The connection between what we eat and how we feel is powerful – yet often overlooked in psychotherapy. Emerging research highlights the role of nutrition, gut health, and lifestyle patterns in influencing mood, energy, and emotional regulation.
This training introduces psychotherapists to the foundations of the food–mood connection, helping clinicians recognize how dietary habits may impact mental health. Through discussion and practical strategies, participants will learn how to talk with clients about food and mood in a supportive and ethical way without stepping outside their scope of practice.
Note: This training does not provide nutritional certification but equips therapists with tools for collaboration and psychoeducation.
Workshop Objectives:

Develop an understanding of the relationship between nutrition, gut health, and mental health.
Learn ways to introduce food–mood awareness into therapy sessions while staying within ethical scope of practice.
Identify practical strategies to support clients in building mindful, balanced eating habits that promote emotional well-being.

Harm reduction offers a compassionate, client-centered alternative to all-or-nothing approaches to substance use. Rather than demanding abstinence, harm reduction meets people where they are, focusing on reducing risks, honoring autonomy, and supporting incremental change.

Through discussion, case examples, and interactive reflection, participants will learn how to integrate harm reduction into their therapeutic work while maintaining empathy, collaboration, and respect for client goals.
Attendees will leave with tools for engaging in nonjudgmental dialogue, supporting safer use practices, and fostering readiness for change while strengthening therapeutic alliance and promoting client empowerment.
Workshop Objectives:

Develop an understanding of the philosophy and core principles of harm reduction.
Learn client-centered strategies to support safer use, incremental change, and self-determined goals.
Identify ways to apply harm reduction practices in psychotherapy while maintaining ethical and collaborative care.
