Why 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?
Most 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.
Starting 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.
We 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.
Objectives:

Learn archetypes of Jung and Tarot.
Learn why the creative process soothes the body and the mind.
Find materials you will be comfortable using with your clients.
Use art making for your own self-care.

Morning Session (9:30 AM – 12:45 PM – includes 15-minute break): Washington Confidentiality Law Update
As of July 27th, 2025, the legal framework for confidentiality in behavioral health practice has undergone a significant shift in Washington State. Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs), Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs), and Social Workers are now subject to the standards of RCW 70.02—Washington’s Uniform Health Care Information Act—through its incorporation into RCW 18.225.105. Participants will examine how the newly aligned laws alter confidentiality obligations, reshape definitions of protected information, and introduce updated rules around disclosures, client rights, and documentation practices. Through step-by-step analysis, practical examples, and discussion, this 3-hour workshop will equip attendees to confidently navigate the new legal landscape while upholding core ethical principles.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Identify the sources of legal standards relating to confidentiality;
Understand the relationship between Washington State statutes and federal regulations with respect to client confidentiality;
Describe when disclosure of client information is required;
Describe when disclosure of client information is allowed.

Lunch Break (12:45 PM – 1:45 PM)
Afternoon Session 1 (1:45 PM – 3:45 PM): Law & Ethics of Relationships, Professional Roles, and Boundaries in the Clinical Setting
Boundary 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.
In 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).
In this two-hour section, 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.
This 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.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Apply Washington legal guidelines regarding dual relationships;
Apply ethical standards concerning dual relationships with clients;
Recognize risk factors that may contribute to boundary crossings or violations; and
Create and evaluate strategies to maintain appropriate and ethical clinical relationships.

Afternoon Break (3:45 PM – 4:00 PM)
Afternoon Session 2 (4:00 PM – 5:00 PM): Navigating Diverging State Laws
Recent changes to US federal law and policy have given states more leeway to regulate in vastly different ways. These changing laws may impact clients and clinicians in a variety of ways – particularly when telehealth is delivered across state lines. Through a discussion of a range of various state laws, we will identify the impacts this current regulatory situation has on clinical documentation, on our exposure to liability, and to protection of marginalized populations when delivering clinical services.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Describe the regulatory impact of providing clinical service across state lines.
Identify some other states’ laws that may impact us as Washington-based clinicians and clients.
Understand Washington’s new Protected Health Care Statutes.
Create strategies to appropriately conduct and document clinical services while protecting clients and ourselves.

LAST-MINUTE DEAL! $50 OFF!
Enneagram and Internal Family Systems (IFS): Working with Our EnneaTypes and Our Parts
Presented by Dr. Jennifer Manlowe
Date: Saturday, October 25th, 2025 | 9:00 am – 4:30pm Pacific Time
Where: Live via Zoom (you’ll receive the link the week of the workshop)
Continuing Education Credit Hours: 6 CEs | $190.00 NOW ONLY $140.00
Workshop Description:
Both 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.
In this workshop we will explore how both schools of thought intersect to inspire harmony of mind-body-emotion in our clients and ourselves.
After 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).
You’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.
Returning 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.
The 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.
Both 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.
Whether 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.
OBJECTIVES:
By 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:

Identify the general healing frameworks of Enneagram Wisdom and Internal Family Systems
Use Enneagram Wisdom as a method for “mapping” our IFS parts
Distinguish the systemic origins of one’s EnneaStyle (an intersectional approach)
Uncover how to work with your clients’ (and your own) disowned “parts”
Gain insight into how EnneaStyles and IFS parts can evolve with compassionate curiosity
Build a bridge from your preferred therapeutic models to your newfound Ennea and IFS Insights
