Empowerment of the Professional Self Series
Working as a professional therapist has unique challenges. In addition to addressing participant goals and objectives, the empowerment of the professional self series offers important tools to build upon existing skills in:
Professional Ethics
Working with difficult clients or colleagues
Engaging in successful business practices such as negotiation skills, useful as an individual practitioner or agency employee
Building therapeutic competencies
Supervision, utilizing ethical decision making
Developing Teaching skills to communicate theory & life change strategies
Stress reduction plan and practice
Using Cognitive techniques to find strength, balance and focus in ever changing environments to nurture therapist self-care
Empowerment of the Professional Self Series includes Professional Supervision, Skill-Building and Training Therapists to Teach; 3 separate and distinctive workshops .
Seminars offer information important to the practicing therapist. Therapists that are in the licensing process will find the material invaluable for establishing a best practices perspective and licensed clinicians can earn up to 10 ceus for each workshop based upon the completion of pre-study workshop material emailed upon paid enrollment. Pre-Study ceus are certified upon filling out an evaluative questionnaire completed at each seminar. The series provides skills and competency based workshops in a relaxed serene environment offering participants the opportunity to learn, reflect and grow into more effective and satisfied clinicians. Participants experience an interactive small group experience moving from awareness, insight and evaluation of current professional and personal circumstance to developing an action plan to reinvigorate goals, and move past identified obstacles.
