Continuing Education Workshop Description:
Transference and countertransference are natural occurrences within the interpersonal relationship between client and therapist. Gaining understanding of how these phenomena occur in therapy and everyday life encourages clinicians to be more fully attuned with their clients and track important meanings in the work.
This continuing education workshop will explain these events and illustrate how they manifest in therapy. Emphasis on how to stay “on track” during these unconscious processes will be shared. Discussion will also examine how the therapist can understand and manage their own experiences of countertransference. Clinicians will be able to explore these meanings with their clients, both directly and indirectly, in a manner that aids in enhancing the therapeutic relationship and client growth
Continuing Education Workshop Objectives:

Describe examples of transference and countertransference in therapy.
Identify clinical practice situations that reflect transference and countertransference processes.
Apply ethical and clinical recommendations to address and manage transference and countertransference processes.

Burnout prevention is not a luxury — it is an ethical responsibility embedded in competent clinical care.
This continuing education workshop invites clinicians to examine burnout through the lens of professional ethics, exploring how chronic stress, overextension, compassion fatigue, and systemic pressures impact clinical judgment, attunement, documentation quality, and client safety. Grounded in professional codes of ethics and supported by research on clinician impairment and occupational stress, this experiential training moves beyond surface-level “self-care tips” to address sustainable boundaries, workload realities, values alignment, and structural inequities in the field.
Participants will engage in reflective exercises, case analysis, and practical planning to develop ethically grounded, prevention-focused strategies that protect both client welfare and clinician longevity.
Workshop Objectives:
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

Identify ethical standards related to clinician competence, impairment, and self-monitoring, and explain how burnout can compromise clinical effectiveness and client welfare.
Analyze the impact of chronic stress and occupational burnout on therapeutic presence, decision-making, boundary clarity, and risk management.
Apply at least three ethically grounded burnout-prevention strategies that support sustainable practice, including boundary-setting, workload calibration, and systemic advocacy.
Develop a personalized, values-aligned burnout prevention plan that integrates ethical responsibility with realistic professional demands.

This continuing education workshop focuses on one of the most critical components in mental health, social development, and therapeutic intervention across our lifespan – attachment.
This class will demonstrate that attachment is a journey, rather than the predetermined lifelong limitation a jaded clinical view might indicate. It typifies the astounding adaptability and hope inherent in humans – the reasons we believe in our work as therapists.
This workshop will give therapists and other helping professionals working with all age populations an understanding of attachment theory, patterns, and clinical presentations, as well as practical tools to create sustainable and effective therapeutic change. We will explore how attachment develops and evolves across a lifespan, influencing all of our relationships. Teaching modalities will include a mix of clinical discussion, lecture with clinical examples, video illustrations, and individual/group case exercises.
Workshop Objectives:

Identify key factors that impact and influence our baseline neurobiology such as brain development, memory systems, and trauma.
Understand attachment theory, as well as attachment patterns and clinical presentations.
Learn the various ways attachment styles impact our lives and all types of relationships.
Recognize attachment as one of core components in the therapeutic relationship.
Discuss attachment-based therapies for children, adolescents, adults, and couples.
