Bookstore: Teen Mindfulness Workshop with Jamie D. Roberts
Join us in the Vroman’s Event Space for an afternoon of mindfulness, creativity, and self-expression designed just for teens!
In this free interactive event, teens ages 13–18 will explore emotion regulation, identity, and the art of showing up authentically through a hands-on expressive art activity that is equal parts creative and meaningful. We all wear different masks depending on who we are around, and this event allows us to explore these roles we play. What does it feel like to be fully yourself? Who do you let in? This is a space to reflect, create, and just breathe. No experience necessary, just bring yourself.
Leading the event is Jamie Roberts, LMFT, therapist, author, and the person behind @neurodivergenttherapist. Jamie has spent over fourteen years working with teens and is the author of Mindfulness for Teen Anxiety and Neurodiversity for Teen Girls, two books written to help teens understand themselves better and feel a little less alone in the process. Both books will be available for purchase at the event.
Jamie is also the founder of Equilibrium Counseling Services, a teen and young adult mental health center in Southern California where all identities and brains are celebrated. She also founded NeuroPebble, a neuroaffirming clinical training platform. She is the Neurodivergent Therapist throughout social media and is an active speaker on neurodivergent, teen and LGBTQIA+ topics. Jamie is inspired by Ayesha Saddiqi’s quote, “Become the person you needed when you were younger.”
