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 noon 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 group meets via zoom and is $85 per session. Cynthia asks that you are able to attend 5 of the 6 sessions.
