SUMMARY:Becoming a Neurodivergent-Affirming Clinician: Understanding ADHD and Autism through a Strengths-Based\, Neurodivergent-Affirming Lens
DESCRIPTION:Law & Ethics\, Health Equity\,\nand Cultural Competence CEs!\nBecoming a Neurodivergent-Affirming Clinician: Understanding ADHD and Autism through a Strengths-Based\, Neurodivergent-Affirming Lens\nPresented by: B Lourenco\, MA\, LMHC\nWhen:  This course will be held for six consecutive Wednesdays: August 26th through September 30th\, 2026\, from 10:00 am – 1:15 pm Pacific / 1:00 pm – 4:15 pm Eastern\n\nWednesday\, August 26th\, 2026 | 10:00 am – 1:15 pm Pacific / 1:00 pm – 4:15 pm Eastern\nWednesday\, September 2nd\, 2026 | 10:00 am – 1:15 pm Pacific / 1:00 pm – 4:15 pm Eastern\nWednesday\, September 8th\, 2026 | 10:00 am – 1:15 pm Pacific / 1:00 pm – 4:15 pm Eastern\nWednesday\, September 16th\, 2026 | 10:00 am – 1:15 pm Pacific / 1:00 pm – 4:15 pm Eastern\nWednesday\, September 23rd\, 2026 | 10:00 am – 1:15 pm Pacific / 1:00 pm – 4:15 pm Eastern\nWednesday\, September 30th\, 2026 | 10:00 am – 1:15 pm Pacific / 1:00 pm – 4:15 pm Eastern\n\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the event.\n18 CEs (12 CEs can be used for Cultural Competence or Health Equity CEs\, and 6 can be used for Law & Ethics CEs) | $599.00 *** (see below for payment options)\nAs technology progresses and education on mental health becomes increasingly more available\, the population has become more self-aware. The world is changing quickly\, and with it\, more and more people realize that their brain works differently than others. Due to the influence of social media and the shift to focusing on lived experience as a legitimate means of diagnosis\, we are seeing a sudden increase in clients that identify as Autistic and/or an ADHDer. We find that clients are speaking up and finding validation of what they have always known: their brains operate differently than the brains of their peers\, colleagues\, friends\, and families. As a result\, we are seeing a sudden increase in the young adult and middle-aged population who identify as being Neurodivergent in a Neurotypical world. \nThis workshop series is designed to help clinicians build greater awareness and familiarity with ADHD and Autistic experiences. Participants will come away from this course with a deeper understanding of ADHD and Autism from the Neurodiversity-Affirming Paradigm that focuses on strengths and differences\, not diagnoses\, disorders\, and deficits. \nEspecially following the Covid pandemic and its sometimes long-term impact on the brain and the immune system’s inflammatory processes\, many clients report having different and often challenging sensory processing experiences. We are seeing more adults presenting in our offices with reports that they now have issues not only with taste and smell but with a range of visual\, hearing\, tactile\, balance\, and internal bodily sensations they never have before experienced\, as well as difficulties with attention and memory. This begs the question: have these brain differences always been there but now have been sensitized or magnified by exposure to Covid and months-long isolation? \nMany adults are now recognizing they are not alone and are demanding they not be dismissed or invalidated any longer\, often having experienced the continued frustration of providers questioning their own lived experiences and\, as a result\, having been either undiagnosed or underdiagnosed due to outdated and debunked diagnostic criteria still used by mainstream psychiatrists and physicians. These individuals are finding validation for what they have suspected all along: their brains work differently than those of their peers\, families\, and friends. \nWith new research available and an increasingly empowered clientele\, we see more than ever the need to remain current in our understanding of–and support for–those who have brain differences. Committed to blending cutting-edge scientific evidence with the lived experiences of our clients\, Cascadia Training\, is delighted to offer a new workshop series designed to help clinicians build greater awareness and familiarity with ADHD and Autistic