You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 6 CEs | $199.00\nOther 2026 Sessions:\n\n\nFriday\, July 24th\, 2026: MORE INFO & REGISTER>>>\n\n\nFriday\, November 6th\, 2026: MORE INFO & REGISTER>>>\n\n\nThis workshop meets the Washington State suicide assessment requirements for re-licensure. The Washington State Department of Health has approved this 6-hour workshop for its 2022 Model List. This workshop also satisfies the continuing education requirements set by the Department of Health related to suicide assessment\, management\, and treatment.\nHistorically\, mental health treatment for suicidal individuals has involved extensive psychopharmacology\, repeated cognitive behavioral therapy\, positive psychology methods\, stress reduction exercises\, and/or deep therapy into family-of-origin issues\, all proven individually insufficient for the long-term prevention of suicide and suicidality. \nThe World Health Organization (2019) reported decreasing trends in suicide mortality in most countries across the world. Unfortunately\, the mortality of suicide showed an increasing trend in the United States. Between 2000 and 2018\, the suicide rate skyrocketed\, increasing by a whopping 35% (CDC\, 2020). Interestingly\, during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic\, between 2020 and 2021\, there was a decrease in suicide rates. This was short-lived\, unfortunately\, as suicide rates began to increase again by 2% in 2022 (CDC\, 2022). \nWhat can we do? As clinicians\, we need to understand there are many roads to suicidality — each usually requiring individual intervention. \nThis workshop presents original concepts in the development of suicidality as an ingenious coping mechanism that develops over time. The brain’s neuroplasticity forms neural pathways that underpin the reinforcing suicidal thought pattern. Brain retraining provides the formation of new healthy neural pathways. The healing process is directed\, encouraged\, and supported through a specifically designed peer protocol based on existing evidence-based social support. \nResearch shows that the first suicide attempt is often the first time anyone intervenes. However\, it is generally not the first time the danger has been known. Loved ones just don’t know what to do. They take the suicidal individual to a hospital or professional where the treatment protocol has not changed for decades. When the suicidal individual comes home after the attempt\, family and friends don’t know how to help prevent the next one. The Jensen Suicide Peer Protocol (JSP3)\, based on evidence-based principles\, is a prescribed method for the family members and concerned others to take an active part in the recovery of their loved one. Randi has used this method for decades and has saved lives. \nOBJECTIVES:\n• Describe the extent of suicide in the general and special populations\, including children\, adolescents\, and military personnel.\n• Distinguish what suicidality is and the difference between self-harm and suicidality\n• Explain the psychobiology of suicidality and its progression\n• Articulate warning signs and symptoms using simple and effective suicide assessment tools\n• Express and practice Motivational Interviewing techniques used in counseling suicidal individuals\n• Explain a life-saving peer support protocol and how to implement it\n• Describe ethical considerations\, documentation\, and confidentiality issues. \nThe Washington State Department of Health has approved this 6-hour workshop for its 2022 Model List. This workshop also satisfies the continuing education requirements set by the Department of Health related to suicide assessment\, management\, and treatment. \nRandi consistently receives excellent evaluations from attendees of her workshops. Here are just a few quotes from past attendees:\n*  “I took a different class about suicide a few months back. It was so heavy with content and so focused on how to cross every “T” and dot every “I” that I actually left more anxious about treating suicidal clients than before. In contrast\, Randi’s workshop gave me a broader general understanding and a way to connect the clinical skills I already have to the treatment of these clients. I feel much more confident and competent working with suicidal clients now.” \n* “Ms. Jensen is an extremely competent clinician and presenter. Over my 30+ career in mental health work\, this is one of the very best workshops I have attended. Thank you\, Cascadia and Randi!”  \n* “This is the most impactful continuing education class I’ve ever taken!” \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

