Description

  • Center your client’s cultural and sociopolitical realities in session
  • Integrate systemic oppression and cultural identity into treatment plans
  • Apply the SEEK framework to enhance effectiveness and deepen impact

 

Too often, case conceptualization is reduced to symptom checklists and diagnoses, overlooking how race, culture, and systemic forces shape client experiences …

… leading to treatment plans that feel impersonal, incomplete, or even harmful to clients from marginalized communities.

That’s why educator and author Dr. Janeé Steele created this dynamic training!

You’ll get a clear framework for centering culture, identity, and social context in your case conceptualizations – allowing you to enhance your treatment planning and drive deeper, more meaningful clinical outcomes.

Dr. Steele’s engaging, hands-on learning style will give you a real world cases and guided exercises to help you learn the innovative SEEK framework and create identify-affirming, culturally responsive conceptualizations that enhance your effectiveness and deepen your clinical impact.

Leave this training with the tools you need to:

  • Recognize how culture, power, and oppression influence client presentation
  • Expand case formulations to include identity, environment, and lived experience
  • Strengthen client engagement  by affirming sociocultural context in treatment planning

Don’t miss this opportunity to strengthen your cultural competence and transform how you conceptualize, connect with, and care for your  clients.
