Chronic pain is more than a physical experience—it affects emotional and psychological well-being as well. In this workshop, therapists will explore the profound impact of chronic pain and how it intersects with co-morbid psychological conditions such as anxiety and depression. Participants will gain valuable insights into the brain-body connection, focusing on the brain’s role in pain perception and the influence of emotional and psychological factors. Therapists will also learn to distinguish between structural and neural circuit-related pain and be introduced to evidence-based interventions, including Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), for treating chronic pain in their clients.
This workshop goes beyond theory, offering practical tools and strategies that therapists can implement immediately in their practice. Through case studies, experiential exercises, and group discussions, participants will learn how to tailor pain management approaches that address both the physical and psychological needs of their clients. The integration of various therapeutic modalities will empower therapists to provide holistic care, choosing the most effective interventions for clients with chronic pain and related psychological conditions. By the end, participants will be equipped to enhance their clients’ quality of life through a comprehensive, mind-body approach to pain treatment.

There are quite a few therapy approaches with a lot of clout in the evidence-based category, especially as paired with the treatment of certain disorders. But few pack the punch that ERP packs for the treatment of OCD and anxiety disorders. If you treat OCD or other stubborn, treatment resistant anxiety, ERP is a must-have tool you’ll need to master if you desire effective outcomes with those clients tortured by persistent obsessions, compulsions, or anxious thoughts.
Join this full day intensive on Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, designed to blend foundational theory with practical tools you can immediately apply in your work with clients. ERP is the gold-standard, evidence-based treatment for OCD and is equally effective for treating anxiety disorders.
We’ll begin with an overview of OCD—serving as an introduction for some and a refresher for others—before diving into ERP: what it is, how it works, and why it’s so effective for many people. Join us for a dynamic learning experience to enhance your clinical skills with ERP.

Believe it or not, an entire clinical community exists around SST, or Single Session Therapy. It is a very direct and solution-oriented way to think about and approach mental health therapy. It is a very strategic model, built to provide value and resolution for the client within a single session. Why is this a good thing? Well, some clients are busy or resistant to therapy (for cultural or other reasons), and may not even entertain going to therapy if they think about coming for many sessions in a row. This means we have a unique opportunity to extend important services to a deserving population and hard-to-reach group of people.
In this “single session” workshop, I will discuss the nature of single-session therapy (SST) and its foundations. I will then present the features of the single-session therapy mindset and the practical strategies that flow from this mindset. I will also do a live demonstration of SST with a volunteer willing to discuss a personal issue that they wish to resolve. Finally, I will also discuss common reservations therapists have about SST

Such a stigma exists around sexual addiction that too few seek help when they need it and not enough trained clinicians are available to clinically treat it as well as validate its existence as a growing mental health concern. In the same vein, there exists too few opportunities to train in this area, possibly driven by the extreme amount of taboo around sexual behavioral disorders.
