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: February 4th through March 11th\, 2026\, from 10:00 am – 1:15 pm Pacific / 1:00 pm – 4:15 pm Eastern\n\nWednesday\, February 4th\, 2026 | 10:00 am – 1:15 pm Pacific / 1:00 pm – 4:15 pm Eastern\nWednesday\, February 11th\, 2026 | 10:00 am – 1:15 pm Pacific / 1:00 pm – 4:15 pm Eastern\nWednesday\, February 18th\, 2026 | 10:00 am – 1:15 pm Pacific / 1:00 pm – 4:15 pm Eastern\nWednesday\, February 25th\, 2026 | 10:00 am – 1:15 pm Pacific / 1:00 pm – 4:15 pm Eastern\nWednesday\, March 4th\, 2026 | 10:00 am – 1:15 pm Pacific / 1:00 pm – 4:15 pm Eastern\nWednesday\, March 11th\, 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.

You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 2 Professional Relationships and Boundaries CEs and 1 Law & Ethics CE | $109.00\nWorkshop Description:\nBoundary violations are among the most common reasons for professional discipline of behavioral health clinicians. Dual relationships—both intentional and unintentional—can arise in many forms and often present ethical\, clinical\, and legal challenges. \nIn recognition of this significant cause of misconduct\, as of October 2025\, the Washington Department of Health has implemented a new requirement for two hours of continuing education in “Professional Roles and Boundaries” every two years (the new Washington State continuing education requirements according to WAC 246-809-630 can be found here). \nIn this two-hour workshop\, we will examine Washington State laws and professional ethical standards regarding personal and dual relationships with clients. Drawing from recent Washington Department of Health disciplinary decisions\, participants will engage with real-world case studies that illustrate common risk areas. The workshop will also offer practical strategies for establishing and maintaining appropriate clinical boundaries in everyday practice. \nThis course is designed to meet the Washington State Department of Health’s requirement for continuing education in Professional Roles and Boundaries according to WAC 246-809-630. \nThe third “bonus” hour will be a question-and-answer session with Eric and will include discussion of complex ethical cases involving professional roles and boundaries. \nWorkshop Objectives:\nBy the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nImplement strategies to maximize clinical effectiveness while minimizing liability risk;\nApply Washington legal guidelines regarding dual relationships;\nApply ethical standards concerning personal relationships with clients;\nIdentify and describe various types of inconsistent dual relationships;\nRecognize risk factors that may contribute to boundary crossings or violations; and\nCreate and evaluate strategies to maintain appropriate and ethical clinical relationships.\n\n  \n

DESCRIPTION:Health Equity or Cultural Competence CEs!\nChronic Pain: Psychological and Somatic Strategies that Offer Relief and Hope\nPresented by: Dreya Blume\, LCSW\nWhen: Thursday\, February 12\, 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: 3 Health Equity or Cultural Competence CEs | $95.00 \nWorkshop Description\nChronic pain is not only physically debilitating – it also causes mental\, emotional\, and spiritual suffering. It is easy to become hopeless. To feel betrayed by one’s own body. To feel overwhelming grief and anger. Moreover\, when the root of chronic pain is a mystery\, that sense of confusion and helplessness can be overwhelming. \nThankfully\, there is hope. This interactive and experiential training will explore non-pharmaceutical ways to address chronic pain. You will learn practical\, evidence-based tools and strategies to share with clients. We’ll examine how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approach pain management. I will also introduce you to the Emotional Freedom Technique\, a research-based somatic modality that is highly effective in mitigating the emotional distress associated with chronic pain. \nWe will also discuss how clients can use mindfulness techniques to change their relationship with their physical distress. In addition\, we will explore the pain management benefits of yoga\, hypnosis\, guided imagery\, somatic tracking\, and more. \nClients with chronic pain can feel powerless about their situation. What you learn in this training will empower your clients as they discover that living with chronic pain doesn’t have to be a life sentence. \nObjectives:\n• Identify the emotional\, mental\, and spiritual impacts of living with chronic pain.\n• Understand at least ten non-pharmaceutical ways to manage chronic pain.\n• Become familiar with the emotional issues surrounding chronic pain.\n• Discuss the role of grief and anger in living with chronic pain.\n• Practice somatic modalities such as Emotional Freedom Technique and Mindfulness tools.\n• Explore newer pain management tools such as somatic tracking.\n• Identify how to introduce pain management techniques appropriately to clients. \n  \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

