SUMMARY:Decolonizing Therapy: Power\, Context\, and Healing in Clinical Practice

This training helps bridge that gap. \n\n\nAbout This Training\nModern psychotherapy often emphasizes individual coping strategies while overlooking the broader social\, cultural\, and historical contexts that shape mental health. This training invites clinicians to expand their lens and examine how power\, systems\, identity\, and lived experience influence the therapeutic process.\n\nParticipants will explore how dominant psychological frameworks may unintentionally reinforce systemic inequities and how clinicians can practice in ways that are more context-aware\, culturally responsive\, and ethically grounded.\n\nThrough reflection\, discussion\, and practical application\, clinicians will learn ways to integrate a more expansive understanding of healing that honors both individual experience and social context.\n\nThis training supports clinicians in expanding their clinical lens beyond individual symptoms to include context\, power\, and lived experience.\n\n\nLearning Objectives\nParticipants will be able to:\n\nIdentify how historical and systemic forces influence mental health and clinical practice.\nRecognize ways dominant therapy models may overlook social and cultural context.\nApply more context-aware and culturally responsive approaches within clinical work.\n\n\nWho Should Attend\nThis training is appropriate for:\n\nLicensed therapists\nPre-licensed clinicians\nSocial workers\nCounselors\nMarriage and family therapists\nMental health professionals interested in culturally responsive care\n\n\nWhat You’ll Gain\n\nA broader framework for understanding client experiences beyond individual symptoms\nPractical ways to integrate context and culture into clinical decision-making\nGreater clarity in navigating power\, identity\, and systemic influences in therapy\n\n\nContinuing Education\n\nThis training offers 3 continuing education (CE) clock hours for LPC/LPCC professionals.\nThis activity has been approved by the Minnesota Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy (Approval #2026.CE.138).\nParticipants must attend the full training to receive CE credit.\nOther mental health professionals are welcome to attend; however\, they are responsible for verifying CE acceptance with their respective licensing boards.\nRegistration is confirmed once payment is completed.\nRefunds available up to 7 days prior to the training.\n\nRegister & Pay $150\n\nImportant Information\nAttendance is required for the full duration of the training to receive CE credit.\nVirtual participants will receive the Zoom link via email prior to the training.\nIn-person space is limited to 20 participants.Facilitated by\,\n\n_\nMaria K.
