This is one of her highest-ever rated workshops. Participants have consistently said this workshop “changed their practice fundamentally for the better."

Whether you want to learn more about working with a specific personality disorder (e.g., borderline personality disorder), a particular type of impasse (e.g., avoidance, rigidity or angry attacks), or your own reactions (e.g., irritation with a particular client), this workshop is designed to enhance your understanding and skills.

About the Center

The Santa Rosa Center for Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (SRCBT) was co-founded by Jennifer Shannon, MFT and Litsa Tanner, MFT. The mission of the center is to provide state of the art cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for children, teens and adults who struggle with a variety of issues including anxiety disorders, depression, insomnia, habit disorders such as skin picking and trichotillomania, and challenging behaviors in young children. SRCBT is one of the only centers providing Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) in Sonoma County. PCIT is a quick and effective therapy that helps dramatically reduce the occurrence of oppositional, defiant, and aggressive behaviors in children ages 3-6 years old. In addition to providing high quality treatment, SRCBT is also a training facility for clinicians interested in evidence based treatments.