SUMMARY:Un-Masking Neurodivergence: Non-Pathologizing Tools for Engaging Neurodivergent Populations
DESCRIPTION:Meets Health Equity or Cultural Competence Continuing Education CE Criteria!\nUn-Masking Neurodivergence: Non-Pathologizing Tools for Engaging Neurodivergent Populations\nPresented by: Hannah Smith\, MA\, LMHC\, CGP\nWhen: Thursday\, February 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.\n\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 3 CEs (can be used for Health Equity or Cultural Competence CEs) | $99.00\nIf you are in the mental health field and have not had a neurodivergent (ND) client\, you will. \nThis can be daunting to clinicians working within the medical model for several reasons. One may not know if a client is neurodivergent (ND). As ND people often do not see themselves as needing to be “fixed\,” they may not feel certain treatment approaches and/or vocabulary apply to them – and yet they are in our offices seeking help. Many self-diagnose\, and there are as many presentations of neurodivergence as there are neurodivergent people. How do we conceptualize working with this population? \nOne approach is to de-center the neurotypical classification of behavior as the primary issue and focus treatment instead on the identification and remediation of associated trauma. Sadly\, trauma and Neurodivergence often go together\, and one of the primary results of this is masking. \nMasking is the compensatory strategy many ND people develop to manage social expectations. This skill initially allows them to “fit in” better. Over the long term\, though\, the masking takes a huge toll and most often results in extreme mental and emotional fatigue\, chronic and extreme emotional dysregulation\, exacerbated learning difficulties\, and frightening and isolating trauma responses. \nThis session will introduce a non-pathologizing tool that streamlines the conceptualization of neurodivergence and masking by examining ten common areas in which neurodivergent people demonstrate significant differences compared to their neurotypical counterparts. A qualitative and quantitative view of masking will emerge by mapping each unique individual’s experience and comparing it to their social experience. Clients will experience a reduction in shame\, an ability to communicate their experience better\, and a method by which providers can better help them discern their needs in any situation. \nObjectives:\n\nList the ten areas of Neurodivergence in non-pathologizing terms\nCreate a conceptualization of an individual’s neurodivergence with the Wheel of Neurodivergence\nIdentify areas and degrees of masking and create treatment plans to address them\, determining approaches of accommodation versus adaptation\nApply new learning to case studies and real-time practice\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

