I heard about Christopher through his podcast the Hip Hop Social Worker, and asked him to come MC the Private Practice Party. He’s got a lot of interesting and important projects around social work, race, oppression, and working with youth in the justice system. I’m excited for you all to get to know him and learn about his work, and understand how it impacts your work and how you build your business.
Our Private Practice Party is an event where curious therapists, social workers and counselors can meet every expert they’d want to consult with and/or hire all in one room. We’ve taken out the legwork for you and found the best of the best. Emeile Blank is one of three speakers who will share how she’s successfully navigated building a private practice, group practice and a creative agency on the side!
Our clinical supervision sessions are for marriage and family therapist interns, licensed professional counselor interns and social work associates. We cover the common factors each month. This month we’ll focus on the therapeutic alliance. We’ll read an article and come ready to discuss!

For February we are talking about love, and by love I mean empathy. When do you feel more connected than when someone really understands your life experience in a compassionate, accurate way?
For January all of our clinical supervision sessions will be centered around learning about the Common Factors and goal consensus and collaboration. Being on the same page as your client starts with knowing what they identify as the problem, and what they believe will be the solution. From there, you brainstorm, explore, and negotiate until you’re both ready to start the work together.
For December our clinical supervision groups are covering Polyvagal theory! This effective theory focuses on nervous system states, and helps us better understand ourselves and the clients we serve. Come join in the conversation!
This month in our clinical supervision groups we are discussing the therapeutic alliance. The strength of the therapeutic alliance is one of the biggest factors in determining the length, quality, and outcome of treatment. Basically, it’s one of the most important things to pay attention to (and get really good at) in our work. We’ll go over how it’s defined and how to improve it.
Our October groups are exploring ethics! Come sip some tea and join the conversation.
Our September topic is therapeutic modalities. I want each of you to have a broad overview of the most widely-used mental health therapeutic modalities as you navigate towards your clinical license.
Our August Clinical Supervision Group Topic is Eliciting Feedback. Eliciting feedback leads to greater clinical outcomes and client-clinical alliance. Let’s practice our skills together.
