    FACILITATOR

    Dr. Jimmy Huynh, LMFT

    Who We Are

    We are a group for pre-licensed therapists, newly licensed therapists, and therapists transitioning professional settings who are committed to growing our clinical skills, deepening our professional knowledge, and building confidence in the therapy room. This group is facilitated by a licensed clinician who provides guidance, structure, and practical tools to help you thrive in your early career.

    What to Expect

    In this collaborative space, you’ll learn and share hands-on strategies and practice essential therapeutic interventions. Each session focuses on expanding your clinical “toolbox” with effective techniques, creative approaches, and real-world applications. You can expect fun, collaborative discussions, resource sharing, and a safe environment to ask questions, demonstrate interventions, and celebrate your growth as a clinician.

    This is not a case consultation group but a brainstorming group to share our favorite interventions, ice-breakers, worksheets, and resources to expand our skillsets.

    When We Meet

    The Clinical Toolbox Roundtable will meet 1-2x a month, virtually on Tuesdays at 6:15pm (6:00pm check-in).

    About This Meet-Up

    Our topic this month will be "Finding joy and creativity in therapy interventions." Our meetup this month will be a continuation of October's topic discussing favorite interventions, sharing moments of creativity and joy from past therapy experiences, and we may begin to outline our toolbox as a self-inventory of what skills and interventions we've learned along the way.

    Registration is limited to 10 people, with a waitlist opportunity, so be sure to register early. We look forward to seeing you there! Registration closes the evening before the event.
