Health Insurance Literacy
Description: Let’s be real: just because you have health insurance, or take insurance in your practice, doesn’t mean you understand it. Not even close. And that’s okay…because insurance is basically confusing on purpose.
In this training, we’ll translate the “clear as mud” stuff (premiums, deductibles, copays, coinsurance, out-of-pocket max, and why it’s not actually the max you’ll pay), so you can support clients and your practice with way more confidence. No more internal panic when someone asks, “So the out-of-pocket max is the max, right?” Instead you’ll be able to say, “Well…kinda, but not really. Let me break it down.”
Learning Objectives:
Identify key health insurance types and managed care structures
Understand billing and reimbursement processes in private practice
Interpret common insurance terms such as deductibles, co-pays, and CPT codes
Navigate clinician–insurance relationships with greater clarity and confidence

Cultural Humility vs. Cultural Competence
Description: We talk a lot about cultural competence, but let’s be real, competence implies a finish line. Like one day you’ll “get it,” check the box, and be fully prepared for every cultural experience you’ll ever encounter. Nope!
This training invites clinicians to shift toward cultural humility, a lifelong, relational posture grounded in curiosity, accountability, and respect. Cultural humility makes room to admit what we don’t know, name power dynamics, and let clients lead as experts of their own lived experience. It’s not a skill you master. It’s a way you practice showing up, again and again.
Learning Objectives:
Differentiate cultural competence vs. cultural humility in clinical practice
Identify how power and privilege can show up in therapeutic relationships
Practice curiosity and reflective listening to better honor clients’ lived experiences
Use repair and accountability when missteps happen
Commit to cultural humility as an ongoing clinical posture

Transference and Countertransference: Using the Self in the Work
Description: Early-career clinicians are often told some version of: “Leave yourself outside the therapy room.” But the real question is, what are you bringing into the room?
Your Self (capital S) isn’t the problem. It’s one of your most important clinical tools. This training explores how our identities, histories, and emotional responses show up in the work, and how to use self-awareness (plus transference and countertransference frameworks) to stay regulated, attuned, and boundaried. The goal isn’t to disappear. It’s to be present without taking over.
Learning Objectives:
Explain “the Self in the work” as a relational clinical tool
Identify transference and countertransference in session dynamics
Recognize personal reactions that may impact treatment
Use reflection, supervision, and boundaries to work with countertransference ethically
Stay authentic and attuned without over-identifying or over-functioning

Trauma-Responsive Practices: When TLC Isn't Enough
Description: Trauma-informed care is a beautiful concept, and it can also become a checkbox. This training helps you move from knowing about trauma to actually responding to it, with practical, trauma-specific approaches that shift how you show up in session and how your policies, tone, and decisions support safety and choice.
Learning Objectives:
Identify key components of trauma-specific practices that enhance clinical knowledge, shift clinician attitudes, and tailor care to the individual.
Differentiate cultural competence from cultural humility, and name tools for ongoing learning, unlearning, and relearning.
Apply trauma-specific concepts to clinical practice to support program and practice changes.
Describe the shift from trauma-informed (knowledge) to trauma-responsive (attitude + action) in day-to-day care delivery.

Gender and Sexuality (and How They’re Different)
Description: This one’s for the well-meaning clinicians (especially my cis + hetero folks) who want to show up for LGBTQ+ clients without turning session into “Oops, I’m afraid to say the wrong thing.” You don’t need to know everything. You need curious, respectful language, a working map of gender + sexuality spectrums, and a willingness to stretch and stay open to the human experience. We’ll break down key terms, practice pronouns, and build real-world clinical skills for affirming care—while also making space to name bias, vulnerability, and the supports that help you keep growing.
Learning Objectives:
Define key concepts and common acronyms related to gender and sexuality (e.g., LGBTQ+, SOGIE, AFAB/AMAB) to support clearer clinical communication.
Use affirming pronoun practices and understand how culture intersects with gender/sexuality experiences and identity development.
Describe gender and sexuality as spectrums (identity, expression/presentation, orientation) and apply that framework to reduce assumptions in assessment and treatment planning.
Identify personal vulnerability/bias and name clinical supports (supervision, consultation, resources) that help you keep your work ethical, grounded, and affirming.

The War on Drugs
Description: Most people hear “War on Drugs” and think Nixon + the 1970s. This training starts way earlier, and gets way more personal. We’ll take a 200+ year tour from poppy fields to pharmacies to prisons, using a big-picture timeline and two “heroin(e)s” (Billie Holiday and Judy Garland) to show how stigma, systems, syndemics, and policy collide with real human lives. Along the way, we’ll connect that history to today’s addiction treatment landscape and name practical ways clinicians can shift toward more supportive, harm-reduction aligned care for people who use drugs. Grab a snack. This story is wild, infuriating, and clinically useful.
Learning Objectives:
Describe how the War on Drugs shaped today’s addiction treatment model of care.
Identify opportunities to refine clinical knowledge and support people who use drugs (PWUD).
Name personal and systems-level actions that increase supportive, harm-reduction-based services for PWUD.
Apply at least one lens (trauma-responsive, anti-racist, social determinants of health, syndemic) to a clinical or programmatic “why” question.
