This webinar satisfies requirements for live interactive CE credits for all professions.
DESCRIPTION: If you avoid writing treatment plans, you aren’t alone. In one survey, 63% of psychotherapists reported they did not write treatment plans on all clients. Many stated they just didn’t have the time, or didn’t see them as helpful.
Yet treatment plans are required by insurance plans, ethics codes, and many state laws. Without an appropriate written treatment plan, you (or your client) may not be reimbursed by a health plan &#8212; or may be asked to pay money back. You could also be cited by a licensing or ethics board. Plus, a treatment plan can protect both you and your clients, ensuring all parties have a clear understanding of the goals and progress being made.
This webinar will address how to write a brief treatment plan that fulfills the expectations of insurance, ethics boards, licensing boards, and other oversight agencies.
Time permitting, we will address:
<ul style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">
<li>How a treatment plan is different than a progress note</li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">
<li>Shortcuts to make plans quick — but not “cookie cutter”</li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">
<li>How to choose goals — and which goals to avoid</li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">
<li>How to write goals that meet Medical Necessity Criteria</li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">
<li>How objectives differ from goals</li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">
<li>How to choose and describe your interventions</li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">
<li>How to update treatment plans — and how often to do it</li>
<li>Lots of sample treatment plans!</li>
</ul>
FREE DOWNLOADS: Best of all, participants will be given two downloadable sample treatment plans, plus a blank template you can use in your practice immediately. You will also get a list of sample interventions, and sample goals for children and adolescents.
The training is aimed at a nationwide audience. It is appropriate for introductory or veteran psychotherapists, supervisors, practice managers, students, or counselors-in-training, regardless of experience level or practice setting.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals

How to Write a 10-Minute Treatment Plan

This webinar satisfies requirements for live interactive CE credits for all professions.
DESCRIPTION: If you are a psychotherapist who never received training in how to write progress notes, you are in good company.  But you may not realize how your current note-keeping habits can hurt you — or your clients.  Especially with insurance plans more frequently reviewing client charts — even those of out-of-network therapists — this training couldn’t be more essential.
This three-hour webinar will give you a great overview of how to write progress notes, with an eye toward meeting legal, ethical, and licensing boards requirements.  You&#8217;ll be given tips to create brief, helpful notes that can allow you to feel confident if you ever receive a records request, or if you have to defend yourself in a complaint.   In addition, you will learn about health plan documentation requirements, in case you are audited.  For all therapists, more detailed notes can mean protecting ourselves, as well as helping clients get the treatment they deserve.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals

This webinar satisfies requirements for live interactive CE credits for all professions.
DESCRIPTION: Mental health symptoms aren’t always what they seem—fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, panic attacks, and even memory problems can sometimes be signs of underlying medical conditions rather than purely psychological disorders. What if your client’s “treatment-resistant depression” is actually a thyroid disorder? Or their panic attacks are being fueled by undiagnosed heart issues?
As a mental health professional, you’re the first line of defense in helping clients get the care they need—but recognizing when to treat, investigate further, or refer out can be tricky. This practical, eye-opening training will give you the confidence to differentiate medical from psychiatric conditions so you can stop second-guessing, make smarter clinical decisions, and ensure your clients receive the right treatment.
Among the topics covered in this webinar include:
<ul style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">
<li>The top medical conditions that masquerade as depression, anxiety, ADHD, and even psychosis</li>
<li>5 key screening questions (+ follow-ups!) to help you determine if symptoms might have a medical cause</li>
<li>When to refer to a medical provider—and how to advocate when medical concerns are dismissed</li>
<li>How sleep, nutrition, and lifestyle factors can mimic or worsen psychiatric symptoms</li>
<li>Real-world case examples to help you apply your knowledge in practice</li>
</ul>
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals

