Description

Many clinical settings are experiencing shortages in staff. Despite these shortages, treatment programs must still do their best to meet the needs of those they serve. At times, treatment teams may be prevented from matching all clients to counselors of a requested gender. This webinar will discuss ways to support clients of different genders while also allowing counselors to use appropriate clinical strategies to navigate potential roadblocks related to gender.

Presenters

Fredrick Dombrowski, PhD, LMHC, MAC, CASAC, has worked as a clinician in the field of co-occurring disorders since 1998. Dombrowski has used evidence based practices in varying forms of treatment (CBT for gender dysphoria and chronic pain, DBT for personality disorders, MI for substance use treatment). He has experience as a supervisor and director for multiple programs including inpatient, outpatient, and forensic treatment. As an educator, Dombrowski is focused on experiential learning through a perspective of cultural humility and an equitable approach to clinical care. As a supervisor, Dombrowski remains focused on improvement of clinical care through supervision dedicated to evidence based practices.

Tara Matthews, PhD, LPC, MAC, is an educator, integrative health coach, clinical supervisor, and therapist. She works with clients who are living with co-occurring disorders and students who seek to learn more about addiction psychology.
