6 continuing education ethics clock hours
LIVE ONLINE WEBINAR*

Many challenges confront therapists today that force us to stretch our thinking. Is it possible to be an effective therapist, run a business, navigate HIPAA, Medicaid, and the insurance industry. And then add the challenges of dealing with more personality disorders, sexual issues, and the challenges of working with more diverse families. A new feature of this workshop will be on physical safety and security in the office. Richard has worked in the industry for over 25 years . He is a licensed professional counselor, nationally certified counselor, certified clinical hypnotherapist, certified betrayal trauma specialist, and a certified sexual & relational recovery specialist. Richard has supervised many therapists for licensure with the state of Georgia. He also does supervision and training around the United States for problematic sexual behavior and betrayal trauma specialists. Richard has worked with a variety of issues around family law, and working with children and adolescents. There will also be discussion around maintaining personal safety and ethics. Securing our offices as a safe place for our clients and ourselves is becoming more important. Sadly, in the last three months there have been at least two therapists killed while at work in another state. Most companies today do active shooter training’s. It’s important to consider these issues before there is a tragedy. This will be a unique approach to ethics with lots of lively discussion around complex issues.