SUMMARY:Clinical Supervision Training: (Almost) Everything You Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Meets requirements to become an approved clinical supervisor!\nLaw & Ethics CEs!\nClinical Supervision Training: (Almost) Everything You Need to Know\nPresented by: Eric Ström\, PhD\, Attorney at Law\, LMHC \nWhen: Wednesday\, May 6th – Friday\, May 8th\, 2026 | 9:30 AM – 2:30 PM Pacific Time each day\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 15 CEs (10 Law & Ethics CEs) | $395.00 (see below for payment options)\nThis workshop meets the training requirement for becoming an Approved Clinical Supervisor.\nProviding supervision can be a rewarding addition to a clinical practice. However\, many clinicians are reluctant to become supervisors due to legal and ethical liability concerns.  These concerns are often increased by a lack of accurate information about the true risks of liability faced by supervisors. \nThrough direct instructions\, presentation of real-life scenarios\, and group discussions\, participants will understand the fundamentals of supervision best practices to improve their effectiveness and skill as clinical supervisors. \nThis three-day\, 15-hour supervision workshop is designed to meet the training requirements for Washington State Approved Supervisors.\nObjectives:\n• Identify and assess sources of significant liability in supervision; \n• Construct effective strategies for creating a sound supervision agreement; \n• Describe key conceptual frameworks for supervision; \n• Compare various theoretical approaches to supervision; \n• Contrast various types of supervisory relationships; \n• Examine the benefits between group and individual supervision settings; \n• Summarize the legal and ethical regulation of supervision; \n• Maximize supervisor\, supervisee\, and client success through supervision structure; \n• Integrate regulation and practice to provide quality supervision documentation. \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 and a limited number of discounts for students and early professionals. \nFor payment plans\, you can select paying 50% today and 50% due by May 31st\, 2026. \nPlease email us at hello@cascadiatraining.org to inquire about possible discounts. \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

SUMMARY:Love What Hurts
DESCRIPTION:Back by Popular Demand!\nLove What Hurts\nPresented by: Lisha Song\, LMHC\nWhen: Friday\, May 8th\, 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 CEs |$190.00\nIn this workshop\, attendees will learn how to notice where emotions are felt in the body from an observer’s point of view\, recognize negative beliefs that are attached to these emotions (i.e.\, “I’m not good enough”)\, and identify the past events/experiences that are related to these emotions. Attendees will also learn how to neutralize these emotions and negative cognitions through an ego-state practice called the “Clearing Exercise.” \nClinicians who attend will learn techniques to enhance positive feelings\, sensations\, or beliefs through bilateral stimulation (tapping). \nBy the end of this one-day training\, you will be able to teach your clients these skills\, so they can experience self-compassion and clarity of thought\, and learn to follow their own inner guidance to make better decisions.  \nWORKSHOP OBJECTIVES: \n\nUnderstanding how the body stores past emotional wounding and traumatic experiences\, noticing where those emotions are felt specifically in the body by becoming an “observer” of the experience\, and learning how to neutralize those feelings and sensations.\n Exercising the power of imagination or a “felt sense” and befriending those wounded parts of Self\, and learn how to nurture those parts.\nUnderstanding our ever-sophisticated nervous system through the lens of the Polyvagal Theory and utilizing its tools to further our management of it.\nRecognizing how negative beliefs about the self manifest over time and become part of our identity.\nLearning to awaken the unconscious through the “sixth sense” of intuition and spiritual connection\, and adopt more trust in your own inner knowing. When nervous systems are hijacked by emotional triggers\, we tend not to trust our intuition.\nFeeling more empowered and compassionate when triggers from past experiences hijack the nervous system by practicing Lisha’s Clearing Exercise and teaching it to clients.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

SUMMARY:Motivational Interviewing: Improving Client Outcomes by Increasing Intrinsic Motivation for Change
