NACCTP: Culturally-Informed Treatment
with Ryan Kennedy, PsyD, LP, LAC, MAC, RN, ACS
Culturally-Informed Treatment: Applying a Social Justice Lens to Addiction Counseling
"Providing an Overview of How to Understand, Appreciate, and Work with Diverse Populations"
DESCRIPTION: Effective counseling starts with understanding a client’s cultural background and communicating in ways that are clear and respectful. In this class, counselors examine their own beliefs and biases in order to help prevent misunderstandings with people from diverse cultures, religions, and social groups. Students are also introduced to the fundamentals of cultural awareness, cultural sensitivity, cultural responsiveness, and cultural humility. Students examine how these essential skills improve care quality and support better treatment outcomes. The training assists students in understanding how factors such as age, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, language, education, physical ability, income level, and racial or ethnic background can shape the counseling experience. By recognizing these differences, counselors learn to turn them into strengths that support the recovery process. Students learn to recognize and respect the beliefs, values, and traditions of a wide range of cultural groups. Key concepts include culture, ethnicity, race, cultural identity, acculturation, assimilation, cultural assumptions, bias, historical trauma, microaggressions, and modern-day prejudice. The National CLAS Standards are also introduced. Through interactive activities, students explore their own values and attitudes and reflect on how their own cultural identity influences their approach as helping professionals. Additionally, this and all addiction counselor classes seek to enhance the ability of the counselor to provide treatment services in a manner that is responsive to gender, racial and ethnic identity, sexual orientation, cultural and familial context, systemic influences, and socioeconomic diversity.

NCPD: DSM-5-TR™ and the Clinical Process
with Ryan Kennedy, PsyD, LP, LAC, LMFT, LPC, ACS
DSM-5-TR™ and the Clinical Process: Effectively Integrating Assessment, Diagnosis, and Intervention Skills into Counseling and Psychotherapy
"Using a Holistic Approach to Gather Data, Establish Meaning, and Develop Coherent Treatment Linked to Theoretical Orientation"
DESCRIPTION: Assessment, diagnosis, and intervention are a set of overlapping and integrated skills referred to as the "Clinical Process" in this dynamic training designed for new and advanced clinicians. Training participants first review the history of the DSM® and the historical contexts, cultural factors, and clinical trends associated with the publication of the DSM-5-TR™. This is then integrated into a broader conversation about the need to locate the DSM-5-TR™ within the larger framework of the clinician's own information-gathering tools, clinical conceptualization skills, and therapeutic application capacities. Themes associated with sociocultural factors, personal identity, and life experience are focal points explored here. In addition, reinforcing the application of ethical decision-making principles and how those relate to case conceptualization and the clinical process is emphasized. The training also reviews important dimensions of using objective assessment tools in clinical practice and provides experiential opportunities to become acquainted with the suite of assessment tools associated with the DSM-5-TR™. Finally, through active practice exercises and group discussion, learners come away from the training with clearer administrative skills designed to support them in often confusing and frustrating necessities of diagnostic coding and insurance billing. Training participants will also have access to the entire suite of assessment tools associated with the DSM-5-TR™ at an additional charge, along with other auxiliary resources.

NCPD: Existential Psychotherapy
with Ryan Kennedy, PsyD, LP, LAC, LMFT, LPC, ACS
Existential Psychotherapy: Working with the Void in Clinical Practice
"Championing, Challenging, and Transcending Life's Ultimate Concerns"
DESCRIPTION: Many counselors focus on assisting clients to develop stronger egos, greater self-esteem, and increased interpersonal connection. Though these are admirable goals; when clients experience trauma, loss, or other threats to identity; they are often left feeling hopeless, without purpose, and struggling to create meaning in their life. Existential thought in psychotherapy provides a foundation to meet clients at this life stage by exploring the four elements of “ultimate concern” that lie under the surface of many of these presenting problems. The four ultimate concerns are: 1) Death, 2) Freedom, 3) Isolation, and 4) Meaninglessness. Learning to identify and work with these themes directly can be a powerful resource for mental health professionals on two levels. First, it can serve as a profound lens that frames and gives nuance to many of the surface issues and concerns that clients bring with them into the consulting room. Second, it can help mental health professionals better understand how to tolerate and relate to the existential anxiety experienced by their clients and by themselves with more choice, responsibility, congruent meaning-making, and effective action.

