Do they leave you feeling stagnant and burnt out in your practice? Do you work with challenging children, teens and families who seem absolutely resistant to every intervention you offer?

Let Dr. Patricia Isis, international presenter, author, certified mindful self-compassion teacher and board certified registered art therapist help you! Watch this seminar and learn innovative interventions that are guaranteed to help even your most resistant clients become unstuck. This recording will consist of creative, interactive, hands-on training that will re-energize your work.

They will offer you an opportunity to refresh yourself as well!

No art experience is necessary, just an openness to try something creative.
