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 the 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 the client and the counselor in terms of integrating tarot card imagery into the 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 relationships with tarot into counseling\n\nTopics covered during the six-week training:\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\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\nAcceptance and Commitment Therapy\nPoetry Therapy\nIntroducing Tarot Cards to a Client\nClinical Documentation\nTarot and Professional Ethics\nMarketing oneself as a “tarot-friendly therapist”\n\nSix Training Modules: 6-Week Breakdown by Week\nWeek 1 \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\n\nWeek 2 \n\nTarot Is/As Metaphor\nBeyond Metaphor: Pataphor\nProjective Tools in Psychotherapy\nCarl Jung: Therapeutic Tarot’s Forefather\nShadow Work\nThe Hero’s Journey\n\nWeek 3 \n\nTarot And/As Visual Imagery in Art Therapy\nNarrative Therapy\nPsychodrama\nEMDR\, Visual Imagery\, and Metaphoric Cards\nInner Critic Work\n\nWeek 4 \n\nIntrojections\nParts Work\nChairwork\nSolution-Focused Therapy\n\nWeek 5 \n\nAcceptance and Commitment Therapy\nPoetry Therapy\nAsemic Writing for Healing\n\nWeek 6 \n\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:Implicit Bias and Healthcare Equity: The Impact of Self-Awareness
DESCRIPTION:Meets Cultural Competence or Health Equity CE Requirements! \nImplicit Bias and Healthcare Equity: The Impact of Self-Awareness\nPresented by: Dreya Blume\, LCSW\nWhen: Wednesday\, March 25th\, 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 | $99.00\nAge\, race\, ethnicity\, weight\, gender\, social class\, religion\, sexual identity\, gender identity\, profession…this list\, of course\, is incomplete. The point is that there are multitudes of differences between people. Unfortunately\, an interaction with another person can trigger unconsciously held negative or stigmatizing attitudes. Even more worrying\, the research shows that unconscious (i.e.\, implicit) biases of mental health professionals influence how they assess and treat their clients. \nTo address this problem\, this workshop aims to assist clinicians in increasing their awareness of internalized biases toward particular groups. But awareness isn’t enough. We will also explore managing biases\, changing behavior\, and tracking progress. This work will help you reassess your paperwork\, evaluate how you run your clinical practice\, and explore how you might best serve clients\, regardless of their background. \nWe might have little control over our biases\, but what we do have is the power to ensure that those attitudes do not prevent us from treating clients equitably and with dignity. \nWorkshop Objectives:\nParticipants in this workshop will be able to: \n\nDescribe the features of implicit biases.\nLocate and recognize internal biases.\nConsider how to utilize this awareness to create a standard of best practices for their clinical work.\nCreate strategies for managing their implicit biases.\nDevelop strategies that can lead to behavior change in terms of addressing and shifting their biases.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

SUMMARY:SPECIAL SALE! The Science of Gender & Resistance: Empowering Ourselves and Our Clients with Practical Neuroscience
DESCRIPTION:Last-Minute Deal! $30 Off!\nHealthy Equity or Cultural Competence CEs!\nThe Science of Gender & Resistance: Empowering Ourselves and Our Clients with Practical Neuroscience\nPresented by: Hannah Smith\, MA\, LMHC\, CGP\nWhen: Wednesday\, April 22\, 2026| 9:00 am – 12:15 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive workshop details the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 3 Health Equity or Cultural Competence CEs | $95.00 NOW ONLY $65.00!\nGender is a hot-button topic these days\, for sure! There is so much dis- and misinformation out there. There is presently no societal consensus on the meaning of gender identity and the plethora of science behind this. Some people will even go so far as to say there is no science and that it’s “All (simply) about chromosomes.” \nMany of us know on a gut level this is not true\, but we cannot put what we know into words. In fact\, even doctors\, parents\, and transgender and non-binary people themselves can struggle to do so. \nThen\, even if we could explain it\, we face friends\, loved-ones\, and strangers who belittle\, dehumanize\, ignore\, or shut us down whenever we try to explain. Those who know little to nothing about gender will put their own world views over those of a multitude of experts – even to the point of attempting to erase and entire people group. \nAt a time when educating society on this important topic is at an all-time high\, the resistance we face is not only maddening\, it is downright traumatizing. In this training\, you will learn the actual (and abundant) science behind gender development.\nYou will learn to differentiate clearly between sex\, gender\, and orientation and how to articulate it all in a concise and coherent way. \nAND… \nYou will also learn the biology that underlies the resistance LGBTQIA+ people face when attempting to explain themselves. You will gain a new understanding of what is happening inside “the other side” so you or your clients can manage your own nervous system activation during these difficult discussions. Practical techniques will be added to this new understanding to help with emotion regulation and staying empowered. \nObjectives: \n\n1. List and describe the science of gender development and how it differs from sex\,\norientation\, and other aspects of identity\n2. Identify the neurobiological regions in the brain and body responsible for distortions\,\nimplicit bias\, and other psychological resistances\n3. Explain the neurobiological mechanisms of resistance with the aim of helping clients to\nmanage their own activation during difficult discussions\n4. Apply practical\, evidence-based techniques to manage activation and empower more\naccurate storytelling during difficult conversations\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\, 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: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: 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 (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.
