I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Consultation for Mental Health Providers using Harm Reduction Therapy
Introductory 6-week Harm Reduction Therapy Study/Consultation Group via Zoom
This introductory group is for therapists wanting to know more about Harm Reduction Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and their application in private practice. It continues for 6 consecutive Tuesdays from 10am to 12pm via Zoom.
Each week a different topic about Harm Reduction Therapy is introduced and discussed. Cynthia uses readings, video and exercises to teach Harm Reduction Therapy theory, Interventions including Motivational Interviewing, and explorations of therapist countertransference.
The second hour is reserved for presenting case material brought by the participants.
This virtual group is $85 per session. Participants are asked to be able to attend 5 of the 6 sessions.

Cynthia offers two monthly ongoing consultation groups for Harm Reduction Therapists:
every 3rd Friday of the month from 10am-12pm
