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

SUMMARY:Tarot and Therapy: Intuition and Metaphor
DESCRIPTION:Law & Ethics CEs!\nTarot and Therapy: Intuition and Metaphor\nPresented by: Rebecca Bloom\, ATR-BC\, LMHC (she/her)\nWhen: Friday\, August 7th\, 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 Credits: CEs: 6 CEs – 3 Law & Ethics CEs | $199.00\, which includes $174.00 tuition plus $25.00 for Ephemera Art Supply Packs Created by Rebecca Bloom Especially for Cascadia Training Registrants. Art supply packs will be mailed to registrants in advance of the workshop.\nWhy 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? \nMost 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. \nStarting 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. \nWe 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. \nObjectives:\n\nLearn archetypes of Jung and Tarot.\nLearn why the creative process soothes the body and the mind.\nFind materials you will be comfortable using with your clients.\nUse art making for your own self-care.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n
