Description

Therapists are most effective when we say what we are thinking, feeling, and perceiving from a place of caring and authenticity. This in-person workshop will challenge traditional, arbitrary definitions of the therapeutic relationship in favor of observing natural limits and using effective strategies to keep clients engaged and slightly off-balance. CDC-recommended COVID precautions will be observed. 3.0 hours of CEUs available for LPC, LMFT, and LCSW. About the Presenter: Kris Bryant LPC studied Psychology at Southern Nazarene University (2006) and Counseling Psychology at the University of Central Oklahoma (2009).
