This year, in an effort to ensure that everyone who wants to take the training can, even if they cannot travel to New York, we will be offering the CBT Foundational virtually. Those who choose to take the training through our virtual portal will receive all the same material, small group practice sessions, and the same one-to-one experience thanks to our facilitators. This intensive 5-day training program, now in it’s the seventh year, was created by Dr. Lata K. McGinn in response to multiple requests from clinicians who often learn Cognitive Behavioral Therapy through self-study or workshops and are looking to increase their ability to apply CBT concepts and strategies in their current practices. Upon completion of the workshop, attendees will have received the required hours of training in cognitive behavior therapy necessary to apply to become a Certified Diplomate through the Academy of Cognitive Therapy. Clinicians also have the valuable opportunity to receive ongoing consultation following the training.
Topics: The training will cover a range of strategies, foundational to advanced, including: - Creating a CBT case conceptualization with the client’s participation to produce meaningful treatment plans and guide therapeutic interventions - Defining behavioral targets with precision and measuring treatment outcomes - Utilizing specific cognitive and behavioral strategies, including psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, exposure and response prevention, skills training and more - Using CBT with couples, parents, and children/adolescents This Workshop is For: mental health professionals and students interested in building and deepening their understanding of CBT principles in practice. 33 Continuing Education Credit Hours will be offered for this training to NY Social Workers and all Psychologists.