SUMMARY:Kinky Sex Ed and Poly 101: A One-Day\, Two-Session Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Law & Ethics\, Health Equity\, or Cultural Competence CEs!\nKinky Sex Ed and Poly 101: A One-Day\, Two-Session Workshop\nPresented by: B Lourenco\, MA\, LMHC (she/her)\nWhen: Friday\, February 13th\, 2026| 9:00 AM – 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: 6 Law & Ethics\, Health Equity\, or Cultural Competence CEs | Cost: $199.00 \nMorning Session: Kinky Sex Ed for Clinicians (9:00 AM – 12:00 PM\, Pacific) \nIn graduate school\, many programs offered a very limited education on human sexual development. The topics covered were largely typical\, normative experiences. This type of education leaves out so many other ways of being and leaves large gaps in our education about alternative ways of engaging with sex and relationships.  Both sessions of this one-day workshop–Kinky Sex Ed and Poly 101–are intended to help fill the gaps in clinical education and understanding. The goal is that the clinicians who attend will be more fully informed\, more inclusive in their approach\, and better able to support clients with “non-normative” sexual identities and experiences.  Kink refers to any sexual interest or behavior that is outside what is considered normative. Research indicates that many people have explored kinks at some point in their lives\, with many people having a kink as a core component of their sexual experiences. This course will identify common kink terms\, concepts\, and identities so that the clinicians who attend can better support kinky-identified clients. \nObjectives:\n\nLearn how kink is defined and connected to social constructs of normativity\nHave a basic understanding of common kink identities\nLearn basic kink terms and cultural norms\nKnow the differences between and among kinks\, fetishes\, and BDSM\nExplore how kinks develop and change over time and sexual development\nDefine healthy and ethical kink\nIdentify ethical concerns in kink culture\n\nAfternoon Session: Poly 101 for Clinicians (1:00 PM – 4:00 PM)\nIn graduate school\, many programs offered a very limited education on human sexual development\, and the topics covered were largely typical\, normative experiences. This type of education leaves out so many other ways of being and leaves large gaps in our education about alternate ways of engaging with sex and relationships. Kinky Sex Ed and Poly 101 are both intended to help fill the gaps in clinical education and understanding so that clinicians can be more informed and able to support clients with “non-normative” sexual identities and experiences. The socialization that prioritizes monogamy starts very early in Western culture\, with messages about faithfulness\, loyalty\, jealousy\, and love all being inexplicably intertwined. The reality is that–for many people–monogamy simply doesn’t work well for them. This course will explore key terms and concepts of Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM) and how to offer support to our clients in the clinical setting. \nObjectives: \n\nLearn monogamous and non-monogamous relationship types\nExplore basic terms and concepts of ethical non-monogamy (ENM)\nIdentify the role of monogamy culture on all relationship types\nDefine the differences between envy\, jealousy\, and trauma responses when navigating ENM\nUnderstand common ethical concerns in ENM\nIdentify the benefits associated with non-monogamous relationship dynamics\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:🆕BRAND-NEW! An Introduction to the Ethical Use of Assessment Measures 🆕
DESCRIPTION:🆕BRAND-NEW!🆕\nLaw & Ethics CEs!\nAn Introduction to the Ethical Use of Assessment Measures\n  \nPresented by: Dr. Brenda Butterfield\, EdD\, MSW\, LMHC \nWhen: Friday\, February 20th\, 2026 | 9:00 AM – 1:15 PM\, Pacific Time\nWhere: Live via Zoom. You’ll receive the link via email the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 4 Law & Ethics CEs | $125.00\nCommunicating care to clients is essential for developing a therapeutic alliance. But with the increased focus on client treatment outcomes\, communicating care can be overshadowed — and even lost — when assessing\, evaluating\, writing treatment plans\, and monitoring progress.  Thank goodness purposefully using assessment measures can do both! Using them can help create a therapeutic alliance by supporting clinicians and clients when used ethically and in client-centered ways. \nAssessment measures can identify a wide array of clinical concerns used to diagnose disorders and validate a client’s lived experience. When used ethically\, they can be used to develop a client-centered treatment plan and monitor client progress throughout treatment. Working together\, clinicians and clients can use them to connect\, learn\, and grow. \nBut it appears many clinicians don’t use them. Learning how to access\, score\, and use them efficiently throughout treatment can be overwhelming. But with an easy\, purposeful process\, that can all change! \nLearn a purposeful process for using free\, evidence-based assessment measures that are valid\, reliable measures to assess clients’ overall health and assess depression\, generalized anxiety\, panic disorder\, social anxiety\, trauma\, and substance use. Ethical implications will be highlighted for using measures efficiently and effectively from intake to discharge\, while focusing on client-centered care and the therapeutic alliance throughout. \nWorkshop Objectives:\n\nLearn how to use assessment measures ethically and in client-centered ways to support the development and growth of a therapeutic alliance from start to finish.\nLearn how to skillfully engage clients with assessment measures to support and inform assessment\, diagnosis\, treatment\, and evaluation of care provided.\nPractice administering and scoring assessment measures during the workshop for proficiency in diagnosing and treating common disorders\, including depression\, panic disorder\, generalized anxiety disorder\, social anxiety disorder\, trauma\, and substance disorders.\nIncrease knowledge of copyright rules and identify free assessment measures that are valid\, reliable and easily accessed in the public domain.\n\nREGISTER HERE\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\, February 20\, 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 (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

You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 3 CEs | $95.00\nFor many clients\, people-pleasing is not just a habit: it began as a survival strategy.
