As a result Allison Corson is the newest member of the OPI clinical team under the supervision of Jeffrey Kestenbaum, LCSW, OPI’s Director of Counseling Services. Allison assists Jeff with therapy groups and counseling individual participants. She also initiated a research project designed to evaluate OPI’s ability to help Participants meet new goals, achieve independence and gain greater self esteem. “I chose OPI because I didn’t know a program like this existed,” she said. “Other programs focus only on why the client is there. When they leave the program they get re-involved with old social circles and fall back into old habits. According to Robert F. Fischer, MD, OPI’s Executive Director and co-founder, OPI benefits greatly from having this teaching relationship with CSUN. “Students can provide so much to our staff, stimulating them to examine what we are doing and helping us to create unique and creative approaches to clinical issues”. The Optimum Performance Institute is a highly individualized therapeutic and educational residential program for young adults ages 17-25.
