You will discover how tarot card imagery functions as a dynamic visual and symbolic language\, uniquely suited to therapeutic conversations. From its historical roots and cultural controversies to its contemporary relevance in the therapy room\, this course provides a comprehensive introduction to the clinical applications of tarot. \nTarot is a particularly powerful tool in psychotherapy because it engages both intuition and structured exploration. Its archetypal and narrative richness make tarot an ideal companion for therapists working at the intersection of the unconscious and creative expression. Tarot cards can externalize internal experiences\, evoke epiphany\, and stimulate insight\, allowing clients to access feelings and ideas that may be difficult to articulate in more traditional ways. Whether used for parts work or accessing suppressed emotions\, tarot meets clients where they are\, supporting both depth and flexibility in the therapeutic process. \nIn becoming a “tarot-friendly therapist\,” you will discover that incorporating tarot into your practice opens up a creative and intuitive space for clients that is rich with possibility. Tarot allows clients to externalize internal experiences\, access inner wisdom\, and engage in symbolic storytelling that can be both playful and profound. Whether used as a metaphor\, visual prompt\, or reflective tool\, tarot can make therapy feel more accessible\, empowering\, and emotionally resonant\, especially for those who struggle to articulate feelings through words alone. Clients who already have a relationship with tarot (or are simply curious about the cards) will be thrilled to learn that this powerful tool can be integrated into their treatment. \nThroughout the course\, we will explore the projective potential of tarot through the lenses of Jungian psychology\, narrative therapy\, psychodrama\, and Gestalt practices such as chairwork. We will also examine tarot’s compatibility with modalities such as EMDR\, Internal Family Systems\, Poetry Therapy\, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy\, broadening your understanding of how to integrate tarot into diverse treatment approaches. \nWith an emphasis on ethical\, inclusive practice\, you will learn how to introduce tarot imagery to clients in ways that honor spiritual and religious diversity while respecting professional boundaries. The course includes guidance on spiritual competency\, clinical documentation\, and ethical considerations. This highly experiential training offers ample opportunities to practice\, reflect on\, and personalize the material. Whether you are an experienced clinician seeking new depth or a newer therapist curious about symbolic tools\, this program offers both theoretical grounding and hands-on application: The goal is for you to leave feeling comfortable and confident integrating tarot into your therapy practice. By the end\, you will have an expanded toolkit and a new lens through which to view healing\, insight\, and transformation. \nNote: No prior experience with tarot is required. \nThis course is based on Dreya Blume’s book\, The Clinical Use of Tarot Card Imagery in Psychotherapy (2025) (Amazon link) \nExciting News! The tuition for this 18-hour first-of-its-kind certificate program includes your own PDF copy of Dreya Blume’s three-volume book. \nWorkshop Objectives\n\nIdentify various ways in which visual imagery can be used to address mental health issues\nUtilize tarot card imagery for creative expression\nAnalyze the archetypal uses of tarot card imagery\nApply tarot card imagery to inner critic work\nAssess which tarot card activities to use depending on the client population and issue\nCreate therapeutic applications of tarot card imagery\nIdentify how to use tarot card imagery for intuitive work with the subconscious\nUtilize tarot card imagery for emotional externalization purposes\nDescribe how to use tarot card imagery for facilitating emotional expression\nApply tarot card imagery to narrative therapy techniques\nDescribe how tarot card imagery relates to dialogue work as found in Gestalt Therapy\nDemonstrate how tarot card imagery relates to parts work\nDevelop tarot activities that can be used in core values generation\nExplain how tarot card imagery can be ethically introduced to clients\nPrepare tarot-based activities for clients that are ethically grounded\nExplain the ethics behind processing tarot-based activities with clients\nDemonstrate how to create and maintain healthy boundaries between the client and the counselor in terms of integrating tarot card imagery into the session\nIdentify ways to ensure well-defined roles in the professional relationship\nDemonstrate cultural competence in terms of identifying the cultural background of tarot\nDemonstrate cultural competence in terms of exploring and then integrating clients’ personal relationships with tarot into counseling\n\nTopics covered during the six-week training:\n\nThe History of Tarot\nThe Clinical Benefits of Using Tarot Cards\nThe “Evidence-Based” Bugaboo\nSpiritual/Religious Competency in Therapy\nTarot\, Creativity\, and Therapy\nTarot Is/As Metaphor\nBeyond Metaphor: Pataphor\nProjective Tools in Psychotherapy\nCarl Jung: Therapeutic Tarot’s Forefather\nShadow Work\nThe Hero’s Journey\nTarot And/As Visual Imagery in Art Therapy\nNarrative Therapy\nPsychodrama\nEMDR\, Visual Imagery\, and Metaphoric Cards\nInner Critic Work\nIntrojections\nParts Work\nChairwork\nSolution-Focused Therapy\nAcceptance and Commitment Therapy\nPoetry Therapy\nIntroducing Tarot Cards to a Client\nClinical Documentation\nTarot and Professional Ethics\nMarketing oneself as a “tarot-friendly therapist”\n\nSix Training Modules: 6-Week Breakdown by Week\nWeek 1 \n\nThe History of Tarot\nThe Clinical Benefits of Using Tarot Cards\nThe “Evidence-Based” Bugaboo\nSpiritual/Religious Competency in Therapy\nTarot\, Creativity\, and Therapy\n\nWeek 2 \n\nTarot Is/As Metaphor\nBeyond Metaphor: Pataphor\nProjective Tools in Psychotherapy\nCarl Jung: Therapeutic Tarot’s Forefather\nShadow Work\nThe Hero’s Journey\n\nWeek 3 \n\nTarot And/As Visual Imagery in Art Therapy\nNarrative Therapy\nPsychodrama\nEMDR\, Visual Imagery\, and Metaphoric Cards\nInner Critic Work\n\nWeek 4 \n\nIntrojections\nParts Work\nChairwork\nSolution-Focused Therapy\n\nWeek 5 \n\nAcceptance and Commitment Therapy\nPoetry Therapy\nAsemic Writing for Healing\n\nWeek 6 \n\nIntroducing Tarot Cards to a Client\nClinical Documentation\nTarot and Professional Ethics\nMarketing oneself as a “tarot-friendly therapist”\n\n***Payment Options:\nCascadia Training values quality continuing education that is accessible\, inclusive\, and without barriers to all. We never want the cost of our workshops to be a barrier to attending one of our workshops\, particularly our multi-session workshops. \nWe offer several options to make our workshops cost-inclusive: payment plans\, a limited number of full and partial scholarships\, discounts for students\, and discounts for early professionals.

