Beyond being a requirement of most licensure boards\, research shows that improving practitioner competence decreases burnout and increases job satisfaction! \nOne of the hottest topics is the integration of neuroscience into mental health treatment. You heard this\, and you want to learn more – but it feels daunting and overwhelming in the face of all you have to deal with every day. The prospect just does not sound pleasant. \nSo\, why not make it easier? \nIntroducing Cascadia’s brain science certificate series! \nIn keeping with not only teaching to the brain in presentation style\, but also in the ability to take in and retain\, Cascadia now offers this in a series of three-hour sessions over a few weeks! The benefits are many! \nFirst\, the course is separated into four discrete and highly useful sessions: \nWeek One: Pertinent Therapeutic Neuroscience \nWeek Two: Applications in Therapeutic Neuroscience \nWeek Three: Neuroscience-informed Cognitive Approaches  \nWeek Four: Neuroscience-informed Somatic Approaches.  \nBesides three-hour time blocks being easier to manage than an entire day\, you will also have lots of time to think about\, try things\, and ask questions in between sessions\, as skill support inquiries are encouraged! \nNone of us wants to spend our time learning only to come away tired and feeling that we could not retain what we learned.  In this format\, you will have the chance to really sink your teeth into the material and build a sense of competence! \nAll this will take place in the comfort of your own home! \nIf you have wanted to take your practice to the next level by incorporating cutting-edge neuroscience\, then this is the course for you! Whether you aren’t quite sure what the amygdala really is or you are a PhD in Neuropsychology – this practical\, application-based course will appropriately challenge and inspire you! \nWorkshop Objectives:\n\nLearn Pertinent Brain Systems & Structures and Describe Their Practical Application to Clinical Work\nIdentify & Examine the Neurological Processes Underlying Common Mental Health Disorders\, Such as Anxiety\, Depression\, Personality Disorders & Trauma.\nRelate Specific Dysfunctional Behavioral Presentations to Associated Brain Functions to Improve Diagnosis & Pinpoint Effective Treatment Modalities\nApply the Neuroscience-informed Lens to Current Cognitive-based (ACT\, CBT\, IFS)\, Mindfulness-based (DBT\, MBT)\, & Somatic-based (EFT\, Expressive Therapies) Theories You Already Know Increasing Insights to Improve Treatment Trajectory & Outcomes\nEvaluate the differences between amygdala-based and cortex-based symptoms\nApply proven strategies for calming and training the amygdala.\nUse Practical Neuroscience-informed Techniques\, such as Threat Analysis\, to Improve Client Understanding\, Compliance\, and Outcomes\nConvey Difficult Science Terms & Concepts in an Understandable\, Client-friendly Manner\n\nPAYMENT OPTIONS\nCascadia Training values quality continuing education that is accessible\, inclusive\, and without barriers to all.

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. (ACA\, 2014\, A. 2.d).\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:🆕 BRAND-NEW! New(ish) Clinician Practical Skills Bootcamp 🆕
DESCRIPTION:BRAND-NEW!\nMeets Requirements for Law & Ethics\, Health Equity\, and/or Cultural Competence Continuing Education Credits (CEs)\nNew(ish) Clinician Practical Skills Bootcamp\nWhile geared toward newer clinicians\, this continuing education workshop is also appropriate for therapists who want a skills refresher or need reminders of tools they may have forgotten along the way.\nPresented by: B Lourenco\, MA\, LMHC (she/her)\nWhen: Thursday\, June 25th\, 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 (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved CEs): 6 Law & Ethics\, Health Equity\, and/or Cultural Competence CEs | $199.00\nContinuing Education Workshop Description\nAs a clinical supervisor\, B started to notice a pattern with her new supervisees. Many of them had done well in graduate school\, but they also felt they lacked practical skills and tools to support their clients in clinical practice. Or they could explain a principle in a clinical way\, but didn’t know how to use that information to offer psychoeducation to their clients. \nThis continuing education workshop is meant to serve as a bridge between higher education “book smarts” and practical clinical application\, offering concepts and tools in easy-to-digest\, easy-to-apply ways. \nWhile geared toward newer clinicians\, this continuing education workshop is also appropriate for therapists who want a skills refresher or need reminders of tools they may have forgotten along the way. \nB offers several instruments and concepts based on her clinical expertise\, so everyone is bound to leave with new knowledge\, practical techniques\, and skills! \nSome topics covered include: relational skills\, attachment\, family and social systems\, relational dependence\, nervous system education\, reinforcement\, learning and epistemology\, transference issues\, clinical expertise\, and humility. \nContinuing Education Workshop Objectives\nAttendees will: \n\nLearn simple ways to explain and explore at least two (2) concepts related to attachment theory and/or relationship models\nDescribe ways that systems impact individuals and vice versa\nDescribe nervous system responses\, including an adapted Polyvagal model\nDescribe at least two (2) clinical life skills that their clients can benefit from\nDefine at least two (2) ways to determine their personal clinical expertise and how to use them in sessions with clients\nLearn how clinical transference and countertransference can be one of a therapist’s best tools\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n
