JST Institute LLC JST Institute is a threshold to training and education integrating therapeutic
ideas and practices

JST Institute is a threshold to training and education integrating therapeutic ideas and practices with social justice values and principles. It is also the home of the Journal of Systemic Therapies, which has been publishing collaborative, client-centered ideas and practices worldwide since 1981. Grounded in practice-based evidence, our approach privileges people’s local knowledge with an emphasi

s on abilities rather than deficits, possibilities rather than limitations. Our competency-oriented practices are highly effective when improving access to mental health services through walk-in clinics, single session therapy, brief services or longer-term environments. They are also beneficial when facilitating organizational change and innovation, working with communities experiencing hardship or, for any service that aims to provide people with the support they need in a timely manner. Our training and education includes workshops, certificate programs, online courses, conferences and publications.

Have you been thinking about starting supervision towards your LCSW? If so, I’d love to talk to you about it! I am available for a no-cost initial phone consultation to answer any questions you may have. I would be honored to partner with you in your journey.

Supervision provides an opportunity to grow and learn about yourself, develop your professional identity, and explore your hopes about your career. You get mentorship that helps you develops your clinical skills, built trust in your abilities, and prepares you for independent clinical practice. Group supervision provides rich peer support in safe and respectful ways. There is much we can learn from each other.

During supervision, we address essential domains of clinical practice: clinical documentation, ethics and best practices, DSM-5 TR diagnostic criteria, assessment, diagnosis and case formulation, practice modalities, psychopharmacology, cultural humility, to name a few. Guest speakers are occasionally invited to present on topics such Child and Adult Protective Services, Body-mind therapies, or specific therapeutic modalities.

I have 25+ of experience in various areas of practice
- Medical social work
- School social work
- Psychiatric social work
- Employee assistance practice
- Crisis counseling
- Grief & Loss
- Medical trauma and chronic illness

My areas of practice and expertise are located within collaborative, strength-based and respectful approaches such as Narrative Therapy, Brief Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. I work within a trauma-informed framework with influences from Interpersonal Neurobiology and Mindfulness.

Feel free to reach out!

Narrative Practices for Countering Despair: Reclaiming hope, personal agency and purpose during daunting times

In this workshop we will explore narrative practices for countering the effects of despair, both in therapy and in everyday life. We will explore practices for reclaiming hope and reconnecting with a sense of purpose during these daunting times. When people are consumed by despair and a sense of forboden, the notion of reengaging with hope and possibility can be challenging and risk trivializing their experience. The possibility of facilitating an inspiring, hope generating conversation can be elusive to even the most experienced therapist. What are the key elements of an inspiring, liberating conversation that generates hope, restores personal choice, strengthens social connection, and contributes to personal agency? What questions invite people to reconnect with their strongly held sense of values and purpose?
You will experience the use of conversational maps that can provide people with a foundation to address the predicaments, concerns, and problems of their lives in ways that are in harmony with what is important to them. These therapeutic conversations help people to break free from isolation and renegotiate significant and meaningful relationships in their lives.

SUPER Early Bird Fee: only $130 if you register by April 30th!

This introductory workshop serves as a threshold for those practitioners interested in the ongoing study of the key ideas and time sensitive practices of brief narrative therapy. Brief narrative therapy introduces the idea that our lives are made up of multiple experiences that can be strung together into many possible stories. Stories make it possible for people to make sense of their life experiences. When people enter into therapy, they are often captured up in problem saturated, self-demeaning, restricting stories that contribute to a sense of personal failure. This workshop will introduce participants to the propositions associated with the narrative metaphor and will invite them to explore the practices of narrative therapy that help people to challenge and break free of problem saturated stories and assist them to explore subordinated “identity stories” that offer new possibilities for their lives.
