Neurodiverse Communication in Couples and Families

Neurodiverse Communication in Couples and Families: Reducing Conflict, Building Connection

This webinar satisfies requirements for live interactive CE credits for all professions.
DESCRIPTION: Shame and self-blame are among the most pervasive and clinically challenging forces in trauma work — yet they are often misread, minimized, or missed entirely. Clients who withdraw from care, relentlessly criticize themselves, present with persistent self-doubt, or seem stuck despite solid therapeutic progress may be living inside a shame response that neither they nor their clinicians have fully named. When shame goes unrecognized, treatment stalls and clients suffer unnecessarily.
This webinar offers clinicians a practical and theoretically grounded framework for understanding and working with shame and self-blame across trauma presentations. Drawing on key frameworks including Tangney&#8217;s shame-guilt distinction, Nathanson&#8217;s Compass of Shame, Brown&#8217;s Shame Resilience Theory, Etherson&#8217;s Shame Containment Theory, and Gilbert&#8217;s compassion-focused approach, participants will learn to recognize shame-based clinical presentations, understand their developmental and relational origins, and apply evidence-informed interventions in the therapy room. The course includes case illustrations and is applicable to psychologists, therapists, social workers, and counselors across disciplines who work with trauma-affected clients regardless of diagnosis or population.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals
Content level: Introductory/Intermediate

Working with Shame and Self-Blame in Trauma Therapy

This webinar satisfies requirements for live interactive CE credits for all professions.
DESCRIPTION: AI chatbots, technically referred to as large language models have been adopted faster than any technology in history, for reasons not hard to understand: they do not just provide information, they offer comfort. That is a powerful combination for people who are increasingly lonely, stressed, and mistrustful of others. Whether or not we consider ourselves technically inclined, AI is already part of our clients&#8217; emotional lives.
This webinar is the first in a series of three that offers participants an orientation to where things stand: the social forces driving AI adoption, the specific technologies clients are using, and the multiple roles these technologies can play, including friend, lover, and therapist.
This training is designed for clinicians at every level of technical comfort, including those who have never interacted with a chatbot. Research regarding the potential therapeutic effectiveness of chatbots, and how they compete with traditional therapy, will be reviewed.  We will look at what AI tools can genuinely offer clients, as well as the risks that deserve our clinical attention. We’ll give particular care to vulnerable populations, including adolescents and clients with attachment challenges. Participants will leave with a clearer map of this new terrain and a solid foundation for webinars two and three.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals
Content level: Introductory/Intermediate

When Clients Turn to AI

When Clients Turn to AI: Understanding the Rise of Chatbots and AI Mental Health Support

This webinar satisfies requirements for live interactive CE credits for all professions.
DESCRIPTION: Your clients are already using AI. The clinical question is no longer whether to address it but how. This webinar is the practical core of the series: how to screen for AI use at intake in a way that opens the conversation rather than closing it, how to assess the function AI is serving in a client&#8217;s life, and how to have honest conversations about benefits and risks without pathologizing a tool the client may genuinely value. We will distinguish between AI use that enriches a client&#8217;s relational world and use that substitutes for it.
The second half moves from assessment to integration. We will work through concrete ways AI can be brought into treatment deliberately, including AI as a between-session homework facilitator, for psychoeducation, and for customized relaxation and guided experiences. The webinar closes with detailed clinical vignettes, such as a chatbot in the couples therapy room, and a client presenting with AI psychosis.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals
Content level: Introductory/Intermediate

Assessing AI Use in Therapy

Assessing AI Use in Therapy: How to Talk with Clients About Chatbots and When to Be Concerned

This webinar satisfies requirements for live interactive CE credits for all professions.
DESCRIPTION: The final webinar turns to the questions of ethics, business strategy, and our own experience. AI raises ethical challenges that our professional guidelines have not yet caught up with, including confidentiality, documentation, liability, informed consent, and the value and limits of peer guidance when the ground is shifting this quickly. We will examine concrete options for becoming more competitive, including integrating VR protocols, deepening our human presence in the therapy room, offering a hybrid therapy + AI model of care, reconsidering fees and availability, and re-skilling toward the areas where AI consistently falls short: severe mental illness, couples therapy, trauma, family systems, and forensics.
The webinar closes with a discussion of the personal reactions most of us are having to our rapidly changing professional landscape and world.  Together we will consider countertransference with AI-involved clients, the challenge of sitting with an uncertain professional future, AI&#8217;s reach into our personal and family lives, and self-care as a clinical imperative rather than a luxury. We will close by exploring the meaning and opportunity this moment holds for therapists willing to meet it.  
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals
Content level: Introductory/Intermediate

The AI-Informed Clinician

The AI-Informed Clinician: Ethics, Bias, and Staying Current in a Rapidly Changing Landscape

DESCRIPTION: Our world is changing faster than at any point in history, and the therapy environment is no exception. Many therapists don’t consider themselves technically inclined — and yet AI is reshaping the intimate landscape of human connection whether we’re paying attention or not. Large language models have been adopted faster than any technology in history, and the reason isn’t hard to understand: they don’t just provide information, they offer comfort. That’s a potent combination for people who seem increasingly lonely, stressed, and mistrustful of their peers. 
This series addresses the landscape therapists are now navigating. We’ll cover the technologies clients are using, how to engage clients clinically around AI, ethical and legal issues, ways to make our practices more competitive in a changing market, and the personal reactions most of us are having but haven’t had much space to talk about.
This is a 3 part series. If you are unable to attend any of the sessions, recordings will be added to your account for your review and CE credit as your schedule permits.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals
Content level: Introductory/Intermediate
