This month we’re turning toward the relational field: the feelings, assumptions, somatic cues, and micro-reactions that arise between client and clinician. This work calls us to prioritize awareness, monitor our internal responses, and hold countertransference not as a “mistake,” but as information—clinical data with the potential to deepen attunement, clarify what’s happening, and support repair.

In our first June meeting, we’ll focus on recognition: learning your early warning signs, tracking patterns, and building enough inner steadiness to stay present when something activates.

To prepare (required):

• Watch: Deliberate Practice for Countertransference Reactions — webinar with Dr. Hanna Levenson

• Read: Managing Countertransference with DBT Skills: Mindfulness and Emotion Regulation

Come with one reflection:

• Which emotions, somatic responses, or reactions tend to signal that transference/countertransference may be occurring for you?

• What helps you remain grounded and regulated when you notice a strong internal response?

In our second May meeting, we’ll shift from definition to practice: how boundaries are established, maintained, and repaired when they’re tested (by clients, systems, and sometimes our own countertransference). We’ll focus on language you can actually use—consent, transparency, and ongoing check-ins—so boundaries feel less like a wall and more like a steady, compassionate structure.

Bring a moment you’ve been thinking about: a boundary that got blurry, a place you froze, a time you over-explained, a client who pushed, a system that made it hard to do what felt right. This is the work.

To prepare:

• The Benefits of Better Boundaries in Clinical Practice (APA)

• “How to set boundaries” with therapist Nedra Glover Tawwab
  Optional background: Psychodynamic Perspective on Therapeutic Boundaries; Tabula Rasa (Blank Slate)

Come with one question:

• How do cultural, social, or systemic factors shape how boundaries are perceived or experienced?

• How do you respond when a boundary is tested, blurred, or broken—by a client, a system, or your own countertransference?

You don’t have to do EMDR work in a vacuum. This monthly virtual consultation group offers a steady space to bring questions, stuck points, and real cases for thoughtful support. Together, we’ll refine your use of EMDR, strengthen resourcing and target sequencing, and build clarity in complex presentations—while also creating the kind of professional community that helps you stay grounded in this work.

Come with one reflection:

• What does “boundary” mean to you personally—as a therapist and as a person?

• Where do you notice boundary confusion show up (in session, between sessions, or in your own life)?

n April, we’ll be joined by a guest speaker connected to Synthesis Institute for a conversation about psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and the emerging landscape of training, ethics, and clinical application. Synthesis describes its training as interdisciplinary and trauma-informed, with emphasis on preparation, support/facilitation, and integration, and it offers a Colorado-specific licensure pathway that includes didactic education plus supervised components.

This is a topic that tends to bring up both hope and caution—and both belong here. Our goal is discernment: clinical responsibility, cultural humility, and thoughtful engagement with what’s changing in the field.

A collaborative monthly consultation space for EMDR clinicians to deepen skills, consult on cases, and build confidence with EMDR treatment planning and troubleshooting—while staying connected to a supportive professional community.

For our second March meeting, we’ll get more practical and clinically specific: how we assess social media’s impact, how we support clients in building boundaries that are values-based (not fear-based), and how we stay ethically grounded in a world built to pull us out of presence. We’ll also make room for the bigger layers—algorithms, online identity, parasocial dynamics, and the ways “always online” can echo collective trauma and disconnection.

Bring a client pattern you’re seeing, or your own—either one counts.

This monthly virtual EMDR consultation group focuses on sharpening clinical decision-making and increasing comfort with EMDR across phases of treatment. Consultations may include case conceptualization, readiness and resourcing, target selection, blocking beliefs, interweaves, and addressing common challenges in reprocessing. The group format offers both expert guidance and peer learning in a structured, supportive setting.

Social media is one of those forces that’s so constant we can forget it’s shaping us. It impacts attention, identity, nervous systems, relationships, and meaning-making—and our clients are trying to heal inside that reality. In our first March meeting, we’ll explore social media as both a mirror and a magnifier: reflecting what’s already there while intensifying anxiety, comparison, performance, and validation-seeking.

If you’re willing, let’s hold this with compassion—because none of us are immune.

Bring one question to group:

• How does social media influence your sense of attention, self, or connection?

• What patterns of comparison, performance, or validation do you notice (in you or your clients)?

• How do you talk about social media use without shaming the coping?

For our second February meeting, we’ll move from insight to practice. It’s one thing to understand power and oppression conceptually; it’s another to translate that understanding into clinical skill—especially in moments of rupture, mismatch, or when a client’s reality challenges our frameworks. This session is about building capacity: humility without collapse, accountability without defensiveness, and a steadier ability to name what’s happening in the room.

Therapy is shaped by systems—historical, political, cultural—that influence who holds power, whose experiences are believed, and whose distress gets labeled as “pathology.” For our first February meeting, we’ll focus on self-location: noticing where we carry privilege, where we carry harm, and how that shows up (quietly or loudly) in our clinical instincts, our language, and our treatment planning.

For our January session (Monday 12, 2026), we are honored to host Jane Reagan, who works with families and youth experiencing eating disorders.

This monthly consultation group is for therapists who want to deepen their clinical lens through the framework of attachment theory, moving beyond the basics and into nuanced, relationally attuned work. Together, we’ll explore how early attachment patterns shape adult relational dynamics and how to bring this understanding into the therapy room with clarity, compassion, and cultural awareness.

In honor of Pride Month, our June 2025 professional development session will focus on supporting queer mental health and exploring the intersectionality of queer identity, clinical competency, and the realities of politicized mental health care. This session is open to therapists, social workers, and counselors at all stages of licensure who want to deepen their understanding and practice through an inclusive, justice-informed lens.

We’ll examine how systems of power, oppression, and liberation shape the mental health experiences of LGBTQIA+ clients—and what it truly means to offer queer-affirming, intersectional care. As always, we’ll engage in collaborative discussion, small group work, and reflection to strengthen both awareness and clinical skill.

This is a great chance to refine your clinical documentation, reconnect with the purpose behind your paperwork, and feel more confident in guiding your clients' therapeutic journeys.
