Who We Are
Curious Clinician is an in-depth discussion group for associate and licensed therapists to explore topics that we in encounter in our work together.
What to Expect
At the SGV-CAMFT Curious Clinician Groups you can expect a casual, interesting conversation with other therapists about topics that we encounter in our work together. When you leave a Curious Clinician group, we hope you have felt inspired and have made a friend.
When We Meet
SGV-CAMFT is now offering two Curious Clinician discussion groups every month. One meeting is held every second Sunday of the month in Glendora, CA with facilitator Joe Hovemeyer, LMFT. The second monthly meeting is hosted by Michael Mann, LMFT and gathers every fourth Sunday in Pasadena, CA.
About This Meet-Up
Our topic this month will be "Therapy Talk." With the rise of mental health influencers on social media and younger generations embracing the importance of mental health there has also been a shift in language that people use. What have you noticed about clients’ use of terms such as trauma, self-care, toxic, etc.? How has this widespread adoption of psychological terms been helpful? How has it been harmful? Are people using therapy techniques and strategies in manipulative ways? How do we use psycho-lingo in our own practice? We’ll explore this together!
Space is limited, so be sure to register early! We look forward to seeing you there! Registration closes the morning before the event.