DESCRIPTION: Join us for an Author&#8217;s Talk &#8211; a timely and insightful conversation with Dana Ackley, PhD, author of *<a href="https://theeqpress.com/?gad_source=1&amp;gbraid=0AAAAArBXHq_udLJFrz754NfN08252jjZk&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwkN--BhDkARIsAD_mnIq0nkEbdYiRNYtdRoooDZCN5PLh4aVzmRfbnIP37wUzdACZ1vGD7eYaAu72EALw_wcB">A Little Book to Save Humanity</a>.* Dr. Ackley provides a refreshing antidote to the approach of the fear entrepreneurs  &#8211;  the folks on social media, in the news, and those politicians who enrich themselves by selling us on the idea that the world is a dangerous place – and that those who do not share our views are not to be trusted.
Through compassion, humor, and wisdom amassed from a lifetime of being first a therapist and then an executive coach, Dr. Ackley will discuss why and how fear sells. Even more importantly, how we can use Emotional Intelligence (EQ) to better manage disruptive emotions, develop resilience, and build healthier relationships.
Dr. Ackley will share practical strategies that professionals can use to help both their clients and themselves build stronger emotional awareness and self/other understanding.
This is sure to be a lively discussion with lots of sensible tidbits allowing time for your questions and reflections.
Video will only be available for 30 days after the webinar.

DESCRIPTION: Suicide risk can evoke uncertainty and fear in treatment providers, in part because it is difficult to understand and the stakes are high. In this context, Dr. Klonsky will present his Three-Step-Theory of suicide. The theory offers an explanation for suicide that is evidence-based, concise, widely applicable, and actionable. The webinar will describe the conditions that give rise to suicidal desire, the conditions under which suicidal desire progresses to a potentially lethal suicide attempt, and key causes of suicide risk that can be flexibly monitored and targeted across diverse intervention modalities and contexts. This webinar is designed to be of use to beginner, intermediate, and advanced audiences.

This 8-module basic EMDR training will include everything you need to know to begin using EMDR effectively with your clients. Throughout this immersive training, participants will learn the intricacies of EMDR therapy, gaining invaluable insights and practical skills to effectively address trauma and promote healing in their clients.
Participants begin the training by exploring foundational EMDR framework elements, discussing treatment goals, and homing in on the history-taking phase and preparation phases of EMDR. Through experiential exercises and case studies, participants will learn essential techniques for preparing clients for the therapeutic journey, ensuring readiness and resilience for the processing phases ahead.
Practice portions will be integrated into the sessions.  As part of the practice sessions, participants will spend one-on-one time guiding one another through the core processing phases of EMDR therapy, which include assessment, desensitization, installation, body scan, and closure. Opportunities abound to work alongside other mental health professionals in a mock client/practitioner relationship with the goal of promoting adaptive processing and integration of traumatic memories. Participants find the hands-on approach key to building confidence in applying EMDR skills in clinical settings.
The last sessions of the training centers on the final re-evaluation phase, reflecting on progress and addressing residual trauma symptoms. Throughout the 8-module training program, participants will not only acquire practical skills and theoretical knowledge but also cultivate a deeper understanding of trauma-informed care and the transformative power of EMDR therapy. Join us on this important journey to strengthen our capacity as catalysts for healing and growth!

Introduction to Deconstructing Anxiety

This webinar satisfies requirements for live interactive CE credits for all professions.
DESCRIPTION: 
According to a recent meta-analysis completed by the Canadian Psychological Association, the success rate for treating various anxiety disorders is only 46%.  What are we missing?
Behind all anxiety, lies a one of 5 core fears around “universal themes of loss”–that we all share, including:
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>abandonment (loss of love),</li>
<li>loss of identity,</li>
<li>loss of meaning,</li>
<li>loss of purpose and</li>
<li>fear of death.</li>
</ul>
We develop our primary defenses, usually early in childhood or at times of trauma, as our best attempt to protect ourselves from these fears, but always at too great a cost.  This leaves us constantly holding vigil, on the lookout for the resurfacing of the fear.  We build our entire personality upon this fear-defense dynamic.  When it spins out of control, an anxiety disorder develops.
This webinar, appropriate for all levels, presents an overview of the Deconstructing Anxiety model, a new, evidence-based approach to understanding and treating anxiety.  Incorporating psychodynamics, mindfulness, Gestalt, CBT and transpersonal psychology, Dr. Pressman will introduce unique exercises that enable us to pinpoint the precise mechanism by which the core fear is adopted and reverse its effects.  Doing so not only resolves the initial problem but provides a clear roadmap to what the Deconstructing Anxiety model calls &#8220;Fulfillment&#8221;&#8211;a restoration of an original sense of wholeness and completion that brings meaning and purpose to our lives.
Come prepared for an exciting adventure into the deepest regions of the unconscious, where the hidden fears at the source of our difficulties live, to bring them out into consciousness, available for rapid and lasting transformation.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals
