"Integreating Occupational Therapy into your Counseling
Practice".
Presentation by Leora Salo, OTR/MOT ,
Occupational Therapist.
Occupational therapists use scientific principles to determine areas
of function/dysfunction when designing strategies for intervention. In
mental health, OT's typically treat in groups, from a diverse palette of
group types. Occupational Therapy is an asset in change implementation,
as OT groups offer clients opportunity to practice and integrate new
skills. With approaching guidelines that make occupational therapists a
reimbursable provider of mental health services, the potential to enrich
client services within a practice grows exponentially. This workshops
will present an overall view as to how occupational therapy may
contribute to services in a holistic practice.

Adaptive Strategies Rising from Existential Trauma
presented by James Hollis, Ph.D.
Director Emeritus, Jung Education Center of Houston, TX.
Each human is subject to twin threats to survival and well-being:
overwhelmment and abandonment. From these core experiences, common to us
all in varying degrees, a rich range of adaptive strategies evolve, many
of which become life-long patterns. This program will detail with the
anatomy of such adaptations, and include comments on the ethical risks
to which therapists are subject as they experience these adaptive
patterns in their own lives as well.

disabilities.

Music Therapy Makes a Different
presented by Pam Poole, MT-BC, CPRP, Board Certified Music Therapist,
Certified Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioner
Music Therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music
interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic
relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an
approved music therapy program. (American Music Therapy Association
definition, 2005)
As a Music Therapist I use music to address physical, emotional,
cognitive, and social needs of individuals. As they, (clients) become
involved with music in a therapeutic context; their abilities are
strengthened and transferred to other areas of their lives. An overview
of music therapy will be presented in this workshop showing its
effectiveness with many different populations.
