Professional development is important to the faculty of the CMHC program. As such, we developed some workshops to provide Continuing Education opportunities to students, professionals, and supervisors. CEU's can be earned for LPC, LMFT, and/or supervision. Each workshop will denote what CEU's can be earned.

Supervision Using Sandtray
Supervision is a process of developing skills and professional identity through supervisor roles of teacher, counselor, and consultant. Sandtray can be a bridge to help teach basic skills, assist in the counselor role of helping deal with issues interfering with counseling, and can aid in the consultant role of the supervisor. Each role will be explored and methods of using sandtray will be delineated with examples. Techniques will be discussed with supervision session video clips.
Magic Therapy
The art of illusion has captivated people for thousands of years. After a head injury, Kevin Spencer developed a program that would use simple magic tricks to help patients regain lost physical skills while increasing motivational levels and self esteem. This is the foundation of the Healing of Magic. Magic tricks can be used as part of a therapy, for improved muscle control, cognitive skills,
and to increase self-esteem. Magic is often used to reduce anxiety in pediatric clients. It is effective in increasing frustration tolerance, task follow through, concentration, group cooperation, impulse control,
communication, and many other therapeutic goals. It is also effective for adolescents with behavior disorders.
Tele-Play Therapy
There are quite a few therapists who have started seeing young clients in tele-health sessions. This workshop is for the therapists who have been attending our HSU sponsored play therapy workshops. It provides information in working to help young clients and their families to get through this unique time in our history.
Filial Family Therapy
Filial Family Therapy is where parents become the primary agents of change as they learn to conduct child centered play with their children in the home environment. It is based on the assumption that the parents are the most significant adults in the child’s life and have a greater impact than any therapist could. When parents learn more effective ways of relating to their children, positive results are likely to be more profound and longer lasting. This workshop will teach the basic principles of Filial Family Therapy to enable parents to help the therapeutic process at home.
Advanced Sandtray Therapy
Sandtray Therapy provides a bridge into feelings and self-discovery for issues that can be difficult to understand or discuss. This workshop will build on the foundations of Basic Sandtray principles. Sandtray Therapy can be done from major theoretical orientations; it can be used in Supervision to help supervisees; it can facilitate processing between couples; and it can provide a safe mechanism for dealing with trauma. All of these areas will be explored through case studies and discussion.
