A Creative Clinic on Countertransference: Using Art to Unblock a Therapeutic Relationship Starts May 21, 2010 Satisfies the 6 units of Mandatory Legal and Ethical CE requirements for LCSW’s and MFT’s Learn to use a quick and easily accessible method for identifying and resolving countertransference blocks in your therapeutic relationships. Access the gold mine of information that nonverbal images carry. Learn to translate your nonverbal expressions into problem solving ideas. This workshop consists of two parts. At the first meeting, you will learn the art process and practice interacting with your images. You will have the opportunity to try the process and apply it to one of your challenging therapeutic relationships. You will then have some important information to implement and/or experience in the time between our first and second meeting. At the second meeting, we will review the process and gain insights and feedback regarding the method. There will also be time for more art and a culminating experience regarding therapeutic relationships. I’ve thought about a way to combine Legal and Ethical CE’s and art for several years. This will be, by far, the most creative LE units you have ever received. When: May 21 and June 4, 2010. 9am-12pm You must attend both sessions. $150.

Using Art in Therapy Safely
and Effectively Starts January 8, 2010. 18 CEU’s for MFT’s and LCSW’s A training group for therapists who want to experience the transformative quality of art-making and learn to use creative expression to enrich their work. Many people
think that art therapy is about interpreting or figuring out the meaning
of client art. They ask, “What does it mean if someone draws a house
without windows?” The answers to questions like these are, at most,
diagnostic and do not facilitate life changing experiences. This
seminar teaches therapists to GET PAST INTERPRETATION and inside the client’s art where
clients can find their own solutions and initiate transformation.

20 CEU’s This seminar provides the opportunity for therapists to have a deeper, hands-on experience with their own creative processes. We will emphasize the traditional handwork skills that have been so easily replaced by modern inventions. While they were once considered life skills, spinning, weaving, encaustic wax painting, mosaic tiling and embroidery still cultivate a sense of centeredness and mindfulness. Each set of traditional skiills and materials embodies a therapeutic metaphor. I will be team teaching with three talented artists. Come integrate personal growth with professional development. Deepen your knowledge of the therapeutic process and of yourself.

The Creative Lens: A Reflective Art Process for Therapists 20 CEU's A part of this workshop will be presented at the STATE CAMFT CONFERENCE on April 22, 2010! In this workshop we'll use a reflective art process to create and acknowledge the positive effects that client relationships have on our lives. We will go beyond countertransference and explore the ways in which the therapeutic relationship can be transformative for both therapist and client. Participants will be challenged to see clietns in new ways and to actively seek meaning as a way to preserve well being and heighten career satisfaction. Altered book techniques will be the vehicle for this rich, reflective experience. Each session will emphasize a different altered book technique and an important journaling theme. By the end of the seminar, participants will be equipped to continue their own altered book journaling and to utilize altered books with clients. When: Group starts January 22, 2010. We meet for 8 sessions, 2 Fridays a month, 1pm-3:30pm. Dates are as follows: 1/22, 2/5, 2/19, 3/5, 3/19, 4/16, 4/30, 5/14. 8 meeting committment required $75 per meeting.

Cancellation policy: (back to top) Private Trainings and Retreats for Your Organization Please contact Lisa Mitchell if you are interested in a retreat or training for your organization. Lisa regularly trains and consults with agencies whose therapists and social workers desire to learn how to incorporate art into their work. Because so few graduate schools offer in-depth training in expressive arts, many therapists find that they lack the tools they need to work with the populations with whom they work. The following Sacramento agencies have benefited from Lisa’s trainings: Terra Nova Counseling, Child and Family Institute, Family Service Agency, The Family Study Center, A Place Within, Martin’s Achievement Academy, Summit Eating Disorder Outpatient Clinic, Sacramento Valley Chapter of CAMFT, The Clinical Society of Social Workers, UC Davis Child Life Specialists, The Mother Support Network, The State Office of Aids, WEAVE, St. Joseph's Hospital, Sutter Children's Bereavement Art Group.
