Qualifications:
Mon/ Thurs 4:15-7pm 5/28/-7/5/2024 Course Description
The aim of this class is to explore the evidence-based practice known as Motivational Interviewing (MI) and its “cousin” the Transtheoretical Theory of Change Model (TTM), also known as the Stages of Change. These new ideas & practices help clinicians to shift from the old problem-centered disease model interventions of treating substance use disorders and behavioral disorders of clients/consumers to ones based in science. These evidence-based practices (EBPs), such as MI, serve as a place of origin when designing interventions - with clients and consumers, not for them.
Required Qualifications:
Knowledge of trauma and its impacts to individuals, families and children. Familiarity and expertise with CBT in therapeutic settings, administered to families, and to individuals, and an awareness of family structure and its impact and influence in response to trauma. LMFT, LFCC, Ph.D., Ed.D, Psy.D
A demonstrated commitment to teaching excellence, multicultural/international competence, social justice, clinical expertise, and familiarity with counseling theory and practice.
