Class A

From Insight to Action: Evidence-Based Interventions for Anxiety Disorders (2 CE Credits)

This training provides a practical overview of evidence-based approaches for treating Anxiety Disorders, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (E/RP). Participants will learn how to identify avoidance patterns and safety behaviors, and how to target the cognitive, behavioral, and physiological mechanisms that maintain anxiety.

 

Through case examples and sample interventions, clinicians will gain guidance on structuring exposures, sequencing skills, and adapting therapeutic language to support motivation and engagement. The workshop also addresses assessment strategies, differential diagnosis, and how to respond to treatment-interfering behaviors or heightened distress. Tailored approaches for children, adolescents, and caregivers will be included, offering actionable tools to improve emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and family-supported progress.

 

(Trainer, Dr. Jaimee Arnoff, Ph.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist based in Beacon, NY, specializing in evidence-based treatment for adolescents, young adults, and high-risk clinical presentations.

Class B

Unmasking Complexity: Assessing, Treating, and Conceptualizing Personality Disorders

Personality disorders present some of the most challenging and complex clinical presentations in mental health treatment. This new training equips clinicians with a practical, structured approach to understanding, assessing, and treating personality disorders using current best practices from evidence-based modalities. Participants will learn to differentiate among the ten DSM-5-TR personality disorders, conduct efficient yet comprehensive assessments, rule out commonly confused conditions such as bipolar disorder or PTSD, and communicate diagnoses with clarity and compassion.

The course emphasizes real-world clinical application through case examples, differential diagnosis strategies, and intervention planning using DBT, RO-DBT, CBT, IPT, and schema-informed techniques. Attention is given to relational dynamics, countertransference, resistance, and the emotional intensity often associated with personality disorders.

Class A

Ethics & AI: Navigating the Future of Mental Health Practice (4 CE Credits – Ethics)

This new ethics training explores the rapidly evolving role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in mental health care, from documentation tools and wellness apps to emerging “AI therapist” platforms. Clinicians will examine how to ethically integrate these technologies without compromising relational, trauma-informed practice. Through case vignettes, reflective discussion, and guided application of professional standards (NASW, APA, NBCC, ASWB, WHO), participants will learn to discern between tools that augment care and those that risk replacing human connection.

 

Attendees will leave with a clear ethical decision-making framework, practical red flag and green light indicators for AI use, and strategies for maintaining transparency, integrity, and client trust in a rapidly changing digital landscape. This engaging, accessible session is designed for licensed clinicians seeking to balance innovation with ethical responsibility.

Class B

Living in the Liminal: Counseling Clients with Chronic Illness (4 CE Credits)

This training equips mental health professionals with essential knowledge and practical skills for supporting clients living with chronic illness and pain. We will explore the often invisible realities of chronic conditions, including concepts like spoon theory and the emotional impact of being misunderstood or dismissed by others and by the medical system.

 

Participants will learn how to adapt therapeutic approaches to challenges unique to chronic illness—such as fluctuating symptoms, limited energy, and medical trauma—while creating a validating and safe clinical environment. The program also covers interventions to help clients navigate identity changes, grief, relational stressors, and the ongoing emotional toll of their condition. Clinicians will leave with a set of compassionate, practical tools to foster resilience, empowerment, and improved well-being for their clients.

(Trainer, Christina Scott is an Ohio-based Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and an online private practice owner specializing in chronic illness, neurodiversity, and trauma.

Evening Sessions

Select one of the following classes

Class A

Safe Love, Fierce Compassion: Guiding Black Couples Toward Emotional Well-Being (3 CEs – Cultural Competence)

Black couples face unique relational challenges shaped by cultural narratives, systemic inequities, and intergenerational trauma. For licensed therapists and psychologists, understanding these dynamics is essential to providing competent and affirming care. This workshop equips professionals with tools to foster emotional safety, cultivate self-compassion, and support Black couples in building resilient, emotionally healthy relationships.

 

Through guided learning, reflective discussion, and interactive activities, participants will examine the cultural and social factors influencing relational well-being, acquire strategies to help couples overcome biases, engage in fair conflict resolution, and express emotions effectively. They will also learn approaches to break cycles of past relational trauma that surface in present conflicts and strengthen clinical skills to help couples create emotionally safe, compassionate, and thriving partnerships. This workshop ensures professionals leave with practical, immediately applicable tools to support Black couples on their journey toward relational healing.

Class B

Trauma Informed Relapse Prevention (3 CE Credits – Trauma)

Some clients enter treatment with a genuine desire to change, while others are motivated more externally. The clients who often challenge and impact us the most are those who genuinely want to recover but continue to relapse, sometimes losing hope and experiencing deep depression or suicidal thoughts.

 

This training reframes relapse through a trauma-informed lens, giving clinicians practical, evidence-based strategies to support clients while maintaining hope. Participants will explore the underlying mechanisms of relapse, identify trauma-related core issues, and learn actionable approaches to foster long-term recovery and resilience.
