In October’s Therapist Salon, we used the BRAT framework, worked through two composite cases that reached opposite reporting decisions under the same framework. The focus was documenting reasoning over conclusions, managing records access, and naming the tension between legal duty, client self-determination, and clinician risk management.

In August 2026 Therapist Salon we went beyond liability, and wondered what mandated reporting looks like when self-determination is part of the framework.

In June's Therapist Salon, we explored power, identity, and clinical practice — from decolonizing therapy to navigating a regulatory landscape that doesn't always protect the most vulnerable clients.

At our April 2026 Therapist Salon, we explored the emotional and ethical complexities therapists often carry around money, profit, and sustainability in private practice.

Drawing inspiration from the original 1664 French salons, gatherings Horace described as aiming “either to please or to educate,” this bi-monthly Therapist Salon reimagines a space for meaningful exchange, community, and professional growth. Each session offers continuing education (CE) credits, interactive discussion, and skill-building to support clinicians in navigating isolation, fostering connection, and advancing their practice.

Join Mae Gowda, Earley Barnes-Ullrich, LCSW-S, RPT-S™, ADS, RST, and Colleen Bardelli, MA, LPC-S, LMHC, RPT-S on Friday, February 20th at 10 AM for an honest, grounded conversation about AI in psychotherapy. Together, we’ll explore where AI may support clinical practice, where it raises ethical and relational concerns, and how therapists can engage with these tools thoughtfully rather than reactively. This panel is designed for therapists who feel curious, skeptical, nervous, or all three, and want a space to think critically about the future of care.
