NEW – 18 CE In-Person Workshop!

This immersive three-day CEU training equips behavioral health professionals with the practica skills and ethical foundation needed to effectively support families through the interventions process. Blending evidence-based theory with hands-on practice, participants will learn intervention models, systems-oriented family approaches, Motivational Interviewing, crisis recognition and de-escalation, and strategies for managing resistance and relapse. Through interactive workshops, real-world case studies, and guided role-plays, clinicians will strengthen their confidence in planning, facilitating, and documenting interventions while collaborating with treatment and aftercare providers. Designed for social workers, counselors, psychologists, and related professionals, this training emphasizes skill integration, clinical sustainability, and real-world application.

This presentation is appropriate for: clinical professionals, psychologists, therapists, counselors, and social workers.

NEW - 2 CE Virtual Workshop!

While we all know that meditation and breathwork can have powerful effects on anxiety reduction and nervous system regulation, what do you do when a client comes to you either in full blown panic and can’t calm down or tells you they feel worse after meditating?

In this 2 hour interactive workshop, we will dive into various tools and techniques to help your clients learn how to ground and be present in their body, especially when meditation and slow focused breathing feels ineffective. We will cover exercises that can be used both during acute panic as well as long term over time to help lower high anxiety baselines. And I promise we aren’t talking about things like holding ice or go for a walk. We are going to dive into the neurology of anxiety and how to address it from a brain-training perspective. In addition, we will discuss the latest cutting edge devices that are being used to help reduce anxiety as well as holistic & functional medicine approaches to heal anxiety at the root cause.

This presentation is appropriate for: clinical professionals, psychologists, therapists, counselors, and social workers.

OBJECTIVES: After this workshop, you will be able to:

1. Demonstrate a high level understanding of how the nervous system works, including neuroanatomy of breath.

In-Person CE Presentation!

Chronic Pain occurs as a complicated web of emotions and physical symptoms. The most

common way to treat pain is to use opioid medications, which complicate the course of chronic

pain. For some individuals who develop dependence/ addiction to these medications,

management and treatment for their condition can become much more complex. This session

will review the interactions of pain, suffering and addiction as they interface in your clients with

suggestions for how to help them find safety through a variety of interventions and treatment.