SUMMARY:Professional Wills: Why You Need One and How to Create It
DESCRIPTION:Law & Ethics CEs!\nProfessional Wills: Why You Need One and How to Create It\nPresented by: Sandy Voit MS\, EdS\, LMHC\, CDFA\nWhen: Thursday\, March 19\, 2026\, 2025 | 10:00 am – 12:00 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credits: CEs: 2 Law & Ethics CEs | $65.00\nARE YOU IN BREACH OF YOUR PROFESSIONAL ETHICS?\nYou have spent your entire professional career securing and storing medical records and ensuring your clients’ confidentiality. What happens to these records when you retire\, become disabled\, or die? \nDid you know that even if you die\, your estate could be held responsible for malpractice complaints and legal actions brought about by your failure to anticipate your demise? \nFor psychologists\, your Code of Ethics dictates that you are expected to “make reasonable efforts to plan for facilitating services in the event that psychological services are interrupted by factors such as the psychologist’s illness\, death\, unavailability\, relocation\, or retirement…” The same ethical mandate applies to Mental Health Counselors\, Marriage and Family Therapists\, and Social Workers. \nThis workshop provides information and examples of how to prepare for such a situation – creating a Professional Will and identifying a Professional Executor to handle the legal and ethical details necessary to protect yourself and your practice. If something happens to you\, you need a similarly licensed professional (not your spouse or child) to deal with your clients/patients\, confidential records\, office leases\, obtain releases\, make referrals\, etc. In addition\, your clients/patients will likely need help in their grieving and necessary transition to another therapist. \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

DESCRIPTION:Meets Cultural Competence or Health Equity CE Requirements! \nImplicit Bias and Healthcare Equity: The Impact of Self-Awareness\nPresented by: Dreya Blume\, LCSW\nWhen: Wednesday\, March 25th\, 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 Health Equity or Cultural Competence CEs | $99.00\nAge\, race\, ethnicity\, weight\, gender\, social class\, religion\, sexual identity\, gender identity\, profession…this list\, of course\, is incomplete. The point is that there are multitudes of differences between people. Unfortunately\, an interaction with another person can trigger unconsciously held negative or stigmatizing attitudes. Even more worrying\, the research shows that unconscious (i.e.\, implicit) biases of mental health professionals influence how they assess and treat their clients. \nTo address this problem\, this workshop aims to assist clinicians in increasing their awareness of internalized biases toward particular groups. But awareness isn’t enough. We will also explore managing biases\, changing behavior\, and tracking progress. This work will help you reassess your paperwork\, evaluate how you run your clinical practice\, and explore how you might best serve clients\, regardless of their background. \nWe might have little control over our biases\, but what we do have is the power to ensure that those attitudes do not prevent us from treating clients equitably and with dignity. \nWorkshop Objectives:\nParticipants in this workshop will be able to: \n\nDescribe the features of implicit biases.\nLocate and recognize internal biases.\nConsider how to utilize this awareness to create a standard of best practices for their clinical work.\nCreate strategies for managing their implicit biases.\nDevelop strategies that can lead to behavior change in terms of addressing and shifting their biases.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 15 CEs (10 Law & Ethics CEs) | $395.00 (see below for payment options)\nThis workshop meets the training requirement for becoming an Approved Clinical Supervisor.\nProviding supervision can be a rewarding addition to a clinical practice. However\, many clinicians are reluctant to become supervisors due to legal and ethical liability concerns.  These concerns are often increased by a lack of accurate information about the true risks of liability faced by supervisors. \nThrough direct instructions\, presentation of real-life scenarios\, and group discussions\, participants will understand the fundamentals of supervision best practices to improve their effectiveness and skill as clinical supervisors. \nThis three-day\, 15-hour supervision workshop is designed to meet the training requirements for Washington State Approved Supervisors.\nObjectives:\n• Identify and assess sources of significant liability in supervision; \n• Construct effective strategies for creating a sound supervision agreement; \n• Describe key conceptual frameworks for supervision; \n• Compare various theoretical approaches to supervision; \n• Contrast various types of supervisory relationships; \n• Examine the benefits between group and individual supervision settings; \n• Summarize the legal and ethical regulation of supervision; \n• Maximize supervisor\, supervisee\, and client success through supervision structure; \n• Integrate regulation and practice to provide quality supervision documentation. \nPayment Options\nCascadia Training values quality continuing education that is accessible\, inclusive\, and without barriers to all. We never want the cost of our workshops to be a barrier to attending one of our workshops\, particularly our multi-session workshops. \nWe offer several options to make our workshops cost-inclusive: payment plans and a limited number of discounts for students and early professionals. \nFor payment plans\, you can select paying 50% today and 50% due by March 31st\, 2026. \nPlease email us at hello@cascadiatraining.org to inquire about possible discounts. \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n
