Decades of research have concluded that the therapeutic alliance is the most important component of effective therapy. However, few courses teach practical skills for improving the client-therapist alliance. This seminar, which is a deep dive into NDIT Module 1, teaches clinicians ways to strengthen their connection to clients, especially those with personality disorder traits. No previous NDIT training is required for this course, but completion of this course counts toward NDIT certification (which will be offered starting late 2024).

Artificial intelligence can be a useful tool when used or deployed within certain boundaries (just like therapy!). But lately, AI has become….well, TOO intelligent. AI’s increasing capability has led to its expanding use in the mental healthcare space in the form of phone systems, bots, and chat engines that are beginning to assume roles that most argue are best assumed by a trained human provider. The struggle between increasing access to quality care while maintaining a well-regulated, safe, and ethical mental healthcare system is becoming more complex than we ever could have imagined!
In an increasingly digitalized world coupled with the post Covid-19 increase in symptoms of anxiety and depression, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being accessed at increasing rates by individuals seeking behavioral health care services. The ethical implications of these services are alarming, as therapeutic interaction with phone applications and chatbots is not regulated by mental health licensing authorities as trained human providers are. These tools were initially intended to be used as an adjunct to primary care under human providers; however, the increased demand for services outweighing access to trained providers is resulting in AI quickly becoming stand-alone care for individuals with behavioral healthcare needs. This cutting-edge and timely ethics training will provide an overview of common uses of AI in therapy, its questionable increasing role in the delivery of mental healthcare, and ethical implications as AI becomes more intelligent, and more pervasive in society.
In addition to the below formal course objectives this workshop will include the following additions:
1. A Mandatory Disclosure checklist that includes discussion with clients seeking services and using adjunct AI services.
2. A discussion of the heightened risks involved in utilizing behavioral health care services that are not regulated by a code of ethics.
3. A discussion of the importance of working with a clinical supervisor/clinical consultant and an information technology expert to navigate the clinical waters and to protect professional liability.
4. Existing training opportunities related to to ethical practice using AI as an adjunct to traditional human therapy with clients.

Evidence-informed therapies for PTSD can be either rigid and prescriptive, making it difficult to stay client-centered, or largely theoretical, sometimes lacking in practical application. Developed by a neuroscientist and clinical psychologist, Neural Desensitization and Integration Training (NDIT) is a flexible, module-based, trauma-focused approach to PTSD that integrates elements from EMDR, multichannel eye movement integration, prolonged exposure, IFS, and cognitive behavioral therapies. NDIT helps clients recover from post-trauma symptoms by specifically targeting and restoring the healthy functioning of these five key brain regions impacted by trauma:
- Amygdala,
- Hippocampus,
- Insula,
- Cingulate cortex, and
- Prefrontal cortex.
Grounded in decades of both brain science and empirical clinical research, NDIT is the first approach of its kind to bridge the gap between neuroscience and clinical practice.
NDIT consists of five distinct modules, each of which focuses on key skills associated with healthy brain change in specific brain regions. NDIT facilitates therapeutic brain change by teaching clients how to……
- enhance attunement and connection with others (using techniques targeting multiple brain regions),
- safely reconnect with their bodies (using insula-targeted techniques),
- regulate their nervous system (using amygdala-targeted techniques),
- strengthen their cognitive abilities (using cingulate and prefrontal cortex-targeted techniques), and
- gently process trauma in a titrated manner, minimizing retraumatization (using hippocampus and prefrontal cortex-targeted techniques).
Additionally, NDIT focuses on what clients can do outside of therapy sessions to facilitate faster progress in therapy. NDIT modules are strategically sequenced to accelerate neuroplasticity, helping clients move with natural brain change, not against it.
This comprehensive, Level I NDIT course teaches clinicians basic NDIT skills from start to finish, equipping them to immediately begin using NDIT skills in their own practice. Registration includes detailed NDIT slides, handouts, worksheets, and scripts.

Depression doesn’t quite get as much “love” as anxiety on the continuing education front. Many clinicians feel they don’t need to pursue continuing education on the treatment of depression if they don’t “see those types of clients.” And the perception is that anxiety is more common (and carries less of a stigma) than depression. Well, as we are well aware from our graduate training, depression often co-occurs with anxiety, so it stands to reason that ALL of us need continuing education in the treatment of depression, no matter the client population or treatment setting we target or work with in our practice. To bolster this argument, “COVID depression” is a real thing, with the COVID/Depression connection well-documented in the latest medical literature. In fact, WebMD reports that in a COVID-19 survivor sample, over half of the studied subjects reported feeling depressed many months after recovering from the illness.
Please join us for a learning experience that will increase your ability to activate clients challenged by depression and low mood. Walk away with the confidence to use intuitive solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) skills and interventions immediately, no matter your therapuetic orientation. Discover how this powerful approach can be deployed to successfully treat even the most high-risk clients with depression and mood disorder symptomology. Modernize your clinical toolset to meaningfully engage with clients continually challenged by post pandemic woes that can result in self-harm and other high risk behaviors. In addition to these powerful SFBT tools adapted for mood disorders, this training also includes a set of helpful handouts and assessments tools, a Safety Action Plan, and a Mandatory Disclosure checklist you can use with clients, as well as a bibliography of helpful reading material for additional education.
In addition to the below formal course objectives this workshop will include the following additions:
1. The history of Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).
2. The difference between problem solving and solution building and how that moves clients toward treatment goals more efficiently in the treatment of depression.
3. Define a client in SFBT; especially with regard to depressive symptoms.
4. Identify which interventions and questions fit in the three parts of the skeleton.
5. Learn and practice the nuances of language needed to effectively use SFBT with clients challenged by depression.
6. Name and describe “The trifecta” to learn this approach to decrease symptoms of depression.
