SUMMARY:🆕BRAND-NEW! An Introduction to the Ethical Use of Assessment Measures 🆕
DESCRIPTION:🆕BRAND-NEW!🆕\nLaw & Ethics CEs!\nAn Introduction to the Ethical Use of Assessment Measures\n  \nPresented by: Dr. Brenda Butterfield\, EdD\, MSW\, LMHC \nWhen: Friday\, February 20th\, 2026 | 9:00 AM – 1:15 PM\, Pacific Time\nWhere: Live via Zoom. You’ll receive the link via email the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 4 Law & Ethics CEs | $125.00\nCommunicating care to clients is essential for developing a therapeutic alliance. But with the increased focus on client treatment outcomes\, communicating care can be overshadowed — and even lost — when assessing\, evaluating\, writing treatment plans\, and monitoring progress.  Thank goodness purposefully using assessment measures can do both! Using them can help create a therapeutic alliance by supporting clinicians and clients when used ethically and in client-centered ways. \nAssessment measures can identify a wide array of clinical concerns used to diagnose disorders and validate a client’s lived experience. When used ethically\, they can be used to develop a client-centered treatment plan and monitor client progress throughout treatment. Working together\, clinicians and clients can use them to connect\, learn\, and grow. \nBut it appears many clinicians don’t use them. Learning how to access\, score\, and use them efficiently throughout treatment can be overwhelming. But with an easy\, purposeful process\, that can all change! \nLearn a purposeful process for using free\, evidence-based assessment measures that are valid\, reliable measures to assess clients’ overall health and assess depression\, generalized anxiety\, panic disorder\, social anxiety\, trauma\, and substance use. Ethical implications will be highlighted for using measures efficiently and effectively from intake to discharge\, while focusing on client-centered care and the therapeutic alliance throughout. \nWorkshop Objectives:\n\nLearn how to use assessment measures ethically and in client-centered ways to support the development and growth of a therapeutic alliance from start to finish.\nLearn how to skillfully engage clients with assessment measures to support and inform assessment\, diagnosis\, treatment\, and evaluation of care provided.\nPractice administering and scoring assessment measures during the workshop for proficiency in diagnosing and treating common disorders\, including depression\, panic disorder\, generalized anxiety disorder\, social anxiety disorder\, trauma\, and substance disorders.\nIncrease knowledge of copyright rules and identify free assessment measures that are valid\, reliable and easily accessed in the public domain.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 3 CEs | $95.00\nThe stories clients tell about their lives shape how they see themselves\, their problems\, and their possibilities.

SUMMARY:🆕BRAND-NEW! When Saying Yes Meant Survival: Helping Clients Recover from People-Pleasing 🆕
DESCRIPTION:BRAND-NEW!\nWhen Saying Yes Meant Survival: Helping Clients Recover from People-Pleasing\nPresented by: Dreya Blume\, LCSW\nWhen: Thursday\, February 26th\, 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 CEs | $95.00\nFor many clients\, people-pleasing is not just a habit: it began as a survival strategy. Saying “yes” in childhood may have kept them safe\, secured approval\, or prevented conflict\, but in adulthood it often leaves them anxious\, resentful\, and disconnected from their own needs. \nThis training helps psychotherapists understand the deeper roots of people-pleasing through the lens of trauma\, attachment\, and relational dynamics\, while offering concrete strategies for healing. \nParticipants will explore how to compassionately validate the protective origins of people-pleasing while supporting clients to set boundaries\, reclaim their voice\, and practice self-advocacy. With a mix of clinical insight\, case examples\, and practical tools\, therapists will leave with new ways to help clients transform people-pleasing patterns into healthier\, more empowered ways of relating. \nObjectives\n\nDevelop an understanding of people-pleasing as a trauma-informed survival response with relational and cultural roots.\nLearn therapeutic strategies to help clients identify\, interrupt\, and shift automatic people-pleasing behaviors.\nIdentify interventions that support boundary-setting\, self-compassion\, and authentic self-expression in clients recovering from people-pleasing.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

The instructor utilizes integrated theoretical models of working with dreams\, including cognitive-experiential\, expressive arts\, and nature-based dream work models\, to explore the benefits of doing dream work with clients. \nThe purpose of this workshop is to introduce the context\, foundations\, benefits\, and ethics of engaging in dream work in therapy sessions with clients\, as well as to provide experiential exercises for “hands-on” learning that can be implemented immediately. Support material from Clara Hill’s work\, “cognitive-experiential dream model” highlight the value of dream work in deepening outcomes with clients. This workshop will also introduce participants to working with clients’ significant dreams\, grief/loss-related dreams\, and trauma-related dreams with tenderness and through the clinical lens. \nThis session provides a good foundation for understanding the theories involved in working with the unconscious—aka dreams—as it provides a multi-modal\, cooperative learning experience to reinforce the ideas presented.  The instructor will make clear the benefits of doing therapeutic dream work using an integrated model. Participants will explore the ways in which the various approaches complement each other and are appropriate for a wide range of clients\, including those clients who are remembering\, working through\, and healing grief\, loss\, and traumatic experiences. This session also considers ethical\, legal\, and documentation topics related to dream work in the clinical setting. \nWORKSHOP OBJECTIVES:\n\n Explain the difference between “dream interpretation” and “dream work” and why the latter is what we do in therapy\n “Light” foundations of dream work\n Name individuals in our field who influence today’s workshop content\, models\, approaches\n Understand how to introduce and use dream work in the clinical/ therapeutic setting\, shifts from “Freudian” ways to multi-theoretical\n Explain how our unconscious speaks through our dreams so that important information stored in our bodies and memories can come forth and become conscious\, possible demo\n Identify how dream work enhances one’s practice\n Identify parts of dreams with examples of when they might come up in therapy\n Understand how to utilize several dream work approaches from a range of exploratory\, expressive\, and nature-based theorists\n Provide examples of appropriate application of each approach including that the client has the last word\n View a live demonstration of dream work demo (recorded/link or live/volunteer)\n Explore and practice techniques for doing dream work that can be used immediately\, through demonstrations and “hands-on” experientials in this workshop\n Learn how to become a better container for working with your clients’ dreams through self-empowerment\, self-care\, self-regulation\, and protective practice when working with dreams\, especially with dream content related to grief\, loss\, phobias\, and trauma\n Consider legal\, ethical\, and documentation implications for doing dream work\, especially with survivors of trauma (such as a dream that recalls repressed childhood abuse) and those experiencing grief and loss\, as well as social and environmental impacts (such as dynamics of power and privilege) of dream content in client’s waking life\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n