DESCRIPTION:Motivational Interviewing: Improving Client Outcomes by Increasing Intrinsic Motivation for Change\nPresented by: Randi Jensen\, MA\, LMHC\, CCDC\nWhen: Thursday\, May 21st\, 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 CEs | $190.00\nMotivational Interviewing (MI) is an established evidence-based practice renowned for resolving ambivalence. MI\, which originates in substance use disorder treatment\, has been shown to enhance client motivation for change and improve treatment outcomes.  The spirit of MI complements Self-Determination Theory (SDI)\, which asserts that people have an intrinsic desire to make life changes congruent with their core values. SDI states that people are more likely to be internally motivated if their actions\, beliefs\, and core values align.  Motivational Interviewing provides the technique to make that happen. \nThe principles of Motivational Interviewing include providing accurate empathy\, building discrepancy\, rolling with resistance\, and increasing self-efficacy. These supply the basis for building intrinsic motivation for change and can facilitate the resolution of life-threatening ambivalence in suicidality. \nResearchers Britton\, Williams\, and Connor (2008) show how the therapist’s proficiency in Motivational Interviewing can resolve a client’s ambivalence and resistance to change. \nThis very practical workshop includes learning through lectures\, interactive discussions\, demonstrations\, video role plays\, and skill-building through group exercises. These methods combine to provide techniques and interventions that can be applied immediately. \nObjectives:\n• Describe the principles that underpin Motivational Interviewing and how they promote client autonomy \n• Articulate the distinguishing techniques of open-ended questions\, affirmations\, reflective listening\, and summarizations \n• Explain the Stages of Change as described by Prochaska and DiClemente (1983) \n• Discuss the significance of Self-Determination Theory in coordination with MI \n• Distinguish different methods of using MI with specific populations and varied disorders \n• Express and practice Motivational Interviewing techniques used in counseling suicidal individuals \n• Describe ethical considerations and documentation \n• Enumerate necessary therapist qualities that support the efficient use of MI \nRandi is an expert in both using and teaching Motivational Interviewing. In addition to her many years of presenting Cascadia Training workshops\, she taught Motivational Interviewing courses as an adjunct faculty member at Bastyr University and as Case Management Program Director for Antioch University and Seattle’s Job Initiative. She also uses her expert-level skills in Motivational Interviewing in her private practice\, specializing in treating clients with suicidality\, suicide ideation\, substance use disorders\, and more. \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

SUMMARY:🆕 BRAND-NEW! CBT Strategies for Suicidal Clients 🆕
DESCRIPTION:Brand-New!\nCognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Strategies for Suicidal Clients\nPresented by: Diane Bigler\, LCSW\, LSCSW\nWhen: Thursday\, May 28th\, 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 CEs | $95.00 \nNOTE: This workshop does NOT meet the Department of Health suicide assessment CE requirements.\nCognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approaches offer effective support and intervention for suicidal clients. Participants will learn the core tenets of the CBT model as it applies specifically to suicidal thinking and behavior\, including how cognitive distortions\, emotional dysregulation\, and behavioral avoidance contribute to acute risk. \nThrough lecture\, case examples\, and guided practice\, the course demonstrates how clinicians can use CBT’s structured\, collaborative\, and transparent framework to better understand the drivers of suicidality and create targeted\, individualized treatment plans. \nThe course also explores the concept of the “suicide mode\,” helping therapists recognize the cognitive\, affective\, physiological\, and behavioral patterns that become activated during moments of heightened risk. Participants will be introduced to at least five CBT-oriented intervention methods—including cognitive restructuring\, behavioral activation\, problem-solving training\, safety planning\, and distress-management skills—that directly support clients in reducing suicidal urges and increasing coping capacity. \nWorkshop Objectives:\n\nIdentify at least four core tenets of the CBT model and the conceptualization of suicide.\nDescribe key cognitive and behavioral factors that emerge during activation of the suicide mode.\nExplain at least five CBT-oriented methods of providing suicide intervention to clients.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

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! More than a Personality Test: How to Work Mindfully with Enneagram
