SUMMARY:🆕 BRAND-NEW! Reconceptualizing OCD 🆕
DESCRIPTION:Brand-New!\nReconceptualizing OCD\nPresented by: B Lourenco\, MA\, LMHC (she/her)\nWhen: Friday\, May 1st\, 2026 | 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM Pacific Time\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 6 CEs | Cost: $190.00\nWith the rise of the Neurodiversity-Affirming movement\, the field of psychology has had to grapple with the ever-growing knowledge that it got it wrong with Autism and ADHD. This course asks: What if we’ve gotten OCD wrong\, too? What if OCD is part of the innate neurodivergent umbrella that needs support and accommodation instead of treatments that often end up feeling like a game of whack-a-mole? \nB Lourenco uses a combination of lived experience and scientific research to analyze and assess the current understanding of and framework for OCD and its treatment. This continuing education workshop offers a different way of viewing OCD through a non-pathologizing lens\, a holistic view that honors the strengths of the OC brain. This workshop will also cover ways to provide care for clients using a blend of modalities that offer affirming support. If you live or work with OCD\, this class will absolutely leave you questioning what you thought you knew! \nWorkshop Objectives:\n\nCompare and contrast the medical model and the reconceptualization of OCD\nDescribe the purpose of the OC brain through a non-pathologizing lens\nIdentify ways that the OC brain may have supported early human survival\nDescribe the impact of trauma and/or core fears on the experience of OCD\nDefine what shifts an OC brain into an experience of OCD\nLearn how to support OCD through a combination of I-CBT\, ACT\, and IFS\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Therapeutic Neuroscience Certificate Series: A Brain Science-Based Approach to Cognitive & Somatic Treatment of Common Mental Health Disorders🆕
DESCRIPTION:Popular Certificate Program!\nTherapeutic Neuroscience Certificate Series: A Brain Science-Based Approach to Cognitive & Somatic Treatment of Common Mental Health Disorders\nPresented by: Hannah Smith\, MA\, LMHC\, CGP\nWhen: Monday\, May 4th – Monday\, June 1st\, 2026 | 4-Week Series | Meets Four Consecutive Mondays except Monday\, May 25th | 9:00 am – 12:15 pm Pacific Time (same time each Monday)\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 12 CEs | $499.00\n***see below for payment options\nAre you ready for something really different? \nAs a provider of mental health treatment\, it is important to stay informed about the latest advances in treatment. Beyond being a requirement of most licensure boards\, research shows that improving practitioner competence decreases burnout and increases job satisfaction! \nOne of the hottest topics is the integration of neuroscience into mental health treatment. You heard this\, and you want to learn more – but it feels daunting and overwhelming in the face of all you have to deal with every day. The prospect just does not sound pleasant. \nSo\, why not make it easier? \nIntroducing Cascadia’s brain science certificate series! \nIn keeping with not only teaching to the brain in presentation style\, but also in the ability to take in and retain\, Cascadia now offers this in a series of three-hour sessions over a few weeks! The benefits are many! \nFirst\, the course is separated into four discrete and highly useful sessions: \nWeek One: Pertinent Therapeutic Neuroscience \nWeek Two: Applications in Therapeutic Neuroscience \nWeek Three: Neuroscience-informed Cognitive Approaches  \nWeek Four: Neuroscience-informed Somatic Approaches.  \nBesides three-hour time blocks being easier to manage than an entire day\, you will also have lots of time to think about\, try things\, and ask questions in between sessions\, as skill support inquiries are encouraged! \nNone of us wants to spend our time learning only to come away tired and feeling that we could not retain what we learned.  In this format\, you will have the chance to really sink your teeth into the material and build a sense of competence! \nAll this will take place in the comfort of your own home! \nIf you have wanted to take your practice to the next level by incorporating cutting-edge neuroscience\, then this is the course for you! Whether you aren’t quite sure what the amygdala really is or you are a PhD in Neuropsychology – this practical\, application-based course will appropriately challenge and inspire you! \nWorkshop Objectives:\n\nLearn Pertinent Brain Systems & Structures and Describe Their Practical Application to Clinical Work\nIdentify & Examine the Neurological Processes Underlying Common Mental Health Disorders\, Such as Anxiety\, Depression\, Personality Disorders & Trauma.\nRelate Specific Dysfunctional Behavioral Presentations to Associated Brain Functions to Improve Diagnosis & Pinpoint Effective Treatment Modalities\nApply the Neuroscience-informed Lens to Current Cognitive-based (ACT\, CBT\, IFS)\, Mindfulness-based (DBT\, MBT)\, & Somatic-based (EFT\, Expressive Therapies) Theories You Already Know Increasing Insights to Improve Treatment Trajectory & Outcomes\nEvaluate the differences between amygdala-based and cortex-based symptoms\nApply proven strategies for calming and training the amygdala.\nUse Practical Neuroscience-informed Techniques\, such as Threat Analysis\, to Improve Client Understanding\, Compliance\, and Outcomes\nConvey Difficult Science Terms & Concepts in an Understandable\, Client-friendly Manner\n\nPAYMENT OPTIONS\nCascadia Training values quality continuing education that is accessible\, inclusive\, and without barriers to all. We never want the cost of our workshops to be a barrier to attending one of our workshops\, particularly our multi-session workshops. \nWe offer several options to make our workshops cost-inclusive: payment plans\, a limited number of full and partial scholarships\, discounts for students\, and discounts for early professionals. \nFor payment plans\, you can select paying 50% today and the remaining 50% will automatically be processed from your credit card on the last day of June.  \nPlease email us at hello@cascadiatraining.org to inquire about discounts and scholarships. \n  \n
