Dr. Thom Field is offering affordable NCE/CPCE/CECE and NCMHCE test prep. There's a reduced rate for grad students - use the discount code GRAD24 at checkout.  The rate is $199 for practitioners and $149 for grad students, for 6 hours of tutoring plus materials (4x 1.5 hour weekly meetings). Test prep is offered on Saturday afternoons. Classes start Aug 31. Thom uses the Zoom online platform, so people can participate from across the country. As a counselor educator and practitioner who has taken and passed both the NCE, NCMHCE, and CPCE, Thom understands how graduate study and clinical experience are not necessarily sufficient for passing these exams.  Thom’s tutoring approach for the NCE/CPCE has over a 90% pass rate.

FAQs

What’s the refund policy?

Refunds will be processed 24 hours before the first training session date.  Attendance and participation in my test preparation is not a guarantee of passing the exam.  Refunds will not be issued based on your exam performance.

What if I have to miss a session?

Plenty of my test takers participate in some or all of the test prep sessions asynchronously rather than live. I record all tutoring sessions for later viewing. I upload video recordings to an online Google Drive folder by the end of day. That same Google Drive folder houses all the test prep materials that you need to prepare for the exam. Importantly, students who participate asynchronously seem to perform just as well as students who attend live.

Even before the pandemic, the demand for mental health professionals with specialized training in trauma far exceeded the number available clinicians. Today, individuals are living with equal or more uncertainty, heightened stress, prolonged grief and trauma. The Internal Family Systems (IFS) model is an intervention designed to assist clients grappling with severe trauma-related behaviors and who might be unresponsive to conventional therapeutic approaches. This two-day training is tailored to empower clinicians working with diverse client populations experiencing traumatic responses, equipping them with an extensive toolkit of concepts and techniques to better serve this critical demographic.

Despite a lack of business training that prepares us to be small-business owners, many mental health professionals opt for self-employment as private practitioners. For some of us, we make this decision because our experiences as agency employees have included discrimination, organizational toxicity, lack of professional advancement pathways, and/or poverty-level wages that are negatively affecting our own mental health and economic stability, which can lead to burnout. And some of us are naturally entrepreneurial, excited by the sense of ownership, autonomy, flexibility, and creative outlets associated with owning our own business. 

Because we believe that for many in this field, private practice is the most viable option for emotional and economic wellbeing, 6R Learning Collaborative wants to support folks in this journey regardless of what stage you are at! While there are many opportunities for clinical continuing education, the business resources for starting a private practice and developing the mindset and skills to ensure its success are much more limited.  So we are offering a business retreat specifically designed for mental health professionals in private practice.

We invite you to join us for a 2-day retreat filled with opportunities for applied learning related to starting and strengthening your business, meaningful connection with other clinicians in private practice, and self-care to nurture your body and spirit. CEUs will be provided for some workshops. The retreat is located in south Seattle, within close proximity to the airport and other public transportation. Discounts are offered through May 31 in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month because your mental health matters too! More information can be found at www.buildingabundanceretreat.com. We hope to see you there!
