Continuing Education Groups

Reflective Counsel offers continuing education groups tailored for mental health professionals seeking to explore clinical practice through the lens of Reflective Meditation and Buddhist Psychology. These groups provide opportunities for therapists to meet, discuss, and reflect on various aspects of their clinical work.

Each CE group series is designed to take a deeper dive into relevant topics such as obstacles to being present with clients, ethical dilemmas, cultural influences on clinical practice, and the impact of trauma. By engaging in reflective discussions and exercises, participants can expand their awareness and enhance their therapeutic skills.

Participants earn continuing education hours for each session attended. Each series includes a minimum of 3 CE hours applicable to ethics or cultural competency, depending on the topics of that series. CE hours are granted only for sessions attended. At the conclusion of each series, members can continue their participation.

We offer these workshops several times a year. Please reach out to Susie Barrios, LCSW at susiebarrios@gmail.com or (503)317-9234.