NCPD: Clinical Supervision Basics (6-Hour Overview for LPCs and Beyond)
with Ryan Kennedy, PsyD, LP, LAC, LMFT, LPC, ACS
Clinical Supervision Basics: An Overview of the Core Capacities
"Highlighting the Seven Key Components of Quality Clinical Supervision - (and Meeting the DORA Requirement for LPC Supervisors Too!"
DESCRIPTION: In many jurisdictions, the only legal requirement for providing clinical supervision is having an active mental health license. Although having a keen set of administrative and counseling skills is an essential aspect of clinical supervision, they are not enough on their own. Clinical supervision is a specialized area within the mental health professions that has its own distinct theories, practices, and models; therefore, high-quality clinical supervisors need to understand and apply these effectively. As more states recognize this necessity, the trend of establishing a two-tiered licensure system that first solely permits professional practice within one’s discipline and then only allows for the advanced practice of clinical supervision after additional requirements have been met is becoming more common.
The Colorado State Board of LPC Examiners moved in this direction in 2020, when they mandated that any LPC licensed by the board providing clinical supervision to LPC candidates needed to complete one of four possible training requirements: (1) complete a minimum of a two-credit-hour graduate course on clinical supervision from a CACREP accredited or equivalent program; (2) complete a minimum of six clock-hours of clinical supervision training in specified content areas; (3) attain Approved Clinical Supervisor™ (ACS) certification from the Center for Credentialing and Education (CCE); or (4) attain a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision from a CACREP accredited or equivalent program or other counseling doctorates that have a supervision component.
This course meets the second option by providing six clock-hours of clinical supervision training in the seven specified content areas, specifically: (a) the role and functions of clinical supervisors; (b) models and methods of clinical supervision; (c) supervisory relationship issues; (d) cultural issues and themes in clinical supervision; (e) group supervision; (f) legal and ethical issues in clinical supervision; and (g) evaluation of supervisee competency and the supervision process. Registration for this course is complimentary and open to all mental health practitioners.
NOTE: This training meets the Colorado State Board of LPC Examiners mandated training requirement for LPC supervisors; It does NOT meet training requirements for the Approved Clinical Supervisor™ (ACS), Certified Addiction Specialist (CAS), or Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) credentials; Licensure candidates and licensed practitioners from other mental health disciplines are welcome to attend, both in or out of Colorado; To learn more about our Clinical Supervision classes for the CAS/LAC, click HERE; To learn more about our Clinical Supervision training series for the ACS, click HERE.

NCPD: ACT and RFT Training
with Ryan Kennedy, PsyD, LP, LAC, LMFT, LPC, ACS
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Relational Frame Theory (RFT) Training: The Art and Science of Cultivating Cognitive Flexibility
"Practices for Opening Up, Staying Aware, and Engaging Purposefully"
DESCRIPTION: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT; pronounced like the word "act") is a mindfulness-based, third-wave cognitive/behavioral therapy developed to guide clients in discovering what truly matters in their lives so they can move more effectively towards those things and away from what doesn’t matter. Based in the philosophy of Functional Contextualism and organized around principles of Relational Frame Theory (RFT), the primary aim of ACT is to increase psychological flexibility, which has been shown to be associated with having a fuller, richer, more meaningful life. ACT cultivates psychological flexibility through experiential practices that strengthen six key, interlacing processes, often referred to as the ACT Hexaflex. These are: 1) Cognitive Defusion; 2) Acceptance; 3) Present Moment Contact; 4) Cultivating Self-as-Context; 4) Values Strengthening; and 6) Taking Committed Action. The good news is that the ACT skills associated with strengthening psychological flexibility through the six processes have been shown to be applicable to many other theoretical orientations and approaches to counseling. This experiential training introduces practitioners to the foundational philosophy of ACT along with the theoretical framework of RFT that supports it. It then provides participants with the opportunity to learn and practice various tools for facilitating clients through the ACT Hexaflex so that they are more open to experience, aware of their choices, and engaged in purposeful action.

Treating Diverse Populations: Tools for Working with Marginalized Groups in the Addiction Treatment Realm
"Culturally-Relevant, Socially-Just Resources for Connecting More Effectively with Clients"
DESCRIPTION: Addiction counselors work to improve people’s lives by identifying and treating the effects of substance abuse disorders. Treating diverse populations provides an in-depth overview of the diverse populations in the addiction treatment continuum of care.
