SUMMARY:Retirement for Therapists
DESCRIPTION:Law & Ethics CEs\nRetirement for Therapists\nPresented by: Sandy Voit\, MS\, EdS\, LMHC\, CDFA\nWhen: Thursday\, June 11th\, 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 – 3 are Law & Ethics CEs | $165.00\nWe are blessed to be in a profession that doesn’t enforce mandatory retirement upon us when we reach a certain age. (The majority of people who are no longer working didn’t stop voluntarily…) Clients see our grey hair as a sign of wisdom. We can work as much\, or as little\, as we choose. There will come a time when you are ready to stop working\, and retirement has several issues you must address before you can retire… And there might come a time when circumstances beyond your control – death\, disability\, illness\, incapacity\, and/or caregiving – will prohibit you from continuing. \nYou will do yourself and your family a service by planning for this in advance. We will discuss therapeutic issues\, notification\, records\, liability\, creating a professional will\, and identifying a professional executor. We will also discuss whether or not you are financially prepared for retirement. Substantial handouts and resources are provided so you can focus on the discussions without spending all your time taking notes. \nWorkshop Objectives:\n• Understanding therapeutic aspects of preparing for retirement. \n• Preparing a Professional Will and identifying a Professional Executor. \n• Understanding your obligations for notification and access to your records. \n• Preparing for the Unexpected – what happens if you were to die or become incapacitated? \n• Your personal finances in preparation for retirement. \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:🆕BRAND-NEW! Cultural Humility in Working with Immigrant Clients 🆕
DESCRIPTION:BRAND-NEW!\nLaw & Ethics\, Health Equity\, and/or \nCultural Competence CEs\nCultural Humility in Working with Immigrant Clients\nPresented by: Dr. Gitika Talwar\nWhen: Friday\, June 12th\, 2026 | 9:00 AM – 12:15 PM\, Pacific Time\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 3 Law & Ethics\, Health Equity\, and/or Cultural Competence CEs | $99.00\nThis continuing education workshop will discuss how therapy is a site of acculturation for the therapeutic dyad (therapist and client/therapist and couple/therapist and family). Recognizing values alignment and values misalignment can be an opportunity for a deep and sincere therapeutic encounter. Cultural humility can be a practice to navigate this therapeutic encounter in helpful ways. \nCultural humility can help the therapist effectively steward the therapeutic space by fostering continuous self-reflection\, discovery\, and honest\, trustworthy relationships with clients (Yeager & Bauer-Wu\, 2013). It represents a shift from cultural competence\, which emphasizes “knowing” about various cultural groups\, to an ongoing process of “understanding” and “being” with the client (Tervalon & Murray-García\, 1998; Lekas et al.\, 2020). \nKey aspects and principles of cultural humility include: \n\nAcknowledging power dynamics and biases: Therapists are invited to recognize their own biases and the inherent power imbalances within the therapeutic relationship (Summers & Nelson\, 2022).\nNot being the expert: Therapists understand that they are not the experts when clients have lived experiences different from their own (Summers & Nelson\, 2022).\nAdvocacy: It includes advocating to dismantle systemic barriers that impact clients (Summers & Nelson\, 2022).\n\nMosher et al. (2017) report that the impact of cultural humility in therapy includes: \n\nDeeper therapeutic alliances\nOpportunities to communicate respect for the client’s cultural identity\nBetter therapy outcomes\nOpportunities for meaningful engagement and repair of cultural mistakes\n\nGiven how religious and spiritual beliefs can be entwined with cultural beliefs\, cultural humility can be expanded to include humility towards spiritual and religious beliefs in order to serve our racially\, ethnically\, and spiritually diverse clients. \nWorkshop Objectives:\n\nLearn about cultural humility by recognizing how immigration shapes cultural experience\, and reflect on the role of spirituality in our culturally diverse clients.\nIdentify ethical considerations that challenge the therapist’s capacity to be open\, curious\, flexible\, and empathic in responding to clients’ needs. Develop practices to remain culturally attuned.\nIdentify common clinical conceptualizations that can create cultural tensions within this therapeutic space\, especially when cultural or spiritual values challenge the therapist’s own value system\nRecognize the importance of advocacy in dismantling systemic barriers that impact clients. Develop practices that foster greater allyship.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n
