Join the Let’s Talk About It team for a panel discussion about how to comprehensively and ethically document your work. Documentation is a routine part of our work, but one that is rarely given the attention it deserves. With major changes to healthcare regulation occurring nationwide, it is our responsibility as providers now, more than ever, to ensure that we are documenting our work responsibly to protect ourselves and our clients’ information. Subjects to be covered will include how to determine what information is clinically relevant to a client’s chart, considerations for vulnerable populations, and psychotherapy notes versus progress notes.

This session will present learning materials, but the emphasis will be on facilitating a space in which a variety of experiences and levels of experiences with different types of documentation will be processed in a collaborative space, both with the Let’s Talk About It team members as well as attendees.

Thursday, July 10, 2025 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM EST. Virtual via Zoom.

Join Liz Rhea, LMSW for a 2-hour workshop exploring marketing, networking, and social media for therapists and grad students. Now, more than ever, marketing, networking, and social media is imperative - both to build your referral network and for potential clients to contact you. This workshop is a collaborative space where questions and discussion are welcome. We’ll answer questions like: how often should I post? What should I write in therapist directories/websites? Should I have a social media disclaimer? Who should I network with? Liz blends both personal and professional experience in this workshop, where you’ll leave with tangible tips, example language to use, and 2.5 pages of social media content ideas.

This 3-hour workshop explores how to support Queer and Trans (abbreviated Q/T) couples as a cis and/or non-Queer clinician. This workshop is designed for providers who do not hold Queer or Trans identities to increase competence and effectiveness in supporting Q/T-identified couples and partners. We will delve into means of facilitating an affirming and brave space, the common clinical considerations and cultural norms for Q/T partnerships, and tangible ways to engage in best practices while working with Q/T partnerships. While this training is geared toward providers, it is open to graduate students of all identities, interested Q/T providers, and supervisors of cis or non-Queer supervisees.

Substance and process use continue to be stigmatized areas of the mental health field, particularly outside of the traditional hospitalization environments. Working with users can be intimidating in environments not dedicated specifically to this concern for clinicians at all levels. This workshop is designed for clinicians who do not specialize in substance use disorders in outpatient practice settings to gain knowledge about the treatment of substance and process use outside of specialized treatment. This workshop explores the spectrum of substance use, respect for self-determination, considerations for diagnosis, level of care assessment using ASAM levels, and how to implement these into outpatient practice using an empirically-researched lens.

This workshop explores how mindfulness can be integrated into the healing process for relational trauma within queer relationships. We will examine how mindfulness practices can help clients become more present, reduce anxiety, and enhance emotional regulation as they work through trauma. The training focuses on using mindfulness to rebuild trust and intimacy, while also addressing the specific challenges faced by queer individuals, such as internalized stigma and minority stress. Therapists will learn how to guide clients in cultivating self-compassion, fostering resilience, and creating more mindful and affirming relationships.