experiences. \nUpon completion of this series\, participants will have a deeper understanding of ADHD and Autism from the Neurodiversity Affirming Paradigm that focuses on strengths and differences\, not disorders\, diagnoses\, and deficits! \nWoven throughout the series are the law and ethics of working with neurodivergent clients\, including the danger of misdiagnoses\, and the harm of using biased\, outdated\, debunked diagnostic criteria leading to the under-diagnosis of ADHD and Autism spectrum experiences. In addition\, participants will learn about and identify pathologizing\, stigmatizing\, and harmful treatment protocols and clinical interventions still utilized by providers in educational\, physical\, and mental health professions. \nThis series uses a system developed explicitly by B Lourenco\, an expert on ADHD and Autism. The course focuses to a large degree on the internal\, lived experience of neurodiversity. Each of the six weekly sessions will include a didactic portion\, an experiential section\, and direct case consultation time. All modules will include lecture\, video\, and experiential segments. \nCertificate Program Weekly Modules: \nWeek One:  Sensory Systems  – Getting in touch with the sensory system is the most critical step in supporting neurodivergent clients. Sensory information can regulate emotional and physical experiences. In addition\, we will focus on using sensory profiles\, menus\, and diets to support day-to-day quality of life. \nWeek Two: Communication and Relationships – Understanding how those with Autism and ADHD communicate creates room for therapeutic connection. With this understanding\, we will dive into tools for managing meltdowns and shutdowns in an affirming way. \nWeek Three:  Attending and Executive Function – This module will explain why those with Autism and ADHD face challenges attending to their environment by addressing social expectations on perceptions of “functioning.” You will also learn how to use the client’s natural rhythms to support positive functionality. \nWeek Four:  Social Systems and Disability – Understanding how society directly impacts the lives of people with disabilities. We will focus on how clinicians can incorporate advocacy into their practice and tools to unlearn neurotypical values by connecting clients to personal values. \nWeek Five: Differentials and Comorbidities – This module will teach participants how to rule out or “dial in” on other mental health concerns or diagnoses. We will present comorbidities that exist with your neurodivergent clients and how to effectively support them in a non-stigmatizing way. The role of trauma and grief in the lived experience of clients who identify as neurodivergent will be discussed\, as well as the impact of these events on the developing brain. We will process how to best support the grief and disenfranchised losses felt by our autistic and ADHD clients and their families. \nWeek Six: The Use of Joy As a Tool Against Oppression. Creating celebrations of being neurodivergent and finding joy in everyday life as we partner with our neurodivergent clients. The Neurodivergent-affirming certificate program series will conclude with various celebrations we can share with our clients and the shift to viewing “joy itself as a tool against oppression.” As clinicians\, it is important for us to first comprehend–and then share– the ways that society benefits from neurodiversity in general and ADHD and Autism\, in particular. We will conclude by learning ways to help our clients celebrate their neurodiversity and see themselves through an affirming\, strengths-based lens. \nOther topics that will be covered in this practice- and life-altering certificate program series include\, but are not limited to: \n\nAlexithymia and Dysthymia\nARFID\nMisophonia\nGender and sexuality in the ADHD and Autistic communities\nThe role of menstruation on ADHD and Autistic brains\nInterdependence vs codependence and/or independence\nMyths and stigmas about neurodivergent people\nExperiences of abuse in neurodivergent people\nPervasive Desire for Autonomy (PDA)\n\n***Payment 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.

