  Workshop Description

  
  How Do Therapists Integrate in the Divorce or Legal Separation Process? 

  Therapists are critical in the divorce or legal separation process as they often provide support for individual contemplating or experiencing a divorce or legal separation. In addition, they can provide support for the entire family in creating or preparing their Parenting Plan, often engaging with the children to ensure their voices are heard through neutral ears.

  In this presentation, therapists will hear about the various ways, in addition to mediation, to be divorced or legally separated, with insight that can be shared with clients to help them find the healthiest path. 
  

  Presenter Melinda Levy, Esq.

  Melinda Levy is a neutral attorney mediator, specializing in divorce and co-parenting mediation. Melinda left her corporate career to dedicate her practice to helping families navigate the tricky waters of divorce in a more peaceful manner.

  Build skills for insightful case conceptualization

  The Adaptive Information Processing System in Clinical Conceptualization

  Presented by Kenya Rocha, LMHC

  2 CEs available

  Free for Marin CAMFT members and RECAMFT reciprocal chapter members!

  Registration for this "live" training does not include access to a recording. Please read the full event description for all registration terms including refund policy.

  PLEASE NOTE: After you sign up here, you'll be sent instructions on how to complete a separate registration step with Zoom, which is how you will get your Zoom link. You can do that in advance, or right before the meeting begins. This lets us more accurately track attendance in the Zoom meeting for our compliance purposes as a CE provider.

  
  

  Workshop Description

  
  Effective case conceptualization is at the heart of strong clinical work, yet many therapists struggle with weaving together complex client histories, affect regulation patterns, cultural influences, and self-beliefs into a clear treatment framework.
  
  This 2-hour training introduces participants to the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model as a practical lens for deepening clinical clarity from the very first session. Through focused teaching and case-based discussion, clinicians will learn how to integrate AIP theory into the intake process to identify key self-beliefs, cultural influences, and affect management strategies that shape client functioning. Special attention will be given to understanding how cultural differences, marginalized identities, and systemic oppression can disrupt adaptive information processing and contribute to client symptoms.
  
  Participants will explore how these elements interact within the AIP framework and discover ways to use intake information more effectively to guide treatment planning. By the end of the presentation, attendees will leave with a concrete, AIP-informed strategy to enhance intake, sharpen case conceptualization, and strengthen the clinical decision-making process.
  
  

  Educational Goals

  Participants will learn to recognize affect regulation patterns, self-beliefs, and developmental influences, while also considering how cultural differences, marginalized identities, and systemic oppression shape client functioning. The training highlights how AIP-informed strategies help clinicians use intake information to clarify treatment planning and guide clients toward therapeutic resolution. Attendees will leave with a practical approach they can apply immediately to enhance intake, sharpen case conceptualization, and support lasting healing and improved functioning.
  
  
  

  Learning Objectives

  Upon completion of this workshop, participants should be able to:
  

  1. Explain the core principles of Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) theory and their relevance for case conceptualization.
  2. Apply AIP-informed strategies to the intake process to strengthen clinical clarity and treatment planning.
  3. Identify how cultural differences, marginalized identities, and systemic oppression can disrupt adaptive information processing
