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 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 client and counselor in terms of integrating tarot card imagery into 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 relationship with tarot into counseling\n\nWorkshop Breakdown by Day\nDay One \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\n\nDay Two \n\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\n\nDay Three \n\nAcceptance and Commitment Therapy\nPoetry Therapy\nAsemic Writing for Healing\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:Clinical Documentation Considerations of Changing Federal and State Laws
DESCRIPTION:A Must-Take Law & Ethics CE Workshop!\nClinical Documentation Considerations of Changing Federal and State Laws\nPresented by: Eric Ström\, PhD\, Attorney at Law\, LMHC\nWhen: Friday\, January 23rd\, 2026 | 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM\, Pacific Time\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 3 Law & Ethics CEs | $99.00\nWORKSHOP DESCRIPTION\nRecent changes to US federal law and policy have given states more leeway to regulate in vastly different ways. These changing laws may impact clients in a variety of ways – particularly when telehealth is delivered across state lines.  Through a discussion of a range of various state laws\, we will identify the impacts this current regulatory situation has on clinical documentation\, on our exposure to liability\, and to protection of marginalized populations when delivering clinical services.  This 3-hour workshop meets law & ethics continuing education requirements. \nWORKSHOP OBJECTIVES\nAfter this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe the regulatory impact of providing clinical services across state lines.\nIdentify some other states’ laws that may impact us as Washington-based clinicians and clients.\nUnderstand Washington’s new Protected Health Care Statutes.\nCreate strategies to appropriately conduct and document clinical services while protecting clients and ourselves.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n