SUMMARY:Let’s Talk About Sex
DESCRIPTION:Law & Ethics\, Health Equity\, or Cultural Competence CEs\nLet’s Talk About Sex\nPresented by B Lourenco\, MA\, LMHC (she/her)\nWhen: Thursday\, September 10\, 2026 | 9:00 am – 4:30 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live via Zoom (you’ll receive the link the week of the workshop)\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 6 Law & Ethics\, Health Equity\, or Cultural Competency CEs | Cost: $199.00\nResearch shows that if sex isn’t brought up in the first three therapy sessions\, it is unlikely to ever come up in the therapy space. \nA large majority of clinicians don’t know how to talk to their clients about sexuality and\, subsequently\, aren’t able to help their clients with issues about their sex lives. Many clinicians also believe that conversations about sex are out of their scope of practice\, and while this is true in rare cases\, it’s usually not true. \nEvery single person has a relationship with sexuality\, whether they are asexual or very sexually experienced. Everyone we work with as therapists has a relationship with their sexuality. \nDiscussing sexual health is well within our scope as clinicians! It is ethically mandated for clinicians to continue learning and growing so we can offer the best and most tailored support to our clients. \nThat need has prompted the creation of this workshop\, NOT Your Mom’s Sex Ed Class! \nSocialization teaches us that everyone is cis-gender\, hetero\, and monogamous. Everyone is taught that certain sexual behaviors are “normal” and others are “not.” These norms are echoed in the education systems that clinicians are trained in. Because of the shame-filled way our society treats sexuality\, most folks have a complicated relationship with it. \nWe can serve the entire person when we choose to include conversations about sex and sexual health with our clients. \nThis course will go over the basics of human sexuality and anatomy\, including sexual and gender identities\, as well as the roles of desire\, arousal\, and libido. This course will explore types of sexual dysfunction commonly experienced by clients and how to know if a referral is needed. In addition\, this course will identify ways that all clinicians can become more informed and sex-positive with everyday clients. \nObjectives:\n\nLearn the process of expected sexual development over the lifetime\nIdentify sex organs and their functions\nReview gender and gender identities\nReview sexual identities\nDifferentiate between types of arousal\, desire\, and variations in libido\nExplore concepts about sex/porn addiction vs. out-of-control sexual behaviors\nIdentify the role of society in determining sexual norms and expectations\nDefine the impact of expectation of sexual normativity\nExplore common non-normative identities and behaviors\nLearn common types of sexual dysfunction experienced by everyday clients\nDistinguish the role of attachment wounds and trauma on sexual experiences\nIdentify when a referral to a sex therapy specialist is needed\nUnderstand the basics of sex-positive therapy and how to explore sexual topics with clients\nLearn common types of sexual dysfunction experienced by everyday clients\nDistinguish the role of attachment wounds and trauma on sexual experiences\nIdentify when a referral to a sex therapy specialist is needed\nUnderstand the basics of sex-positive therapy and how to explore sexual topics with clients\nDiscuss ethical best practices around client sexuality and identify possible misdiagnoses due to clinician misinformation\nExplore how cultural norms impact sexual attitudes and perpetuate stigmatizing myths\nIdentify the ethics that mandate we provide culturally sensitive and inclusive clinical practices\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

SUMMARY:Ethics of Simple Self-Care in Nature – Day 1
DESCRIPTION:Law & Ethics CEs!\nEthics of Simple Self-Care in Nature – Day 1\nPresented by: Dr. Brenda Butterfield\, EdD\, MSW\, LMHC \nWhen: Friday\, September 11\, 2026 | 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM\, Pacific Time\nWhere: Live in person at the ONE Center (7400 Gallagher Cove Road NW\, Olympia\, WA 98502)\nLodging Information: If you’d like to come the night before or stay over on Friday night after the workshop\, you can explore the lodging options provided by the ONE Center here. For questions about lodging\, please email the ONE Center at ournewexperiences@gmail.com\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 6 Law & Ethics CEs | $199.00\nThis workshop is offered several times throughout 2026. All of the sessions are as follows:\n\n\nFriday\, April 24th\, 2026 MORE INFO >>>\n\n\nFriday\, June 19th\, 2026 MORE INFO >>>\n\n\nFriday\, August 14th\, 2026 MORE INFO >>>\n\n\nFriday\, September 11th\, 2026 MORE INFO >>>\n\n\nFriday\, October 16th\, 2026 MORE INFO >>>\n\n\nWe’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. \nAll 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. \nThis 