Overview
Clinicians require a vast array of therapeutic tools, approaches, and skills to provide evidence-based treatment to the patients and clients. In this full-day training, join expert clinicians for this introduction to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mentalization Based Therapy (MBT). Ann Guzman, M.Ed, LPC will start the day with a brief overview and the major components of CBT and DBT. She will discuss the 6 Levels of Validation in DBT, evidence-based skills to incorporate into your professional practice, and case scenario examples to help provide context and additional clinical practice considerations. In addition, she will showcase skills that can be used in different clinical settings. In our second session, Griffin Smith, LCSW will provide the history and origin of MBT, a better understanding of the core concepts of MBT, and how mentalizing can be useful in your professional practice and personal life. Attendees will gain evidence-based practice information and skills to incorporate into their everyday practice.
