It is not uncommon for clinicians to encounter clients who are experiencing shame in various aspects of their life. Shame, guilt, and self-criticism play a critical role in quality of life and mental health. Fear can lead to unhealthy coping strategies and emotional distress.
This training will explore elements of shame common in mental health that may disrupt healthy functioning. Strengthen your skills and clinical knowledge in facilitating therapeutic interventions with clients to end the powerful hold of shame, guilt and self-criticism. A resilience-growth model will be presented to help your clients develop acceptance of themselves, others, and the reality necessary for the effective treatment of trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, binge eating, substance use, and anger issues.

Explain at least five core concepts of shame and three examples of shame related to mental health.
Discover multiple therapeutic approaches and interventions to address shame with clients.
Employ resilience-growth models of shame recovery to enhance coping and wellness.

This 3-hour continuing education course offers mental health professionals an in-depth introduction to an intersectional feminist approach to therapy, a framework grounded in social justice, client empowerment, and systems-level awareness. Participants will examine how intersecting identities—such as race, gender, sexuality, ability, and class—impact mental health, therapeutic dynamics, and access to care. Drawing from historical foundations and contemporary applications, this course supports clinicians in integrating socially responsive, identity-informed care into their existing therapeutic practices.
Through a blend of lecture, case studies, and reflective discussion, participants will trace the evolution of feminist therapy, including contributions from Womanist and Mujerista psychologies, and analyze how dominant systems of power shape both client experiences and therapeutic interventions.
Emphasis is placed on developing practical counseling skills that align with intersectional feminist values. Key techniques covered include power analysis, re-framing within socio-political contexts, appropriate self-disclosure, and supporting client-led definitions of change and healing. Special attention is given to how these principles can be incorporated across treatment modalities such as CBT, IFS, and ACT, and adapted to diverse client populations in both individual and community-based practice settings.
This training is appropriate for mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, clinical social workers, school counselors, and other helping professionals seeking to deepen their cultural humility, expand their clinical toolbox, and promote equity within therapeutic relationships. Participants will leave with applicable strategies, resources for continued learning, and increased confidence in addressing systems of oppression within their work.
OBJECTIVES:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

Define intersectional feminism and feminist therapy, and explain their relevance to the ethical and culturally competent practice of counseling.
Describe the historical and theoretical foundations of feminist therapy, including key texts and critiques that inform modern intersectional and liberatory approaches.
Apply intersectional feminist counseling techniques—such as power analysis, client empowerment, and socio-political reframing—within commonly used modalities, while demonstrating awareness of counselor self-reflection and positionality.