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. \nWith 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. \nWithout 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. \nWORKSHOP OBJECTIVES\nIn this workshop\, you will \n\nExplore experientially a variety of ways to practice simple self-care\nLearn about ethical implications for practicing self-care\nUnderstand research correlating clinician health and well-being to treatment outcomes for clients\nAssess your current overall health and well-being\nAssess your professional quality of life\nIdentify lifestyle choices that are supportive or undermine health and well-being\nDevelop a realistic action plan for improved health and well-being\n\nWhat attendees of this workshop are saying: \n“The beautiful time in nature and SLOWING DOWN! Thank you for curating a safe and nourishing environment to just BE.” \n“Where to start! I enjoyed the land! The atmosphere of acceptance and compassion. The experiential approach. The connection to ethics. The opportunities to connect with ourselves and peers. The worksheets for reflection and self-assessment. I loved everything!” \n“The beautiful and nurturing environment allowed everyone to feel safe and be vulnerable. I admire the bravery and ability of the other attendees to open up and share their experiences\, struggles\, and challenges. It helps us all feel less alone.” \n“This workshop – and the ONE Center – is truly a gift that every mental health professional should give themselves! Hands down\, this is the best continuing education workshop I’ve ever attended.” \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

SUMMARY:Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT): Tapping for Clinicians
DESCRIPTION:Law & Ethics CEs!\nEmotional Freedom Techniques (EFT): Tapping for Clinicians\nPresented by: Shelley White\, MA\, LMHC\nWhen: Monday\, September 14th\, 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 (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 3 Law & Ethics CEs | Cost: $99.00\nEmotion Freedom Techniques (EFT) – also known as EFT Tapping –has become a widely accepted\, effective\, evidence-based strategy to reduce emotional distress and increase physical well-being. Many prominent therapists and psychologists\, including trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk\, use a form of tapping with their clients\, and now you can too. \nEFT Tapping is a technique based on the same science as acupuncture. Since its inception in the late 1980s\, more than 200 research studies supporting its effectiveness have been published. Studies show that Tapping can reduce activity in the amygdala\, up-regulate immune genes\, down-regulate inflammation genes\, increase endorphin release\, and decrease cortisol levels in a very short period of time. Tapping has demonstrated its effectiveness in a variety of ways. It has been shown to increase test scores\, manage phobias\, and reduce pain. Tapping helps with trauma symptoms by safely releasing emotional numbing\, calming fears of vulnerability and connection\, reducing the need to be perfect\, and quieting shame. This workshop provides you with the introductory skills you need to start using basic tapping techniques immediately. \nIn addition to learning how to help clients with this evidence-based intervention\, attendees will also learn how to include Tapping as a technique in their own self-care toolkit. Listening to our clients’ fears\, stress\, anxiety\, and pain can affect our ability to stay calm\, centered\, and peaceful in our own lives. Our self-care is crucial to our ability to offer quality care to our clients\, which is why it is an ethical mandate in the mental health professions. Tapping can help you stay focused and present for your clients and help you to release any intense energy you may be holding after a therapeutic session. \nThrough observation\, lecture\, and practice\, workshop attendees will learn the history of tapping and understand the psychology and science behind its success. Attendees will learn and practice the basic Tapping protocol\, so you will be able to use EFT with your clients—and in your own self-care– immediately. Come earn 3 law & ethics CEs by learning this effective self-regulatory tool—for you AND your clients! \nWorkshop Objectives:\nAfter attending this workshop\, attendees will: \n\nUnderstand the history and origins of EFT Tapping and know that it works by using the same acupressure points and meridians that are used in acupuncture. Understand EFT/Tapping offers an effective\, evidence-based intervention and can easily be introduced into a clinician’s ongoing self-care practice.  (NASW\, 2021; ACA\, 2014; APA\, 2019)\nComprehend that self-care adds to their clinical competency and adheres to the ethical mandate to include self-care in their daily lives to avoid impairment in functioning (NASW\, 2021; ACA\, 2014; APA\, 2019).