DESCRIPTION:BRAND-NEW!\nHealth Equity or Cultural Competence CEs\nMore than a Personality Test: How to Work Mindfully with Enneagram\nPresented by: Dr. Jennifer Manlowe\nWhen: Thursday\, June 11th\, 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 CEs – 2 Meet Health Equity or Cultural Competence Requirements | Cost: $199.00\nThis continuing education workshop weaves mindfulness practice and Enneagram wisdom to help clinicians recognize how personality patterns emerge as adaptive responses to suffering. Through meditation\, inquiry\, and embodied awareness\, participants learn how to work skillfully with shame\, fixation\, and reactivity—supporting clients with complex PTSD in moving from defensive patterning toward grounded presence and self-compassion. \nWORKSHOP OBJECTIVES:\nBy the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to see: \n\nA framing of Enneagram as a map of psycho-social conditioning— not as a typology to label clients\, but as a lens on how trauma crystallizes around core fears and strategies.\nTools to use mindfulness and meditation practices as nervous-system support— practices that cultivate tolerance for experience rather than bypass it.\nWorking with manifestations of shame as central to therapy— how each type organizes around avoiding a specific wound\, and how mindfulness softens that structure.\nEmbodiment and gentleness— aligning with somatic psychotherapy by staying close to lived\, felt experience rather than abstract insight.\nLearning how to help our clients move from fixation to freedom— reframing personality not as pathology\, but as a doorway to awakening.\n\nThe tone of this workshop is non-pathologizing and invitational—less about technique and more about cultivating our own therapeutic presence as the primary healing field. Attendees will experience a workshop that is: \n\nExperiential rather than overly theoretical\nFocused on befriending rather than fixing\nEmphasizing compassion\, specificity\, and curiosity\nFraming the Enneagram as a map of ego survival strategies that can be met with mindfulness awareness\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Enneagram and Internal Family Systems (IFS): Working with Our EnneaTypes and Our Parts
DESCRIPTION:Enneagram and Internal Family Systems (IFS): Working with Our EnneaTypes and Our Parts\nPresented by: Dr. Jennifer Manlowe\nWhen: Thursday\, July 23rd\, 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 CEs | Cost: $190.00\nWorkshop Description:\nBoth Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the Enneagram have been used to gather people eager to understand and work with troubling thoughts\, feelings\, and behaviors\, and to do so on a deeper level than “Talk Therapy” alone. \nIn this continuing education workshop\, we will explore how both schools of thought intersect to inspire harmony of mind-body-emotion in our clients and ourselves. \nAfter attending this workshop\, you’ll be on your way to understanding the basics of the Enneagram as a Wisdom Tradition and the fundamentals of IFS as a psychotherapeutic model (developed in the 1990s). \nYou’ll see that both schools of thought work to map out parts or sub-personalities within us—each with its own thoughts\, motivations\, and behaviors eager for transformation. For instance\, with the Enneagram\, there are “three centers of intelligence\,” and in IFS\, there are three categories of parts: managers\, firefighters\, and exiles. Meeting and interviewing these parts has the power to foster freedom from old ideas of self and others. \nReturning to what Enneagram calls our essence or “higher self” and leaning into what IFS calls “Self-Energy” will be explored. Tripartite awareness practices will be shared. \nThe Enneagram is a personality typing test with nine distinct types of people. Like parts\, each type has its own core fears\, desires\, and motivations. When translated\, this symbol offers a psychospiritual model for growth that can be used by health professionals\, coaches\, and spiritual directors to gain self-awareness about patterns in clients’ (and our own) relationships. \nBoth the Enneagram and IFS methods can give us valuable insights into why our clients do the things they do and how to unmask and transform harmful behaviors in a curious\, compassionate\, and nonjudgmental way. \nWhether you’re looking to understand yourself better as a helping professional\, strengthen your skills with your clients\, or cultivate growth through tri-partite awareness (mind-body-heart) work\, both models provide tools that will deepen insights and help you along the way. \nWORKSHOP OBJECTIVES:\nBy the end of the workshop\, you’ll be able to assist your clients in finding an integrative approach on their path to healing by first: \n\nIdentify the general healing frameworks of Enneagram Wisdom and Internal Family Systems\nUse Enneagram Wisdom as a method for “mapping” our IFS parts\nDistinguish the systemic origins of one’s EnneaStyle (an intersectional approach)\nUncover how to work with your clients’ (and your own) disowned “parts”\nGain insight into how EnneaStyles and IFS parts can evolve with compassionate curiosity\nBuild a bridge from your preferred therapeutic models to your newfound Ennea and IFS Insights\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Youth and Adult Suicide: Recognition\, Assessment\, and Treatment of Suicidality
