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
The topic this time will be "The First Session." First impressions matter! Many clinicians argue the first session sets the course for therapy and much of what happens here has critical implications for the success of the therapy. This month's discussion will be on how we approach the first session and what is important to us to accomplish in a first meeting.
Be sure to register early for headcount purposes, and we look forward to seeing you there! Registration closes the morning before the event.