\nLearn how to introduce Tapping into the therapeutic setting\, communicating with clients about the purpose and use of EFT/Tapping in ways that are both developmentally and culturally appropriate\, aligning with the ethical imperative of informed consent. (NASW\, 2021\, 1.03\, 1/05; ACA\, 1.03\, 2014.)\nUnderstand that EFT Tapping is an evidence-based intervention and be able to discuss positive outcomes from using tapping to increase calm and reduce anxiety\, to improve concentration\, and decrease high blood pressure. EFT Tapping can be used for both sensory/physical and emotional self-regulation.\nObtain continuing education in EFT/Tapping and gain experience in using EFT/Tapping by practicing in triads and following the various protocols for using EFT/Tapping. (APA\, 2019; AMHCA\, 2020; ACA\, 2014; NASW\, 1.03\, 2021).\nLearn that EFT/Tapping ensures the ethical principles of client autonomy and client self-determination by offering an easy-to-use\, effective\, ethical\, and evidence-based technique clients can learn and use on their own to manage physical and/or emotional symptoms (AAMFT\, 1.1.8\, 2015; NASW\, 1.02\, 1.03\, 2021; ACA\, 2014\, 1.; APA\, 2019).\nDemonstrate their ethical compliance with the ethical and legal standards that mental health practitioners work toward competency when introducing a new treatment or clinical skill. (ACA\, 2014; NASW\, 2019; AAMFT\, 1.1.2\, 2015).\nUnderstand how to explain EFT/Tapping in clear and understandable language to their clients\, demonstrating their adherence to ethical standards when introducing a new clinical tool or technique. (ACA\, 2014\, A. 2.d).\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Being Neurodivergent in a Neurotypical World
DESCRIPTION:Law & Ethics\, Cultural Competence\, or Health Equity CEs!\nBeing Neurodivergent in a Neurotypical World\nPresented by: B Lourenco\, MA\, LMHC (she/her)\nWhen: Thursday\, September 17th\, 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: 6 Law & Ethics\, Health Equity\, or Cultural Competence CEs | Cost: $199.00\nHave you noticed that more and more of your clients have begun to suspect that they are neurodivergent? During the past year-and-a-half of the Covid pandemic\, many folks have had time to reflect and learn about themselves and others. That time of learning and increased self-reflection has led to what seems like an explosion of self-diagnosed Autistic and ADHD clients. It seems hard to believe that there are suddenly so many more people who are identifying as being neurodivergent.  You may have asked yourself\, “What is going on?” \nThe difference is the shift to using the ethical approach of “centering lived experience” in identifying neurodiversity. Using this term and approach as applied to neurodiversity\, this presenter explains the rise in neurodivergent diagnoses\, especially among those who have initially those self-identified. The presenter suggests that we have only recently begun to LISTEN to voices of those have had “lived experiences” after being diagnosed in the current mental health field\, including countless reports of feeling increased emotional distress and of experiences of marginalization due to being labeled– and subsequently stigmatized– as neurodivergent. \nB Lourenco will provide attendees with a “centering lived experience” model of assessing and supporting clients who suspect that they have been living as a neurodivergent person in a neurotypical world.  This presenter will support your learning how to incorporate a “centering lived experience” model in your own mental health practices.  With this new paradigm\, mental health practitioners and educators can shift their focus away from a deficits-based approach to identifying the strengths and adaptive characteristics of those who are neurodivergent\, especially those identified as autistic or ADHD. \nThis workshop will demonstrate how the current model for identifying neurodivergence—particularly those with Autism and ADHD–is considered both outdated and ableist by experts who choose to use the “centering lived experience” approach to assessing clients.  This course will outline the ways that the current model harms neurodivergent people\, in addition to offering workshop attendees a more client-empowering\, more affirming way to identify and interact with this unique population of people. \nUtilizing the Neurodiversity paradigm\, you’ll leave this workshop with a much better\, more strengths-based understanding of Autism and ADHD\, as well as gaining effective tools for interacting with and supporting these clients (of which you have\, even if you or the client doesn’t know it yet)! \nObjectives: \n\nunderstand the umbrella of neurodivergence\, including innate and acquired neurodivergence\nhave a clearer understanding of Autism and ADHD—as viewed through an ethical\, neurodiversity-affirming lens\nidentify limits of the medical model of neurodivergence\nunderstand ways in which the current medical model is unethical and harmful to neurodivergent people–by its focus on perceived deficits through a neurotypical lens\napply a strengths and differences approach