DESCRIPTION:This workshop meets the suicide assessment requirements for re-licensure.\nYouth and Adult Suicide: Recognition\, Assessment\, and Treatment of Suicidality\nPresented by: Randi Jensen\, MA\, LMHC\, CCDC\nWhen: Friday\, July 24th\, 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 CEs | $199.00\nOther 2026 Sessions:\n\n\nFriday\, November 6th\, 2026: MORE INFO & REGISTER>>>\n\n\nThis workshop meets the Washington State suicide assessment requirements for re-licensure. The Washington State Department of Health has approved this 6-hour workshop for its 2022 Model List. This workshop also satisfies the continuing education requirements set by the Department of Health related to suicide assessment\, management\, and treatment.\nHistorically\, mental health treatment for suicidal individuals has involved extensive psychopharmacology\, repeated cognitive behavioral therapy\, positive psychology methods\, stress reduction exercises\, and/or deep therapy into family-of-origin issues\, all proven individually insufficient for the long-term prevention of suicide and suicidality. \nThe World Health Organization (2019) reported decreasing trends in suicide mortality in most countries across the world. Unfortunately\, the mortality of suicide showed an increasing trend in the United States. Between 2000 and 2018\, the suicide rate skyrocketed\, increasing by a whopping 35% (CDC\, 2020). Interestingly\, during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic\, between 2020 and 2021\, there was a decrease in suicide rates. This was short-lived\, unfortunately\, as suicide rates began to increase again by 2% in 2022 (CDC\, 2022). \nWhat can we do? As clinicians\, we need to understand there are many roads to suicidality — each usually requiring individual intervention. \nThis workshop presents original concepts in the development of suicidality as an ingenious coping mechanism that develops over time. The brain’s neuroplasticity forms neural pathways that underpin the reinforcing suicidal thought pattern. Brain retraining provides the formation of new healthy neural pathways. The healing process is directed\, encouraged\, and supported through a specifically designed peer protocol based on existing evidence-based social support. \nResearch shows that the first suicide attempt is often the first time anyone intervenes. However\, it is generally not the first time the danger has been known. Loved ones just don’t know what to do. They take the suicidal individual to a hospital or professional where the treatment protocol has not changed for decades. When the suicidal individual comes home after the attempt\, family and friends don’t know how to help prevent the next one. The Jensen Suicide Peer Protocol (JSP3)\, based on evidence-based principles\, is a prescribed method for the family members and concerned others to take an active part in the recovery of their loved one. Randi has used this method for decades and has saved lives. \nOBJECTIVES:\n• Describe the extent of suicide in the general and special populations\, including children\, adolescents\, and military personnel.\n• Distinguish what suicidality is and the difference between self-harm and suicidality\n• Explain the psychobiology of suicidality and its progression\n• Articulate warning signs and symptoms using simple and effective suicide assessment tools\n• Express and practice Motivational Interviewing techniques used in counseling suicidal individuals\n• Explain a life-saving peer support protocol and how to implement it\n• Describe ethical considerations\, documentation\, and confidentiality issues. \nThe Washington State Department of Health has approved this 6-hour workshop for its 2022 Model List. This workshop also satisfies the continuing education requirements set by the Department of Health related to suicide assessment\, management\, and treatment. \nRandi consistently receives excellent evaluations from attendees of her workshops. Here are just a few quotes from past attendees:\n*  “I took a different class about suicide a few months back. It was so heavy with content and so focused on how to cross every “T” and dot every “I” that I actually left more anxious about treating suicidal clients than before. In contrast\, Randi’s workshop gave me a broader general understanding and a way to connect the clinical skills I already have to the treatment of these clients. I feel much more confident and competent working with suicidal clients now.” \n* “Ms. Jensen is an extremely competent clinician and presenter. Over my 30+ career in mental health work\, this is one of the very best workshops I have attended. Thank you\, Cascadia and Randi!”  \n* “This is the most impactful continuing education class I’ve ever taken!” \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

SUMMARY:🆕BRAND-NEW! Burnout Prevention: The Ethics of Self-Care in Clinical Practice 🆕
