The Basics of Developing and Maintaining Your Private Counseling*
Establishing a successful, stable, and legally compliant private practice takes creativity, hard work, and dedication. This workshop explores the many variables involved in developing and maintaining a private practice including clientele development, marketing, ethical considerations, and financial management. This workshop is hands-on in the sense that you will address development of your own practice and how to make this work for both your clients and you.

Spiritual Self Talk: What Would Love Say?
In order for clients to truly heal and make significant shifts in their reality, they need to discover an inner voice that feels good. A voice that speaks from the spirit rather than ego; a voice of love and possibilities instead of fear and limitation. The simple question, “What would love say?” redirects the mind towards beliefs that nurture and empower. By growing the voice of Love, clients can actually cultivate new feelings of worthiness, trust, and self-acceptance.
This workshop provides imagery/meditations for actual healing of fearful, painful thoughts and life experiences, explores spiritual self talk that embodies love and creates joy, helps clients move out of SHOULDS and the immobilizing fear of not being good enough or worthy, presents methods for creating new, positive emotions through meditation, and teaches meditation practices that help clients live with greater awareness about what they tell themselves.
Workshop Presenter: Lisa Venable, MA

Assessment and Treatment of Sexual Addiction
Sexual addiction is growing fast in the U.S. population and Internet pornography has exacerbated the problem greatly. Sexual addiction affects men, women, teens, and children across socioeconomic strata. Death from suicide and STD's are common consequences, as well as concomitant major depression and despair. Many Axis II disorders are also involved.
This workshop focuses on how to use an effective assessment tool and prescribe effective treatment strategies. Many therapists have clients about whom they suspect sexual addiction, but do not know how to skillfully probe into this area. There will also be a focus on how to begin with clients the discussion about sexual addiction.
Workshop Presenter: Jere Truer, MA, LICSW
