Description
“Fix my kid!”—that desperate cry of parents and caregivers who walk into your office seeking help.
You start the therapeutic process with your go-to techniques. And your young client progresses…for a while. But when they fail to make additional gains, or even regress, your skills as a therapist are put to the test. When all your usual tools have been exhausted, you’re left feeling helpless and wondering how to move forward.
Join Amanda Crowder, LCSW, as she delivers an energetic, technique-heavy workshop that will breathe new life into how you approach avoidant, and complex client cases—with creative, activity-based CBT interventions!
Through powerful must-have CBT techniques, case examples, activities, exercises, and hands-on practice you will be able to:
- Improve outcomes for children and adolescents with disruptive behavior, trauma, anxiety, self-injurious behaviors and more
- Easily integrate these essential skills in your practice and allow you to individualize them for a variety of disorders and temperaments
- Drastically increase children’s engagement in treatment, improve emotional functioning, strengthen relationships, maximize academic engagement, and minimize acting-out behaviors
- Create an affiliation between you, the child, and family members - boosting parent/child satisfaction, motivation, and retention in therapy
You’ll leave feeling prepared and empowered to improve the lives of your most difficult-to-treat young clients with a creative, activity-based CBT approach!
