This event will cover key aspects of assessing and treating anxiety disorders and OCD. It highlights diagnostic criteria, including distinctions between subtypes of OCD, and outlines how to conduct initial assessments using specific tools. It also addresses recognizing high-risk or treatment-resistant cases, knowing when to refer clients to higher levels of care, and the role of evidence-based treatments like ERP, CBT, and medication. It explores barriers to treatment engagement and strategies to overcome them, as well as the importance of family involvement and psychoeducation to improve treatment outcomes.

Do you need CEUs but aren't in the mood for a powerpoint+lecture thing? Want to practice and learn skills in community, that can be immediately applied to your therapy work? Want to learn experientially, and integrate new tools into your somatic presence, instead of trying to filter them down through your cognitive lens? Of course you do! 

Join Corrina Skildum and I (over 40 combined years of experience) for a one-day experiential training covering practical skills for working interpersonal and intrapersonal proximity in session (see link for an explanation of what that means, lol). This is our second time offering this training, and the first time every single attendee indicated interest in taking it a second time because they found it so useful (and fun)! 

In-person only, January 10th (a Friday), 9am-4pm, in Pioneer Square at the Shelterwood Collective, 6 CEUs, $125.
