This program will leave attendees with a better understanding of the symptoms, diagnosis, and societal context of eating disorders as well as provide tools and therapeutic interventions for the treatment of eating disorders.

  This Interactive Lecture will touch on the following:
  
  1. Overview of Eating Disorder Diagnoses, signs and symptoms
  2. Challenging eating disorder myths and acknowledging the effects of weight stigma
  3. Considering the larger cultural and societal influences that influence the development of an eating disorder
  - Food trends, Social Media, Racism, Fatphobia
  4. Understanding eating disorders cross-culturally, in marginalized US populations & LGBTQ+ communities
  5. How to screen for eating disorders
  6. Therapeutic tools and interventions for the treatment of eating disorders
  7. Case Studies

  Holistic Approach to Working With Trauma

  Description: 

  Based on Janina Fisher’s work, our presenter will teach a mind-body approach to working with clients who have experienced trauma. She will review basic neurobiology of trauma and the impact of procedural learning as well as how to help clients utilize the window of tolerance. Acknowledging attachment structures, we will discuss how to support clients in recognizing when they are triggered, offering coping strategies to support grounding. With this background, we will engage in a brief role play utilizing body-based coping strategies with clients. We will discuss reframing dysregulated affect in terms of IFS parts, and working with toxic relational styles in counseling, with brief role play and processing of these modalities.

  Supervision Elective: The Stuff No One Talks About

  Second Section Offered Due to Popular Demand! 

  This is a Virtual Workshop on ZOOM. Pre Registration is required.

  This workshop meets CE requirements to renew the MACCS and the MCCS.

  Description: 

  We bring the deepest and most intimate parts of ourselves to this work. Graduate school has all the buzz words for supervision but doesn’t talk about the important things, crying in session with a client, feelings of frustration, social media and , using humor to heal, and using our own therapy. This workshop will focus on using our therapist skills to create the same safe and authentic space in clinical supervision while still holding supervises accountable.

  Objectives: Participants will explore coaching supervisees through therapeutic tools, review person centered approaches to supervision, and access tangible tools to use in supervision.

  About the Presenter: Kelli Fowle, LICSW 

  Kellie owns a group practice and provides consultation to provisional licensees. She has a certification in supervision and post-graduate training from the Providers Council, and in play therapy.

  Gettin' By: Poverty and the Brain

  Description: 

  In this session, participants experience a brief simulation that demonstrates how poverty affects the brain, overwhelming executive function and narrowing focus to immediate needs. This firsthand perspective helps explain why “poor” decisions can make sense under stress.
  
  A debrief then explores the brain science behind these effects in clear, accessible terms—how chronic stress impacts decision-making, physical health, and daily functioning.
  
  Finally, participants learn practical strategies to apply this knowledge in their work. Using evidence-based tools, they discover how to communicate and support clients more effectively when poverty limits time, energy, and mental resources.
  

  Our Presenter: Linda Riddell, MS

  About our presenter:

  Linda Riddell, MS, is an epidemiologist specializing in poverty and brain science communication. She created gettin’ by, an interactive training that helps professionals better understand and support people living in poverty through a realistic simulation of scarcity’s effects on the brain. After five years of testing, she launched the program nationally in 2019 and now presents it at numerous conferences to strong reviews. Linda holds a BA in English from the University of Cincinnati and an MS in Health Policy and Management from the University of Southern Maine, with additional coursework from Johns Hopkins in social epidemiology and biostatistics.

  The Legally Required "What If" Plan: Your comprehensive guide to maintaining a Legal Custodian of Records 

  Live on ZOOM! 

  Did you know that every clinician, even those in private practice, is required, by law, to have an identified Custodian of Records? Do you have a practice policy that outlines how your clients will continue to be served if you experience an unexpected medical emergency? Does your private practice meet the legal requirements for continuity of care? Many LMHCs are not aware of the state regulations and ethical codes of conduct which mandate these orders. If your practice is lacking these vital elements, this working workshop will help you fulfill your legal and client responsibilities to manage unforeseen clinician misfortune proactively. 

  As a working workshop, we will review and create a step-by-step plan of action to fulfill this legal responsibility for regulatory compliance in your private practice. This "what if" workshop will give you the peace of mind that you, and your clients, never knew you legally needed.

  This workshop is for anyone in or planning to open a private practice.  Originally developed by our Founder, Berna Haberman, LMHC #1, and revised and updated by our presenter, Stacey E. Pimentel, retired LMHC, MACCS, this is an invaluable workshop, one that supports risk management.

  Presenter: Stacey E. Pimentel

  Stacey E. Pimentel, retired LMHC, MACCS, is a long-time MaMHCA member, former MaMHCA Board member and co-developer of MaMHCA's incredibly popular Bringing Your Private Practice to Life workshop. She is a subject matter expert in legally required plans of action for LMHCs.

  MaMHCA Supervision Track

  Supervision in Eating Disorder Treatment: Best Practices, Ethics, and Self-Awareness for Clinical Supervisors

  This continuing education presentation is designed for licensed mental health counselors who provide clinical supervision to therapists working with clients struggling with eating disorders. Given the complexity and high-risk nature of eating disorder treatment, effective supervision is essential for ensuring ethical, competent care.
  
  Topics will include strategies for case consultation, managing clinical liability, and integrating evidence-based best practices in the treatment of eating disorders. Special attention will be given to the supervisor’s role in identifying and addressing weight stigma and personal weight bias, which can impact both supervision and clinical outcomes.
  
  Participants will engage in reflective dialogue and skill-building exercises to enhance their ability to support supervisees in navigating the multifaceted challenges of this population, while maintaining their own ethical and professional standards.

  This workshop is approved to fulfill the initial or renewal requirements for the MaMHCA Advanced Certified Clinical Supervisor Credential (MACCS).

  Learning Objectives:

  1: Apply effective case consultation techniques for supervisees treating clients with eating disorders.

  2: Identify key legal and ethical considerations in supervising eating disorder cases.

  3: Recognize and process personal weight bias to foster more inclusive, attuned supervision. 

  MaMHCA Supervisor Training Programs Mission Statement 

  The Mission of the MaMHCA Supervision Training Programs is to provide the highest quality training in supervision theory and practice for LMHC Supervisors. Both the MaMHCA Approved Supervisor Certificate (MaASC) and the advanced MaMHCA Certified Clinical Supervisor (MaCCS) programs will offer continuing education in theory and practice in supervision skills, national and Massachusetts ethical & legal standards for supervision, and the ongoing growth and evolution/development of knowledge, roles and requirements for qualified supervisors.

  Certificate holders will also demonstrate the ability to model appropriate professional skills and behavior, ethical standards, and the ability to actively use concepts learned in the training.

  Lunch and Learn: Substance Abuse and Family Systems

  Description: 

  In service of the Diversity-Informed Tenet that “Self-awareness leads to better services for families” this workshop will support each participant to identify personal layers of internalized bias which can be present in the therapy space when working with children and families. Participants will work independently to create their own cultural genogram and then through small group discussions will identify bias and assumptions stemming from personal ancestral privilege. Participants will practice supporting and challenging each other, collaborating to identify and dismantle the “Cop in the Head.” Upon completion of the session, participants will leave having identified areas for further study and growth to continue their own journey of internal dismantling and decolonization, and with opportunities for further community-building to continue the practice.