in identifying autism and ADHD\nunderstand and consider using the “centered life experience” model of identifying and supporting neurodivergent clients and populations\ngain new skills to better assist Autistic and ADHD clients\npossess a clearer understanding of the ethical need to approach clients with an anti-oppression lens in mental health care agencies and private practices\nfeel empowered to challenge current systems of harm by supporting clients in their preferred methods of processing sensory input and communicating with others in a neurotypical world\n\nAfter attending this workshop\, attendees will be able to: \n\nDiscuss the ethical violations that come from employing Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) as an intervention with neurodivergent clients/students.\nBecome familiar with the metaphor of Applied Behavioral Analysis as being the why the “conversion therapy” of the neurodivergent community and the ethical ramifications of continuing to use it in schools and clinics.\nUnderstand that the practice of ABA is based upon a “foundation of compliance\, coercion\, and behaviorism.”\nIdentify that current “evidence-based practices” may not be effective with the neurodivergent client.\nComprehend the ethical mandate under cultural competence standards to respect and validate the culture and norms of the neurodivergent population.\nRespect the neurodivergent client as a person worthy of respect and individual civil rights legally protected from discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).\nUnderstand the ethical mandate to assess clients with a culturally competent assessment tool and grasp the ethical violation of using current inadequate or inappropriate assessment tools with neurodivergent clients.\nDiscuss the widespread misdiagnoses of neurodivergent clients/patients when practitioners use a neurotypical standard of behaviors and development to diagnose a neurodivergent client.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Menopause and Mental Health: Navigating the Challenges from Perimenopause to Post-Menopause
DESCRIPTION:Meets Health Equity or Cultural Competence Continuing Education Requirements!\nMenopause and Mental Health: Navigating the Challenges from Perimenopause to Post-Menopause\nPresented by Rebecca Bloom\, LMHC (she/her)\nWhen: Friday\, September 18th\, 2026\, 2025 | 9:00 am – 4:30 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live via Zoom. You’ll receive the Zoom link the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 6 CEs (meets criteria for Health Equity or Cultural Competence CEs) | Cost: $199.00\nThe experience of pre-menopause/perimenopause\, menopause\, and post-menopause is rarely talked about\, but thousands of people are diagnosed daily with menopause-related challenges. \nIt shows up in clinical settings in many ways: if someone has been medically induced and is having many symptoms at once; if the whole family system is under stress because “now Mom is mad all the time;” if a client cannot get a medical doctor to address that all her symptoms are connected; or a client feels sex is just “too painful now” and plans never to have sex again. \nAs clinicians who may be in perimenopause\, menopause\, or post-menopause ourselves\, do not understand our own bodies anymore and may find our work life more difficult than ever. \nYou may have a 48-year-old female client referred by a medical doctor. This new client has no history of depression\, but suddenly\, she cannot get out of bed\, she cannot track her thoughts\, and her blood pressure is through the roof. In this workshop\, you will learn that these are all symptoms of perimenopause or menopause. \nIn this workshop\, you will gain an in-depth knowledge of the 37 most common symptoms of perimenopause and menopause that affect us physically\, mentally\, emotionally\, cognitively\, and spiritually. \nIn addition\, you will learn how to talk with your clients about these symptoms and how to help them advocate outside the walls of your office for themselves and the medical care they need. We will also look at how biases and inequalities surrounding race and gender (collectively\, we’ll say women\, but we mean that in a very inclusive way to include those who identify as a woman\, those who are assigned female at birth (AFAB) but are transgender or non-binary but still have female reproductive organs and hormones)\, LGBTQIA+\, socio-economic status\, and more impact whether someone receives accessible\, affordable\, adequate\, and effective health care. \nWe will also explore how the lack of adequate medical care for girls\, women\, and those AFAB continues throughout their lifespan and greatly impacts all aspects of their lives. This lack of adequate\, affirming medical attention leads to this natural hormonal experience negatively impacting “everything” in our lives. \nThe destabilization and loss process in menopause will be explored from various angles. What does it mean to no longer be of “child-bearing