This beginner-level continuing education workshop introduces mental health professionals to the foundations of Astrology-Assisted Therapy (AAT), an integrative clinical framework that incorporates astrological symbolism into therapeutic practice with structure, discernment, and ethical clarity.
Designed for therapists with no prior astrology experience, this workshop offers a grounded and clinically responsible introduction to core astrological concepts and their application in psychotherapy.
Participants will learn the foundational components of a natal chart – including planets, signs, houses, and aspects – through a psychological and symbolic lens. Rather than prediction, the focus is on meaning-making, narrative identity, relational patterns, and insight development. Astrology is presented as a structured symbolic language that can support depth-oriented exploration when used collaboratively and with client consent.
Drawing from qualitative research conducted with licensed clinicians who integrate astrology into therapy, this training explores clinical indications, contraindications, informed consent processes, scope of practice, and cultural humility. Participants will examine how astrology can function as a reflective tool that enhances therapeutic alliance, supports client agency, and facilitates nuanced conversations about identity and life transitions.
This workshop emphasizes ethical integration, client autonomy, and practitioner self-awareness. Astrology-Assisted Therapy is presented as a coherent symbolic modality that can be integrated within existing therapeutic orientations to expand conceptualization and deepen relational work.
Workshop Objectives:
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

Identify foundational astrological structures
Conceptualize astrology as a structured symbolic framework
Apply ethical guidelines for integrating astrology into clinical practice
Discern appropriate clinical contexts for AAT use

This continuing education workshop is ideal for clinicians seeking to expand their use of spiritually integrative, culturally responsive, and symbolically informed approaches within professional practice.
