    Who We Are

    The SGV-CAMFT Dream Circle is a focused and intimate gathering designed for therapists to explore the significance of dreams. Led by experienced facilitator Kathryn Bikle, this recurring group offers a space to learn practical techniques for understanding dream imagery and applying those insights to navigate personal and professional challenges.

    As a part of the SGV-CAMFT community offerings, the Dream Circle provides a unique opportunity for members and non-members alike to delve into the subconscious in a supportive environment, fostering self-discovery and a deeper understanding of the psyche. With its limited size, the group encourages connection and a more personalized experience in unraveling the mysteries held within our dreams.

    What to Expect

    You can expect an insightful exploration into the realm of dreams with the San Gabriel Valley CAMFT Dream Circle. Led by Kathryn Bikle, a seasoned Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Dream Circle groups offer a deep dive into how dream work can enrich your therapeutic approach or personal understanding of your inner landscape.

    Kathryn also brings valuable expertise as a Somatic Experiencing® Trauma Practitioner, Certified Labyrinth Facilitator and BodyDreaming® Practitioner. She is sensitive to the body's role in processing experiences and has a holistic and symbolic approach to inner exploration, and she brings this sensitive, holistic, and symbolic approach to her work as facilitator of the SGV-CAMFT Dream Circle.

    When We Meet

    The Dream Circle meets on the fourth Saturday of the month in Monrovia.

    About This Meet-Up

    Curious about how to work with dreams in your therapy practice? Or maybe you’re just interested in working with dreams for your own personal growth and enjoyment?

    Join BodyDreaming Facilitator Kathryn Bikle, LMFT to explore how dreams enhance our understanding of what is going on in the psyche and how to work with these images to derive meaning from them in a way that helps you navigate issues from your past and current life!

    Who We Are

    Curious Clinician is an in-depth discussion group for associate and licensed therapists to explore topics that we in encounter in our work together.

    What to Expect

    At the SGV-CAMFT Curious Clinician Groups you can expect a casual, interesting conversation with other therapists about topics that we encounter in our work together. When you leave a Curious Clinician group, we hope you have felt inspired and have made a friend.

    When We Meet

    SGV-CAMFT is now offering two Curious Clinician discussion groups every month. One meeting is held every second Sunday of the month in Glendora, CA with facilitator Joe Hovemeyer, LMFT. The second monthly meeting is hosted by Michael Mann, LMFT and gathers every fourth Sunday in Pasadena, CA.

    About This Meet-Up

    Our topic this month will be "Therapy Talk." With the rise of mental health influencers on social media and younger generations embracing the importance of mental health there has also been a shift in language that people use. What have you noticed about clients’ use of terms such as trauma, self-care, toxic, etc.? How has this widespread adoption of psychological terms been helpful? How has it been harmful? Are people using therapy techniques and strategies in manipulative ways? How do we use psycho-lingo in our own practice? We’ll explore this together!

    Space is limited, so be sure to register early! We look forward to seeing you there! Registration closes the morning before the event.