age”? Is that transition cause for celebration? Is it a tremendous loss? What does it currently mean to be a “crone”? We will explore how this role has changed over time and in various cultures. \nThe latest neuroscience research suggests that the loss of estrogen in the brain has major impacts on many bodily systems. What does it mean to go on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)? Some current research suggests that HRT is safe for up to ten years. We will examine why this protocol changed and what it means for our clients and ourselves. \nWe will also explore natural options for care and support during the various phases of menopause. “Have your fans at the ready!” Let’s spend the day talking about menopause and learning about what impacts our receiving affirming\, effective medical care\, including the fact that the average medical doctor receives only one hour– in TOTAL—of formal training on menopause. You will leave this workshop knowing much more than when you arrived\, knowledge that will help your clients and you on your journey. \nObjectives:\n\nLearn the three stages of menopause.\nLearn the 37 most common symptoms of menopause.\nAddress how to help clients feel more stable in this process.\nLearn how culture impacts on menopause.\nAddress the experience of gender and gender bias across the lifespan.\nDestigmatize menopause and encourage authentic\, effective discussions.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

SUMMARY:🆕 BRAND-NEW! Reconceptualizing OCD 🆕
DESCRIPTION:Brand-New!\nReconceptualizing OCD\nPresented by: B Lourenco\, MA\, LMHC (she/her)\nWhen: Friday\, September 25th\, 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

You will discover how tarot card imagery functions as a dynamic visual and symbolic language\, uniquely suited to therapeutic conversations. From its historical roots and cultural controversies to its contemporary relevance in the therapy room\, this course provides a comprehensive introduction to the clinical applications of tarot. \nTarot is a particularly powerful tool in psychotherapy because it engages both intuition and structured exploration. Its archetypal and narrative richness make tarot an ideal companion for therapists working at the intersection of the unconscious and creative expression. Tarot cards can externalize internal experiences\, evoke epiphany\, and stimulate insight\, allowing clients to access feelings and ideas that may be difficult to articulate in more traditional ways. Whether used for parts work or accessing suppressed emotions\, tarot meets clients where they are\, supporting both depth and flexibility in the therapeutic process. \nIn becoming a “tarot-friendly therapist\,” you will discover that incorporating tarot into your practice opens up a creative and intuitive space for clients that is rich with possibility. Tarot allows clients to externalize internal experiences\, access inner wisdom\, and engage in symbolic storytelling that can be both playful and profound. Whether used as a metaphor\, visual prompt\, or reflective tool\, tarot can make therapy feel more accessible\, empowering\, and emotionally resonant\, especially for those who struggle to articulate feelings through words alone. Clients who already have a relationship with tarot (or are simply curious about the cards) will be thrilled to learn that this powerful tool can be integrated into their treatment. \nThroughout the course\, we will explore the projective potential of tarot through the lenses of Jungian psychology\, narrative therapy\, psychodrama\, and Gestalt practices such as chairwork. We will also examine tarot’s compatibility with modalities such as EMDR\, Internal Family Systems\, Poetry Therapy\, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy\, broadening your understanding of how to integrate tarot into diverse treatment approaches. \nWith an emphasis on ethical\, inclusive practice\, you will learn how to introduce tarot imagery to clients in ways that honor spiritual and religious diversity while respecting professional boundaries. The course includes guidance on spiritual competency\, clinical documentation\, and ethical considerations. This highly experiential training offers ample opportunities to practice\, reflect on\, and personalize the material. Whether you are an experienced clinician seeking new depth or a newer therapist curious about symbolic tools\, this program offers both theoretical grounding and hands-on application: The goal is for you to leave feeling comfortable and confident integrating tarot into your therapy practice. By the end\, you will have an expanded toolkit and a new lens through which to view healing\, insight\, and transformation. \nNote: No prior experience with tarot is required. \nThis course is based on Dreya Blume’s book\, The Clinical Use of Tarot Card Imagery in Psychotherapy (2025) (Amazon link) \nExciting News! The tuition for this 18-hour first-of-its-kind certificate program includes your own PDF copy of Dreya Blume’s