ARE YOU IN BREACH OF YOUR PROFESSIONAL ETHICS?
You have spent your entire professional career securing and storing medical records and ensuring your clients’ confidentiality. What happens to these records when you retire, become disabled, or die?
Did you know that even if you die, your estate could be held responsible for malpractice complaints and legal actions brought about by your failure to anticipate your demise?
For psychologists, your Code of Ethics dictates that you are expected to “make reasonable efforts to plan for facilitating services in the event that psychological services are interrupted by factors such as the psychologist’s illness, death, unavailability, relocation, or retirement…” The same ethical mandate applies to Mental Health Counselors, Marriage and Family Therapists, and Social Workers.
This workshop provides information and examples of how to prepare for such a situation – creating a Professional Will and identifying a Professional Executor to handle the legal and ethical details necessary to protect yourself and your practice. If something happens to you, you need a similarly licensed professional (not your spouse or child) to deal with your clients/patients, confidential records, office leases, obtain releases, make referrals, etc. In addition, your clients/patients will likely need help in their grieving and necessary transition to another therapist.

Kinky Sex Ed and Poly 101: A One-Day, Two-Session Workshop
Presented by: B Lourenco, MA, LMHC (she/her)
When: Friday, October 16th, 2026| 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM Pacific Time

Morning Session: Kinky Sex Ed for Clinicians (9:00 AM – 12:00 PM, Pacific)
In graduate school, many programs offered a very limited education on human sexual development. The topics covered were largely typical, normative experiences. This type of education leaves out so many other ways of being and leaves large gaps in our education about alternative ways of engaging with sex and relationships. Both sessions of this one-day workshop–Kinky Sex Ed and Poly 101–are intended to help fill the gaps in clinical education and understanding. The goal is that the clinicians who attend will be more fully informed, more inclusive in their approach, and better able to support clients with “non-normative” sexual identities and experiences. Kink refers to any sexual interest or behavior that is outside what is considered normative. Research indicates that many people have explored kinks at some point in their lives, with many people having a kink as a core component of their sexual experiences. This course will identify common kink terms, concepts, and identities so that the clinicians who attend can better support kinky-identified clients.
Objectives:

Learn how kink is defined and connected to social constructs of normativity
Have a basic understanding of common kink identities
Learn basic kink terms and cultural norms
Know the differences between and among kinks, fetishes, and BDSM
Explore how kinks develop and change over time and sexual development
Define healthy and ethical kink
Identify ethical concerns in kink culture

Afternoon Session: Poly 101 for Clinicians (1:00 PM – 4:00 PM)
In graduate school, many programs offered a very limited education on human sexual development, and the topics covered were largely typical, normative experiences. This type of education leaves out so many other ways of being and leaves large gaps in our education about alternative ways of engaging with sex and relationships. Kinky Sex Ed and Poly 101 are both intended to help fill the gaps in clinical education and understanding so that clinicians can be more informed and able to support clients with “non-normative” sexual identities and experiences. The socialization that prioritizes monogamy starts very early in Western culture, with messages about faithfulness, loyalty, jealousy, and love all being inexplicably intertwined. The reality is that–for many people–monogamy simply doesn’t work well for them. This course will explore key terms and concepts of Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM) and how to offer support to our clients in the clinical setting.
Objectives:

Learn monogamous and non-monogamous relationship types
Explore basic terms and concepts of ethical non-monogamy (ENM)
Identify the role of monogamy culture on all relationship types
Define the differences between envy, jealousy, and trauma responses when navigating ENM
Understand common ethical concerns in ENM
Identify the benefits associated with non-monogamous relationship dynamics

We’re eager to welcome you to the beautiful ONE Center on the South Salish Sea for a day of simple self-care in nature. 2026 is our sixth year providing this monthly workshop to colleagues from WA, OR, MT, and beyond. During this nature-based workshop, you have full permission to slow down, rest, and tend to your own health and well-being WHILE earning ethics credits.
All codes of ethics have been revised to include the ethical imperative to practice self-care. These ethical guidelines give us permission to do just that through professional development. We’ll review ethical codes and explore research findings indicating how and why the therapist’s psychological health and well-being directly relate to treatment outcomes for clients. Indeed, how we show up matters. Therefore, finding ways to practice caring for oneself is not only a personal responsibility and a gift to oneself, but also an ethical obligation.
This is a unique retreat-style, experiential workshop with invitations to practice simple self-care inspired by Japan’s shinrin-yoku. Brenda is a mindfulness-based therapist, a certified Eco Therapist, and a certified Forest Therapy Guide. She’s been teaching clients and colleagues how to lean into mindfulness in nature for health and well-being since founding The ONE Center in 2020.
With Brenda’s guidance, we’ll walk short distances through the forest and by the sea, sit spotting along the way while learning simple, evidence-based self-care practices to use anytime, anyplace. Colleagues have come multiple times, sharing they feel increasingly grounded and connected to their body, mind, and soul as the day unfolds. This deep learning is inspiring and supports ethical work by encouraging the continued use of simple self-care practices at home and at work. When our nervous system is settled, we are emotionally regulated and can help our clients feel more embodied, at ease, and connected to others, too.
Without ongoing self-care, providing mental health care can deplete and exhaust us, leading to burnout, compassion fatigue, and secondary vicarious trauma. Added stress from the global polycrisis (social, political, racial, financial, environmental, etc.) can result in feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and hopeless. And yet, we must show up to provide care for so many who are suffering. If this resonates with you, know that you are not alone. Each summer, we find solace in a community of colleagues, in nature, bearing witness and tending to the pain for healing. This is the mindful way. We hope you come to ONE, a sanctuary created specifically for those of us providing care to others, for a gentle landing and a warm welcome. We got your back… we’re here for you.

Tarot and Therapy: Intuition and Metaphor
Presented by: Rebecca Bloom, ATR-BC, LMHC (she/her)
When: Friday, December 4, 2026 | 9:00 am – 4:30 pm Pacific Time
Where: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.

Why is Tarot so popular right now? Are your clients coming in talking about the card they pulled before the session and you have no idea what that means? Have you used tarot for years for your own well being and would love to use it with mental health clients but not sure how?
Most clients come into therapy saying that they do not have access to their intuition and are not sure how to trust what the right choices are to make in their lives. Using a single card pulled from a tarot deck, and exploring the client’s meaning of the card, clients can begin to feel connected to their own sense of self, clients can find new ways to safely explore difficult experiences and find ways to test out feeling grounded again.
Starting with the Jungian concepts of Archetypes we will look at how the collective sense of self represents over these twelve types of being. Then we will explore the history and uses of tarot. These seventy-eight cards have been used for hundreds of years. Using the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, from 1909, as a starting place we will look at many of the decks available today and why people turn to them every day or when times get difficult.
We will explore intuition and how to trust our own sense of knowing. In this hands-on workshop, you will make five of your own cards. Exploring the major arcana, and the suits of cups, pentacles, swords and wands we will learn the journeys of each of these sets.
Objectives:

Learn archetypes of Jung and Tarot.
Learn why the creative process soothes the body and the mind.
Find materials you will be comfortable using with your clients.
Use art making for your own self-care.
