About the event
Presented by Jorge Fernandez, LCSW, and Alex Solomon, LCSW LICSW
Offered in person and live online via Zoom
This presentation draws from best practice principles stemming from DBT, CBT, trauma-informed and
trauma-focused therapies, pharmacological treatment, substance abuse treatment, and eating disorder
treatment; which, along with guiding mental health practitioners in examining their own biases, fears, and
ability to coregulate with client, can form the basis of increasing the practitioner’s capacity and competence
in working with acute mental health presentations in the outpatient setting. Ethical implications of working
with this population are explored.
Objectives:Â
1. Increase therapist comfort and confidence in working with clients who present with acute, higher-risk
symptoms in an outpatient setting
2. Identify existing therapist skills which support working with higher acuity/higher risk clients
3. Increase therapist competence in identifying if and when additional outside supports are needed
4. Identify specific factors in case conceptualization, including internal and external strengths,
organizational obstacles, and barriers to engagement, in treatment
5. Identify concrete skills to better utilize therapist-as-self and self-regulation skills in order to effectively
manage symptoms in an outpatient setting
