Harm Reduction Psychotherapy for Substance Use and Other Addictive Behaviors

  • Live Zoom Webinar Hosted by Rutger's GSAPP (map)

Join me for a live training presenting a compassionate, non-judgmental framework for treating clients navigating active substance use and addictive behaviors. Moving beyond abstinence-only models, harm reduction equips clinicians to support client-directed goals— abstinence, moderation, or safer use— while honoring client autonomy and empowering them to make positive changes.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Holistic Treatment: Strategies to address co-occurring complexities, including trauma, relationship difficulties, and mood or anxiety disorders.

  • Evidence-Informed Care: Techniques to strengthen the therapeutic alliance and collaboratively foster sustainable change.

  • Practical Toolkit: Actionable skills to integrate mindfulness practices and teach self-regulation techniques that support harm reduction goals.

Continuing Education & Attendance Details:

  • CE Credits Available: 3 CE credits are offered through Rutgers GSAPP for eligible licensed professionals.

  • Target Audience: This intermediate-level workshop is designed for psychologists, licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), licensed professional counselors (LPCs), marriage and family therapists (LMFTs), and other mental health professionals or substance use counselors looking to deepen their trauma-informed, client-centered clinical toolkits.
