Out of the Box: Creative Approaches to Telehealth. Sofiya Kostareva LMHC, Expressive Arts Therapist. January 20. Zoom. Many of us dove into teletherapy with little-to-no formal training in providing therapeutic services using this method of care. Non-traditional methods of therapy like visual expression, reflective story-telling, and guided movement are not only more inclusive but inherently more effective when offered via Telehealth, because they, too, defy linear models that emphasize cognitive and verbal processes as the only therapeutic approaches.

Reframing Resistance: Maybe Teens Aren't Stubborn, Oppositional, or In Denial. David Flack LMHC, CDP. January 26 (9am-12:15pm). Zoom. This workshop will reframe this so-called resistance from developmental, attachment-based, and trauma-informed perspectives.
