✨ “Ethics covered in such a fresh, interesting way. The perspectives and discussions were quite helpful in understanding how they pertain to each person individually. “ - Megan Davis, LPCC

Two in-person workshops coming up in July. 12 CEUs total.
$125–$175 + GRT per workshop | Breakfast & lunch included Limited spots

📅 July 10 | Ethics & Values Unwoven | 6 Ethics in Cultural Awareness CEUs
Separating our personal beliefs from our ethical obligations can be harder than it sounds. Most of us learned ethics as a set of rules. What we did not always get was help figuring out where
the rules end and our own worldview begins.

📅 July 13 | Culture, Identity, and Clinical Practice | 6 Ethics in Cultural Awareness CEUs
How does your cultural background, identity, and lived experience shape your clinical work? This workshop explores that intersection.

🌿 A sincere thank you to everyone who joined yesterday's workshop. It was a genuinely dynamic group, and the willingness to reflect honestly and show up fully, for yourselves and for this work, made the day what it was. I do not take lightly the opportunity to be in that room with you. Grateful for the work we get to do together. 🙏

🌿 Most of us are trained to gain knowledge about communities other than our own. That knowledge is important. It is also incomplete.

We examine culture, identity, and lived experience as they show up in clinical work. Each workshop is structured for discussion, reflection, and honest exchange.

🔑 We use the word "safe" a lot in this profession. Safe space, safe enough, creating safety. What are we actually talking about?

For so many of the people we work with, safety is not an internal experience they have access to. It is a concept we keep naming for those who have not experienced it.

🧭 Healing-centered practice asks us to look beyond the behavior. What happened? What was needed? What did they learn to do without it? Day 1 is full. Days 2 and 3 still have space.

📅 April 24th: Healing-Centered Practice: Core Concepts and Approaches
📅 April 25th: Anchored in Uncertainty: Navigating the Unexpected in Therapy

9:30am-4:30pm | 6-12 CEUs | Small group | Sliding scale | $125–$175 + GRT
