SUMMARY:🆕BRAND-NEW! Tarot Card Imagery and Parts Work: Creative Interventions for Psychotherapy 🆕
DESCRIPTION:🆕Brand-New!🆕\nTarot Card Imagery and Parts Work: Creative Interventions for Psychotherapy\nPresented by: Dreya Blume\, LCSW\nWhen: Wednesday\, November 4th\, 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 (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 3 CEs | $90.00\nContinuing Education Workshop Description:\nParts work offers clinicians a powerful framework for helping clients understand the different internal states\, roles\, and protective strategies that shape their emotional lives. Tarot cards\, with their rich visual imagery\, archetypal themes\, characters\, and symbolic landscapes\, can provide a creative way to make these internal experiences more visible and accessible. Rather than using tarot for prediction or divination\, therapists can invite clients to engage with the cards as projective and expressive images through which they can identify\, externalize\, and develop greater curiosity toward different parts of themselves. \nThis experiential continuing education workshop introduces practical ways to integrate tarot card imagery into parts-oriented psychotherapy. Participants will explore interventions for identifying and representing parts\, understanding the intentions and fears of protective parts\, facilitating dialogue between conflicting parts\, accessing internal resources\, and supporting greater cooperation and integration within the client’s internal system. Attention will also be given to trauma-informed pacing\, client autonomy\, cultural and spiritual sensitivity\, and ethical considerations when incorporating tarot imagery into clinical practice. \nNo previous experience with tarot or parts work is required. \nContinuing Education Workshop Objectives:\nUpon completion of this training\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe at least three ways tarot card imagery can facilitate the identification\, externalization\, and exploration of parts within psychotherapy.\nApply at least three tarot-based interventions for exploring protective roles\, internal conflicts\, unmet needs\, and internal resources within a parts-work framework.\nIdentify at least three clinical and ethical considerations for integrating tarot card imagery into parts-oriented psychotherapy\, including client consent\, cultural and spiritual sensitivity\, and trauma-informed pacing.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

To that end\, you’ll be practicing a wide variety of practical skills that you can immediately begin using with clients. \nSince this will be a hands-on experience\, please have a notebook handy. We will also use the presenter’s workbook\, “A Life of Meaning and Purpose: An Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Guided Journal for Exploring Beliefs and Connecting with Values\,” which will be provided to each participant. \nContinuing Education Workshop Objectives:\n\nUnderstand the role of value identification in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)\nUnderstand how limiting beliefs influence the elicitation and execution of value-directed behavior\nIdentify the components of core values\, in terms of their definition and use in ACT\nDiscuss how to best assist clients in accessing core values\nLearn a variety of ways to teach clients how to elicit core values\nPractice ways to explore core values\nExplore the relationship between core values and ACT’s strategy of “committed action”\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Best Practices for Serving Gender-Diverse Clients
DESCRIPTION:Health Equity or Cultural Competence CEs!\nBest Practices for Serving Gender-Diverse Clients\nPresented by: Dreya Blume\, LCSW\nWhen: Friday\, December 11th\, 2026 | 9:00 am – 4:30 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 6 CEs Meets Criteria for Health Equity or Cultural Competence CEs | $199.00\nContinuing Education Workshop Description:\nWhether they are transgender\, non-binary\, two-spirit\, gender fluid\, or agender\, those in our gender-diverse communities need clinicians who understand the issues they are facing\, as well as how to best meet their needs. \nDreya\, a transgender woman\, has been a gender therapist since 2004 and is thrilled to share her knowledge with you during this dynamic and engaging continuing education workshop. \nWe will review gender-affirming terminology and explore the wide variety of identities within the gender-diverse community. You will learn how to provide gender-affirming care for clients of different ages (children\, teens\, and adults)\, starting with what to include on intake forms and how to create a welcoming office atmosphere. \nYou will also become familiar with themes that typically arise in session\, such as coming out to oneself\, family\, friends\, and coworkers; navigating social and medical transition; managing stress\, microaggressions\, discrimination\, and bias; and dealing with grief and loss (both on the part of the client as well as family members); common mental health issues associated with gender diversity\, such as depression\, anxiety\, suicidality\, PTSD\, and eating disorders; intersectionality; the gatekeeping dilemma; and more. \nDreya will also discuss how to write referral letters for clients (both adults and minors) seeking gender-affirming medical care. We will explore the criteria for “gender dysphoria\,” the role of WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health) guidelines in the letter-writing process\, and how to conduct a “gender consultation” for this purpose. \nFinally\, we will examine client transference and clinician countertransference\, as each can impact the therapeutic relationship. The good news is that by exploring gender diversity and the challenges faced by gender-nonconforming individuals more deeply\, clinicians can make a meaningful difference in the lives of their clients and families. \nContinuing Education Workshop Objectives:\n\nIdentify a wide range of identities among people who are gender-nonconforming.\nLearn the micro and macro challenges that impact the mental health of gender-nonconforming individuals.\nBecome familiar with how to best provide affirming care to gender-diverse individuals.\nDiscuss how to conduct a gender consultation for the purpose of writing a referral letter for gender-affirming medical care.\nUnderstand the transition timeline of a person navigating their gender journey.\nExplore how to best support the families of gender-diverse individuals.\nBecome familiar with local and national resources for gender-diverse individuals.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:🆕BRAND-NEW! Parentification 🆕

You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 3 CEs | $90.00\nContinuing Education Workshop Description:\nParentification is a relational dynamic in which a child is placed into developmentally inappropriate roles of emotional or practical caregiving within the family system. While often invisible or normalized within families\, this role reversal can shape identity\, attachment patterns\, boundaries\, and self-worth well into adulthood. \nThis continuing education workshop introduces clinicians to the concept of parentification from developmental\, relational\, and trauma-informed perspectives\, exploring both instrumental parentification (taking on adult tasks) and emotional parentification (serving as a confidant\, mediator\, or regulator for caregivers). \nParticipants will examine the long-term psychological impacts of these early role reversals\, including links to anxiety\, depression\, relational over-functioning\, and identity diffusion. Clinicians will learn practical therapeutic strategies for helping clients identify internalized responsibility patterns\, develop healthier boundaries\, grieve unmet childhood needs\, and cultivate a more balanced sense of self. \nThrough case examples\, reflective exercises\, and clinical discussion\, participants will gain tools to recognize parentification dynamics in therapy and support clients in reclaiming autonomy\, self-compassion\, and relational flexibility. \nContinuing Education Workshop Objectives:\n\nDefine parentification and distinguish between instrumental and emotional forms of role reversal within family systems.\nIdentify common psychological and relational impacts of childhood parentification\, including patterns related to boundaries\, responsibility\, attachment\, and identity development.\nAssess for signs of parentification in clinical practice\, including common presenting concerns and therapeutic themes associated with this developmental experience.\nApply trauma-informed therapeutic strategies to help clients process parentification experiences\, establish healthier boundaries\, and develop greater self-compassion and autonomy.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

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!
