DESCRIPTION: Having safe and secure emotional attachments as a child with parents and caregivers, and with our adult partners, is a basic human need. Attachment styles developed in childhood stay with us for a lifetime, and influence our emotional security, the personal meaning we give to experiences, and our ability to create and maintain closeness, trust, safety, and stability in intimate relationships.
The focus of this session is on Family Systems Interventions. Utilizing didactic instruction, case studies and videos of actual therapy sessions, Dr. Levy will provide in-depth training on how to effectively utilize individual and relationship-based assessment methods. He then will follow-up by discussing interventions designed for a deeper and more thorough integrative approach to healing.

DESCRIPTION: Early attachment experiences wire brain circuits, create core beliefs (i.e. internal working models), and form the template for future relationships. Disrupted, anxious and disorganized attachment often results in depression, anxiety disorders, shame, aggressive and self destructive behaviors, toxic relationships, and physical illness.
In this training, Dr. Levy introduces and explains how to use experiential and skill-based techniques to improve emotional dysregulation, beliefs and alleviate symptoms of trauma and PTSD. He will delve into strategies for resolving anger and shame, as well as assisting clients in letting go of past trauma through forgiveness, and self acceptance.

Attachment styles developed in childhood stay with us for a lifetime, and influence our emotional security, the personal meaning we give to experiences, and our ability to create and maintain closeness, trust, safety, and stability in intimate relationships. Furthermore, insecure attachment and poor communication styles exacerbate unstable relationships into adulthood.
The focus of this training is to learn interventions that foster more effective communication and healthy management of conflict. Principles of positive psychology as they pertain to healing trauma will be discussed. Additionally, through case examples of videos of session, therapists will see in action strategies to facilitate posttraumatic growth, recovery and resilience.

The main challenge in online therapy is the lack of body-to-body interaction, which causes challenges for therapists to be present and to connect as intimately as in their offices.
In this webinar, we will learn how to creatively create presence online and overcome the absence of body-to-body communication. We will learn how to be more active, invite our clients to share their body sensations, pay attention to facial expressions, use self-disclosure properly, and bring our and the clients&#8217; imagination into the meeting.
This beginner level webinar is aimed at all psychotherapists and counselors who work online, whether they feel confident with their online skills or not.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for mental health professionals

DESCRIPTION: Diminished desire and difficulty orgasming with a partner are the two most common concerns women bring to practitioners. Too often women report feeling they are the cause of these problems and are somehow “broken”, not recognizing the roles that culture, medical, and relational factors play. Furthermore, while many women feel challenged by these concerns, it is often only revealed to clinicians when directly asked. Yet, many clinicians have never received adequate training in assessing or dealing with these matters.
In this follow-up to her previous webinar, Dr. Mintz will help participants better understand the cultural reasons for the high prevalence of these sexual problems among women. You will also become versed in the myriad medical, individual, and relational causes underlying both concerns. Most importantly, evidence-based treatments for both concerns will be presented. You will leave this webinar able to assess, normalize, and intervene with these common issues.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals

DESCRIPTION: While you may shiver at the idea of an insurance plan, ethics committee, or licensing board reviewing your charts, this is happening more frequently — even to psychotherapists who don’t work with insurance. Poor notes may even be considered fraud or unprofessional conduct, or lead insurance plans to refuse claim payments or ask for money back.
In these cases, well-written records are essential, can be your only defense, and can be a deciding factor in whether a client gets necessary treatment or disability approval.
But like most therapists, you probably never received training in how to write notes. And you may not realize how your current note-keeping habits can hurt you – and your clients.
This course will teach you how to write BRIEF notes that satisfy legal, ethical, and insurance expectations, so that you’ll feel confident when you receive a records request.
Plus, we&#8217;ll outline new documentation requirements for telehealth. You’ll be introduced to 2 note templates, which you can download and use immediately in your practice. Best of all, you will get the rare opportunity to see examples of what “good” progress notes look like.
Other topics will include:
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>Is &#8220;the less you write, the better&#8221; a good policy?</li>
<li>11 things insurance plans and licensing boards require in notes</li>
<li>Documenting “medical necessity,” the key to treatment approvals</li>
<li>Dealing with notes that are late or missing</li>
<li>Audits: Why notes may be requested &#8212; even if you are not in-network</li>
<li>Possible negative consequences of poor notes</li>
<li>Preventive steps you can take now to avoid &#8220;clawbacks&#8221;</li>
<li>If time: how to keep from falling behind in your notes</li>
<li>Plus &#8212; time for you to ask YOUR questions about notes.</li>
</ul>
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals
