The way we operate as mental health practitioners, healer, and helpers may be changed forever as a result of the COVID pandemic. Many practice issues that we have never dealt with before are now in the pipeline, waiting to present themselves.

This webinar offers strategies, tips, and ideas to help your small business survive, strengthen and even thrive amid this new reality.

Lynn Grodzki has coached tens of thousands of therapists over three decades, showing them how to build ideal practices in good times and bad. For this webinar, Lynn takes participants through a 4-step crisis-proofing process to help you stay grounded, minimize risk, retain control, and enhance prospects with their practice. She also shares strategies, ideas, tips, and real-time coaching specifics for dealing with COVID-related challenges.

This webinar will help you make thoughtful choices about your business, including how to:

Take an honest inventory. Review the essentials in your practice—its strengths and weaknesses, assets and liabilities—so that any changes you make will be aligned with the reality of your business as it is now.
Triage for crisis management. Assess your critical issues and know what to do right now, versus what can wait.
Check your positioning. Recognize the best strategies to maintain, grow, or redirect your business. Prepare to recommit, rebrand, or reinvest in your practice so that it is stronger and more secure.
See the opportunities inherent in the COVID crisis. There is always a silver lining in every downturn. Consider some emerging options and ideas that can be beneficial over time.

You will learn how to:

Review the data within your private practice as a precursor for future decision-making.
Assess critical practice issues using a 3-step triage process.
Recommit, rebrand, or reinvest in your practice, based on your future goals.
Recognize potential opportunities and how other practitioners are looking at options during this serious time.

Dr. Fletcher’s Ethical Private Practice course was informative, engaging, and highly relevant to the realities of private practice. She is clearly knowledgeable and presents the material in a practical, approachable way. I’ve already made changes in my own practice based on what I learned in the course. I would recommend it to therapists in private practice.

“Attended Carrie Traher's course, 'Grief and Trauma in Clinical Practice: Tools & Strategies for Evidence-Based Care' through Leading Edge Seminars. Carrie's delivery, was masterful; you could feel what it might be like to be in session with her helping someone stuck in their Grief... she certainly helped me understand mine on a whole new level. This inforation provided was a clear, evidence-based framework for working confidently and compassionately with clients whose grief is intertwined with trauma. I cannot recommend this training highly enough, it's a game changer!”

I have attended Leading Edge programs for years. The topics are creative and the trainers are usually extremely skilled or they do not have them back again!! Never disappointed.

I have attended Leading Edge Seminars for many years for continuing education related to understanding and treating patients with mental health problems. High quality experienced speakers addressing a wide variety of timely topics are available live or recorded for reasonable prices. Their courses are accredited with major professional organizations. Most recently, I found a presentation by Robert Solomon: Legal Issues In Counselling to be excellent. In my opinion it would be of value for training new clinicians as well as updating practicing mental health professionals. Pertinent legal topics such as Consent, Capacity, Substitute Consent, and Negligence were clearly addressed with updated information, excellent references and adequate opportunity to ask questions. Very well done; very interesting. I do not hesitate to recommend Leading Edge Seminars to physicians, social workers and other professionals who deal with mental health issues in their practices.

Just attended: Navigating Retirement for Therapists with Integrity and Compassion" with Lynn Grodzki and Margaret Wehrenberg. It was very informative, pertinent and insightful. As usual, a workshop on the 'leading edge' of developments in our field.

So glad I attended the Retirement workshop with Leading Edge! The presenter's conceptualization of the process combining Stages of Change with Attachment Theory was a highly useful lens. It helped to place me solidly in Preparation for retirement which felt grounding. It will be very helpful to consider not only my client's attachment style, but my own as well. Also, new was to consider this termination process as a "forced" ending for clients. I thought of it like someone going though a break-up but it not being their idea. I also got some helpful ideas about what to add to my Professional will. Thank you!

I just attended Deb Dana's course, 'Polyvagal Theory in Clinical Practice: Healing Trauma Through Nervous System Regulation' through Leading Edge Seminars. Deb has brought into the therapy room the insights and understanding of our nervous system from the scientific work of Stephen Porges (Polyvagal Theory). It is another wonderful way to help guide clients out of survival-driven patterns and into states of safety and engagement. I highly recommend this course and anything that Deb Dana puts out to the world!

“I just attended Adrian Fletcher's course'Dissociative Identity Disorder in Clinical Practice: A Trauma-Informed Guide for Mental Health Professionals' through Leading Edge Seminars. The insights into how to build a more accurate, compassionate, and trauma-informed understanding of DID in my practice together with her own lived experience through diagnosis and therapy really deepened my competency in trauma-informed care. I highly recommend this course!”
