SUMMARY:Tarot and Therapy: Intuition and Metaphor
DESCRIPTION:Law & Ethics CEs!\nTarot and Therapy: Intuition and Metaphor\nPresented by: Rebecca Bloom\, LMHC (she/her)\nWhen: Friday\, May 15th\, 2026 | 9:00 am – 4:30 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live in-person at the Shoreline Center\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 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. \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

SUMMARY:SPECIAL SALE! Motivating Clients from Indecision to Action
DESCRIPTION:Last-Minute Deal! $50 Off!\nMotivating Clients from Indecision to Action\nPresented by: Randi Jensen\, MA\, LMHC\, CCDC\nWhen: Thursday\, May 21st\, 2026 | 9:00 am – 4:30 pm Pacific Time\nIf this date doesn’t work for you\, another session is offered on Thursday\, December 10th\, 2026. MORE INFO & REGISTER HERE >>>\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 | $190.00 Now Only $140.00!\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:🆕 SPECIAL SALE! CBT Strategies for Suicidal Clients 🆕
DESCRIPTION:Last-Minute Deal! $30 Off!\nBrand-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 Now Only $65.00!\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