DESCRIPTION:Brand-New!\nLaw & Ethics CEs!\nBurnout Prevention: The Ethics of Self-Care in Clinical Practice\nPresented by: Dreya Blume\, LCSW\nWhen: Wednesday\, October 28th\, 2026 | 9:00 am – 12:00 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 Law & Ethics CEs | $99.00\nBurnout prevention is not a luxury — it is an ethical responsibility embedded in competent clinical care. \nThis continuing education workshop invites clinicians to examine burnout through the lens of professional ethics\, exploring how chronic stress\, overextension\, compassion fatigue\, and systemic pressures impact clinical judgment\, attunement\, documentation quality\, and client safety. Grounded in professional codes of ethics and supported by research on clinician impairment and occupational stress\, this experiential training moves beyond surface-level “self-care tips” to address sustainable boundaries\, workload realities\, values alignment\, and structural inequities in the field. \nParticipants will engage in reflective exercises\, case analysis\, and practical planning to develop ethically grounded\, prevention-focused strategies that protect both client welfare and clinician longevity. \nWorkshop Objectives:\nBy the end of this training\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify ethical standards related to clinician competence\, impairment\, and self-monitoring\, and explain how burnout can compromise clinical effectiveness and client welfare.\nAnalyze the impact of chronic stress and occupational burnout on therapeutic presence\, decision-making\, boundary clarity\, and risk management.\nApply at least three ethically grounded burnout-prevention strategies that support sustainable practice\, including boundary-setting\, workload calibration\, and systemic advocacy.\nDevelop a personalized\, values-aligned burnout prevention plan that integrates ethical responsibility with realistic professional demands.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Motivational Interviewing: Improving Client Outcomes by Increasing Intrinsic Motivation for Change
DESCRIPTION:Motivational Interviewing: Improving Client Outcomes by Increasing Intrinsic Motivation for Change\nPresented by: Randi Jensen\, MA\, LMHC\, CCDC\nWhen: Thursday\, December 10th\, 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 CEs | $190.00\nMotivational Interviewing (MI) is an established evidence-based practice renowned for resolving ambivalence. MI\, which originates in substance use disorder treatment\, has been shown to enhance client motivation for change and improve treatment outcomes.  The spirit of MI complements Self-Determination Theory (SDI)\, which asserts that people have an intrinsic desire to make life changes congruent with their core values. SDI states that people are more likely to be internally motivated if their actions\, beliefs\, and core values align.  Motivational Interviewing provides the technique to make that happen.\n\nThe principles of Motivational Interviewing include providing accurate empathy\, building discrepancy\, rolling with resistance\, and increasing self-efficacy. These supply the basis for building intrinsic motivation for change and can facilitate the resolution of life-threatening ambivalence in suicidality.\n\nResearchers Britton\, Williams\, and Connor (2008) show how the therapist’s proficiency in Motivational Interviewing can resolve a client’s ambivalence and resistance to change.\n\nThis very practical workshop includes learning through lectures\, interactive discussions\, demonstrations\, video role plays\, and skill-building through group exercises. These methods combine to provide techniques and interventions that can be applied immediately.\nObjectives:\n• Describe the principles that underpin Motivational Interviewing and how they promote client autonomy\n\n• Articulate the distinguishing techniques of open-ended questions\, affirmations\, reflective listening\, and summarizations\n\n• Explain the Stages of Change as described by Prochaska and DiClemente (1983)\n\n• Discuss the significance of Self-Determination Theory in coordination with MI\n\n• Distinguish different methods of using MI with specific populations and varied disorders\n\n• Express and practice Motivational Interviewing techniques used in counseling suicidal individuals\n\n• Describe ethical considerations and documentation\n\n• Enumerate necessary therapist qualities that support the efficient use of MI\n\nRandi is an expert in both using and teaching Motivational Interviewing. In addition to her many years of presenting Cascadia Training workshops\, she taught Motivational Interviewing courses as an adjunct faculty member at Bastyr University and as Case Management Program Director for Antioch University and Seattle’s Job Initiative. She also uses her expert-level skills in Motivational Interviewing in her private practice\, specializing in treating clients with suicidality\, suicide ideation\, substance use disorders\, and more.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n \n\n
