The sex addiction movement addresses fundamental human (and therefore clinical) issues: lust, desire, guilt, fantasy, decision-making, and the relationship of love and sex. The answers generated by this model, however, have important limitations—and for many people, they are disastrous, contradicting the best practices of psychotherapy and couples counseling. 
We will examine how patients’ impulsive or seemingly out-of-control sexual behavior may really involve:
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>medicating their depression, anxiety, or anhedonia</li>
<li>an arousal disorder or sexual dysfunction</li>
<li>denial of a disturbing sexual preference or orientation</li>
<li>fear of getting too close to a primary partner</li>
<li>inadequate attraction to or unspoken resentment toward a primary partner</li>
<li>attempting to remain in a low-sex or no-sex relationship</li>
<li>unresolved conflict with religious values</li>
</ul>
How can we best diagnose and treat patients with problematic sexual decision-making?
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals
Content level: Introductory/Intermediate

Seems as if hardly a day goes by anymore without AI being mentioned.  Is this simply a marketing ploy or is this a trend that is going to revolutionize mental health services?
The answer is Yes!
While much of what is noted is not in actuality AI, per se, the technology is advancing so rapidly that it is no longer a question of if, but rather when, we will all be using some form of AI driven services.
This beginning level webinar is designed to take some of the mystique out of AI and break down concepts for those who are not technically inclined.  We’ll begin by clarifying terminology such as AI, machine learning, big data, bots and algorithms and discussing how these are used in everyday applications.
Next, we will discuss how emerging technologies are being applied in the mental health fields to diagnose, predict, and treat a variety of conditions. Included will be a brief discussion of how AI driven tech can simplify professionals’ lives (hopefully) and enhance therapeutic outcomes.
Using real world examples and current applications, we’ll briefly dive into possibilities that will markedly change how mental health services are delivered.
For those interested in learning more, the accompanying course, to be introduced in the spring, will go more in depth into ethical concerns, protentional limitations and misuse.  More thorough information will be provided on how therapists can prepare for, discern, and implement in their practices some of the technology that currently exists.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals

Clinicians serving individuals across a wide range of settings are seeking to understand autism in broad strokes. For example, &#8220;What does social-emotional reciprocity look like?&#8221; &#8220;What if my client isn&#8217;t sensitive to noise?&#8221; &#8220;What might a fixated interest be in my client base?&#8221;
This two-hour webinar is designed for clinicians at an advanced introductory/ intermediate level who want to improve their understanding of the diagnostic criteria. Using a case study of a young adult female, Dr. Regan will point out how each of the seven diagnostic criteria manifest in a clinical setting. This focus of this training is on clinical observations and records reviews, rather than the use of diagnostic instruments to better grasp whether a client might be on the spectrum.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for mental health professionals

The answers generated by this model, however, have important limitations—and for many people, they are disastrous, contradicting the best practices of psychotherapy and couples counseling.
We will examine how patients’ impulsive or seemingly out-of-control sexual behavior may really involve:
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>medicating their depression, anxiety or anhedonia</li>
<li>acting out unconscious hostility</li>
<li>an arousal disorder</li>
<li>denial of a disturbing sexual preference or orientation</li>
<li>fear of getting too close to a primary partner</li>
<li>a recurring sexual dysfunction with a primary partner</li>
<li>inadequate attraction to, or unspoken resentment toward, a primary partner</li>
<li>attempting to remain in a low-sex or no-sex relationship</li>
<li>unresolved conflict with religious values</li>
</ul>
Why does it matter what we call (supposedly) out-of-control sexual behavior? Why are the overwhelming majority of patients diagnosed as sex addicts men—and what does that mean?
Most importantly, how can we best diagnose and treat patients with problematic sexual decision-making?
We’ll also look at the new narrative of porn addiction, and how it’s used to claim that porn is now a public health problem (rather than an old-fashioned immorality problem).
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>Do neuroscience and social psychology actually support this diagnosis?</li>
<li>What are our options when a patient is convinced he’s a porn addict—or begs to be diagnosed (and treated) as one to appease his partner?</li>
<li>How do we evaluate patients who seem to be using porn self-destructively?</li>
<li>How can we treat these patients most effectively?</li>
</ul>
 Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals

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.
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.
This intermediate level webinar is appropriate for mental health, social services, and child welfare professionals. You will learn the theory and clinical skills necessary to facilitate positive change and healing with clients who have experienced trauma and attachment wounds. You will learn effective assessment and therapeutic techniques to help children, adults, couples and families, based on the latest research and clinical advancements in trauma and attachment therapy, family systems therapy, neurobiology, and post-traumatic growth. 

Clinical videos will illustrate the process of change regarding: negative core beliefs and attitudes; developing attachment security in children and adults; trauma-based emotions, behaviors, coping strategies, and somatic reactions; self-regulation; communication, family dynamics and resilience; and helping controlling, defiant, angry and resistant clients. Via PowerPoint presentation, video case studies, and discussion, you will learn how to help clients achieve symptom reduction, healing from trauma, meaningful friendships, and fulfilling lives.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals.
