| Mon, Feb 7 - Mon, Apr 4. | Adolescent Art Therapy Group, 9704608458 The group will focus on building positive coping strategies, practicing social skills, and creating a community of support for kids going through early adolescence. We approach these goals from an interpersonal and artistic perspective, completing art activities that address different issues each week. This group is designed for preteens who have a creative spirit and may be struggling with social skills, loneliness, depression, and anxiety. The point of this group is to learn about social emotional functioning, all while making friends and art along the way! The group is offered virtually so anyone in Colorado can participate without needing to worry about commuting or covid concerns. I will be hosting virtual group meetings on Mondays from 4pm-5:30pm beginning on February 7th. Sessions are $45 per group for 8 weeks. Kids age 11 and up can be considered for the group.

The last half hour of the session is for Q & A. (This webinar is a repeat of the webinar given in October 2021. Technical difficulties excluded some from the presentation. Due to the 50 or so people who were able to attend finding it very useful, Betty and Robyn are offering it again.)

| Sat, Feb 19 - Sat, Apr 23. | Somatic-Concentric Sex Therapy Training For Students & Professionals, 7203459144 Sexuality is a complex and highly socialized aspect of being a fully social, vibrant, and creative human being. Those who are at home in their body and their sexuality tend to be more confident and expressive about their desires and boundaries. They are also more likely to see body changes or sexual issues as opportunities for deeper learning and personal growth, instead of devastating self-confidence or their relationships. Where do we begin to build such personal awareness and confidence? Our clients are bombarded by so many sex- and body-negative messages from cultural, familiar, and religious sources that it is hard to know where to begin! This online course offers an integrated, socially-just, and trauma-informed method to support your client's sexual and intimate lives. With the foundation of Sex Therapy with Somatic Psychotherapy and Dance/Movement Therapy, this method traverses the many layers of the self. Participants will learn to evaluate the relationship between the somatic self and all the important social arenas that influence how we inhabit and express ourselves. This body-based journey will show you how to integrate the exciting and easeful aspects of sexuality with the unconscious and fractured aspects, allowing for an integrative exploration and discovery of a whole-bodied erotic self. Meet your instructors! Lead instructor: Melissa Walker & Assistant instructor: Anna Mayer Over 3 weekends and 3 zoom consultation groups in between, you will learn how to Learn More... |

Have you found during the pandemic that you actually like working online? Then you might want to consider adding existential coaching to your professional repertoire. Unlike therapy, which is limited by state laws, coaching can be done across state lines or actually anywhere in the world. This class will help you retool some of your existing knowledge for coaching. Since existential therapy is already attuned to life issues, this is a transition that is easier to make than the transition from more medical-model approaches. But there are some important differences between coaching and therapy. You will learn to use specific existential coaching interventions with individuals, couples, and groups or organizations. Since the coaching relationship tends to be more egalitarian than the therapy relationship, there will be plenty of room for creativity for both client and therapist. The training is both didactic and experiential. We will talk about principles and techniques, demonstrate them, introduce experiential exercises, and ask you to practice with each other and/or practice clients outside of class. Participants who complete the class will receive a 48-hour Certificate of Study in Applied Existential Coaching.
