For February we are talking about love, and by love I mean empathy. When do you feel more connected than when someone really understands your life experience in a compassionate, accurate way?
For January all of our clinical supervision sessions will be centered around learning about the Common Factors and goal consensus and collaboration. Being on the same page as your client starts with knowing what they identify as the problem, and what they believe will be the solution. From there, you brainstorm, explore, and negotiate until you’re both ready to start the work together.
For December our clinical supervision groups are covering Polyvagal theory! This effective theory focuses on nervous system states, and helps us better understand ourselves and the clients we serve. Come join in the conversation!
This month in our clinical supervision groups we are discussing the therapeutic alliance. The strength of the therapeutic alliance is one of the biggest factors in determining the length, quality, and outcome of treatment. Basically, it’s one of the most important things to pay attention to (and get really good at) in our work. We’ll go over how it’s defined and how to improve it.
Our October groups are exploring ethics! Come sip some tea and join the conversation.
Our September topic is therapeutic modalities. I want each of you to have a broad overview of the most widely-used mental health therapeutic modalities as you navigate towards your clinical license.
Our August Clinical Supervision Group Topic is Eliciting Feedback. Eliciting feedback leads to greater clinical outcomes and client-clinical alliance. Let’s practice our skills together.
Mental Status Exams are an important part of your client documentation. Are you doing them in a way that most promotes respect for your client? Most highlights their growth, needs, healing process, and more?
