Topics for Discussion:

Breakout #1: EMDR vs ART
Presenters: Kayla Wirth, LCSW & Samantha Crean, LPC
Learn how EMDR and ART therapies compare—explore their similarities, differences, and how to use each effectively in practice.

Breakout #2: Medications Demystified
Presenter: Chen Zhou, MD
Medications can make or break progress in therapy—but do you really know when they’re needed, how to explain them to clients, or what side effects to watch for? In this session, Dr. Zhou gives therapists the tools to confidently navigate the medication conversation, understand its impact on treatment outcomes, and better support clients who may need more than just therapy.

Breakout #3: Sleep Supporting Strategies for the Therapist Who Works Late
Presenter: Kasryn Kapp, LPC
Learn body-based approaches to improve your sleep, support your circadian rhythm, and help you rest well, even if you work late.

Cost: While this event is free, we kindly ask for a $5 tax-deductible donation to help offset platform costs.
