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

SUMMARY:SPECIAL SALE! Introduction to Nature Therapy: More than a Walk in the Park
DESCRIPTION:LAST-MINUTE DEAL! $59 OFF!\nLaw & Ethics CEs!\nIntroduction to Nature Therapy: More than a Walk in the Park\nPresented by: Becky Robbins\, MA\, LMHC\, CEAT\, CYT\, NBT \nWhen: Friday\, March 13\, 2026 | 9:30 AM – 5:00 PM\, Pacific Time\nWhere: Live\, In-Person event at Shoreline Center – at 12pm\, we will break for an hour lunch\, and will then reconvene at Hamlin Park\, located at 16006 15th Ave NE\, Shoreline\, WA\, at 1:00 for the remainder of the workshop\, which will be outdoors.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 6 CEs – 2 Law & Ethics CEs| $199.00 Now Only $140.00\nThis Introduction to Nature Therapy: More than a Walk in the Park workshop allows participants to become familiar with nature-based therapy\, specifically\, what is involved in a “walk-and-talk” therapy session outdoors in a natural setting. Participants will become aware of the legal and ethical considerations necessary to provide this option for client sessions. Participants will learn the key concepts and significant benefits of providing therapy sessions outdoors\, in a natural setting\, complemented by using expressive arts modalities. The presenter will also teach how these approaches connect through a polyvagal lens. \nParticipants will learn what it takes to provide ethical\, impactful\, confident\, and competent therapy for clients in an outdoor natural setting. The presenter will teach participants how to include expressive arts modalities and somatic awareness techniques into nature therapy\, as these techniques will be interwoven throughout this daylong experience. Experientials will be facilitated to aid participants in their own embodied experience of a session in nature. Participants will leave this course ethically and legally prepared to facilitate an outdoor\, nature-based therapy session\, understanding the client appropriateness (what clients are a good fit for this type of therapy)\, location considerations (parks\, trails\, beaches\, weather conditions\, parking\, etcetera)\, and critical skills needed for facilitating a helpful walk-and-talk session outdoors (multidimensional awareness\, various approaches to facilitation\, and safety considerations). Participants will leave this experiential workshop feeling confident and inspired to offer a more integrated clinical approach than they thought possible! \nOBJECTIVES:\n\n Consider legal\, ethical\, and documentation implications for doing nature-based therapy outdoors.\n Identify important considerations for specific populations.\n Understand the legal and ethical considerations of practicing nature-based therapy in a walk-and-talk session.\n Describe differences among ecotherapy\, nature-based\, adventure-based\, and wilderness therapies.\n Identify key concepts of ecotherapy and nature-based therapy\n Assess who to work with and when\, where to go and why\, and what to expect and consider in various regions and environments when using nature-based therapy.\n Understand the therapist’s identity in nature-based versus ecotherapy practices.\n Introduce common types of nature-based approaches into walk-and-talk therapy sessions.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

You’ll receive the Zoom link the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 6 CEs | $190.00 NOW ONLY $140.00!\nThis fundamentals workshop provides a strong\, basic understanding of the necessary aspects of working with dreams in a clinical setting. 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
