🌿 A sincere thank you to everyone who joined yesterday's workshop. It was a genuinely dynamic group, and the willingness to reflect honestly and show up fully, for yourselves and for this work, made the day what it was. I do not take lightly the opportunity to be in that room with you. Grateful for the work we get to do together. 🙏

🌿 Most of us are trained to gain knowledge about communities other than our own. That knowledge is important. It is also incomplete.

We examine culture, identity, and lived experience as they show up in clinical work. Each workshop is structured for discussion, reflection, and honest exchange.

🔑 We use the word "safe" a lot in this profession. Safe space, safe enough, creating safety. What are we actually talking about?

For so many of the people we work with, safety is not an internal experience they have access to. It is a concept we keep naming for those who have not experienced it.

🧭 Healing-centered practice asks us to look beyond the behavior. What happened? What was needed? What did they learn to do without it? Day 1 is full. Days 2 and 3 still have space.

📅 April 24th: Healing-Centered Practice: Core Concepts and Approaches
📅 April 25th: Anchored in Uncertainty: Navigating the Unexpected in Therapy

9:30am-4:30pm | 6-12 CEUs | Small group | Sliding scale | $125–$175 + GRT

🌿 Healing-centered practice shifts the question from "what is wrong with this person" to "what has happened to this person and what do they need to heal."

It is not a new technique. It is a different orientation. One that requires us to examine our own assumptions, our training, and the systems we work within alongside the people we support.

A few spots remain for April 24th and 25th. April 23rd is full.

📅 April 24: Healing-Centered Practice: Core Concepts and Approaches
📅 April 25: Anchored in Uncertainty: Navigating the Unexpected in Therapy

In person | Capped at 10 | Albuquerque | 6 General CEUs each | $125–$175 + GRT | Sliding scale

🌱 No one teaches us what to do when the unexpected shows up in session. We figure it out in real time, often alone, often after the fact. That is what the third day is about. The first two lay the ground.

📅 April 23 | Trauma-Informed Care through a Healing-Centered Lens
📅 April 24 | Healing-Centered Practice: Core Concepts and Approaches
📅 April 25 | Anchored in Uncertainty: Navigating the Unexpected in Therapy

Healing-centered frameworks newer to you: April 23 and 24 are a strong place to start.Each one stands on its own and all three build on each other.

Three days. In person. Albuquerque. Ten people max. Breakfast and lunch provided. Spots are going faster than I expected.

☯ I spend a lot of time thinking about what it means to practice from a place of healing rather than pathology. How do we show up for the people we support in ways that recognize their capacity rather than their deficits?

That question is woven through all three of the trainings I am offering this April in Albuquerque.

📆 April 23: Trauma-Informed Care through a Healing-Centered Lens
📆 April 24: Healing-Centered Practice: Core Concepts and Approaches
📆 April 25: Anchored in Uncertainty: Navigating the Unexpected in Therapy

Not sure which to choose? Newer to healing-centered frameworks, start with one and two. Already have a foundation, two and three will take you deeper.

Intentionally small, ten people max. Depth over content. Full-days, in person, 6 CEUs. Sliding scale. If something here resonates, reach out. I would love to have you join us.