three-volume book. \nWorkshop Objectives\n\nIdentify various ways in which visual imagery can be used to address mental health issues\nUtilize tarot card imagery for creative expression\nAnalyze the archetypal uses of tarot card imagery\nApply tarot card imagery to inner critic work\nAssess which tarot card activities to use depending on client population and issue\nCreate therapeutic applications of tarot card imagery\nIdentify how to use tarot card imagery for intuitive work with the subconscious\nUtilize tarot card imagery for emotional externalization purposes\nDescribe how to use tarot card imagery for facilitating emotional expression\nApply tarot card imagery to narrative therapy techniques\nDescribe how tarot card imagery relates to dialogue work as found in Gestalt Therapy\nDemonstrate how tarot card imagery relates to parts work\nDevelop tarot activities that can be used in core values generation\nExplain how tarot card imagery can be ethically introduced to clients\nPrepare tarot-based activities for clients that are ethically grounded\nExplain the ethics behind processing tarot-based activities with clients\nDemonstrate how to create and maintain healthy boundaries between client and counselor in terms of integrating tarot card imagery into session\nIdentify ways to ensure well-defined roles in the professional relationship\nDemonstrate cultural competence in terms of identifying the cultural background of tarot\nDemonstrate cultural competence in terms of exploring and then integrating clients’ personal relationship with tarot into counseling\n\nWorkshop Breakdown by Day\nDay One \n\nThe History of Tarot\nThe Clinical Benefits of Using Tarot Cards\nThe “Evidence-Based” Bugaboo\nSpiritual/Religious Competency in Therapy\nTarot\, Creativity and Therapy\nTarot Is/As Metaphor\nBeyond Metaphor: Pataphor\nProjective Tools in Psychotherapy\nCarl Jung: Therapeutic Tarot’s Forefather\nShadow Work\nThe Hero’s Journey\n\nDay Two \n\nTarot And/As Visual Imagery in Art Therapy\nNarrative Therapy\nPsychodrama\nEMDR\, Visual Imagery and Metaphoric Cards\nInner Critic Work\nIntrojections\nParts Work\nChairwork\nSolution-Focused Therapy\n\nDay Three \n\nAcceptance and Commitment Therapy\nPoetry Therapy\nAsemic Writing for Healing\nIntroducing Tarot Cards to a Client\nClinical Documentation\nTarot and Professional Ethics\nMarketing oneself as a “tarot-friendly therapist”\n\n***Payment 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.

SUMMARY:🆕 BRAND-NEW! Ethics of Somatic Therapies: Boundaries\, Consent\, and Scope of Practice 🆕
DESCRIPTION:Brand-New!\nMeets Professional Roles & Boundaries or Law & Ethics CE requirements!\nEthics of Somatic Therapies: Boundaries\, Consent\, and Scope of Practice\nPresented by: Dreya Blume\, LCSW\nWhen: Monday\, Septemer 28th\, 2026 | 1:00 pm – 4:00 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): 3 CEs – counts as Professional Roles & Boundaries or Law & Ethics CEs | $99.00\nSomatic therapies are increasingly integrated into psychotherapy as clinicians seek ways to address trauma\, stress\, and emotional regulation through the body. However\, incorporating body-based interventions raises important ethical questions related to professional boundaries\, informed consent\, cultural sensitivity\, and the scope of practice. \nThis continuing education workshop explores the ethical use of somatic approaches within psychotherapy\, helping clinicians thoughtfully integrate body-oriented techniques while remaining aligned with professional standards of care. Together\, we will examine common ethical dilemmas that arise when working with breath\, movement\, grounding exercises\, and other somatic practices\, particularly regarding touch\, power dynamics\, trauma sensitivity\, and client autonomy. \nThe workshop will provide practical guidance for obtaining meaningful informed consent\, documenting somatic interventions\, and recognizing when referrals or additional training are necessary. Through case examples\, reflective discussion\, and ethical decision-making frameworks\, clinicians will strengthen their ability to incorporate somatic awareness into therapy while protecting client safety and maintaining clear professional boundaries. \nWorkshop Objectives:\n\nDefine key ethical considerations involved in integrating somatic therapies into psychotherapy\, including issues related to boundaries\, consent\, and scope of practice.\nIdentify potential ethical risks and clinical dilemmas that may arise when using body-based interventions such as breathwork\, grounding exercises\, or movement practices.\nDescribe best practices for obtaining informed consent and maintaining clear therapeutic boundaries when incorporating somatic techniques into clinical work.\nApply ethical decision-making frameworks to determine when somatic interventions are appropriate within a clinician’s scope of practice and when consultation\, referral\, or additional training may be necessary.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n
