  Supervision in Eating Disorder Treatment: Best Practices, Ethics, and Self-Awareness for Clinical Supervisors

  This continuing education presentation is designed for licensed mental health counselors who provide clinical supervision to therapists working with clients struggling with eating disorders. Given the complexity and high-risk nature of eating disorder treatment, effective supervision is essential for ensuring ethical, competent care.
  
  Topics will include strategies for case consultation, managing clinical liability, and integrating evidence-based best practices in the treatment of eating disorders. Special attention will be given to the supervisor’s role in identifying and addressing weight stigma and personal weight bias, which can impact both supervision and clinical outcomes.
  
  Participants will engage in reflective dialogue and skill-building exercises to enhance their ability to support supervisees in navigating the multifaceted challenges of this population, while maintaining their own ethical and professional standards.

  This workshop is approved to fulfill the initial or renewal requirements for the MaMHCA Advanced Certified Clinical Supervisor Credential (MACCS).

  Learning Objectives:

  1: Apply effective case consultation techniques for supervisees treating clients with eating disorders.

  2: Identify key legal and ethical considerations in supervising eating disorder cases.

  3: Recognize and process personal weight bias to foster more inclusive, attuned supervision.

  The Legally Required "What If" Plan: Your comprehensive guide to maintaining a Legal Custodian of Records 

  Live on ZOOM! 

  Did you know that every clinician, even those in private practice, is required, by law, to have an identified Custodian of Records? Do you have a practice policy that outlines how your clients will continue to be served if you experience an unexpected medical emergency? Does your private practice meet the legal requirements for continuity of care? Many LMHCs are not aware of the state regulations and ethical codes of conduct which mandate these orders. If your practice is lacking these vital elements, this working workshop will help you fulfill your legal and client responsibilities to manage unforeseen clinician misfortune proactively. 

  As a working workshop, we will review and create a step-by-step plan of action to fulfill this legal responsibility for regulatory compliance in your private practice. This "what if" workshop will give you the peace of mind that you, and your clients, never knew you legally needed.

  This workshop is for anyone in or planning to open a private practice.  Originally developed by our Founder, Berna Haberman, LMHC #1, and revised and updated by our presenter, Stacey E. Pimentel, LMHC, MACCS, this is an invaluable workshop, one that supports risk management.

  Presenter: Stacey E. Pimentel, LMHC, MACCS

  Stacey E. Pimentel, LMHC, MACCS, is a long-time MaMHCA member, former MaMHCA Board member and co-developer of MaMHCA's incredibly popular Bringing Your Private Practice to Life workshop.

  Queering the Clinical Space:

  Affirming Practices for LGBTQIA2S+ Clients

  New workshop

  Live on Zoom

  [MaMHCA does not maintain waiting lists. Once the seat limit set by the presenter is met, this workshop registration will close.]

  This interactive clinical workshop equips mental health professionals with affirming strategies to support LGBTQIA2S+ clients, especially those navigating racial, cultural, and gender-based marginalization. Participants will explore identity development, trauma-informed care, and intersectional clinical practices rooted in liberation and belonging. Case studies, practical tools, and current research will guide clinicians in creating safer, braver therapeutic spaces.

  Presenter: Craig C. Aarons-Martin

  Craig C. Martin is an award-winning educator, principal, and nationally recognized leader in culturally responsive and equity-centered professional development. He has provided high-impact PD sessions to thousands of educators across the country on topics including culturally affirming mental health, trauma-informed SEL, and healing-centered engagement practices—particularly as they intersect with LGBTQ+ and BIPOC identities. As the founder of CCM Education Group and a former urban school leader, Craig blends clinical relevance with lived experience, equity research, and storytelling.

  How can clinicians ensure that LGBTQIA2S+ clients feel not only seen—but deeply affirmed—in therapy? This engaging session invites mental health professionals to move beyond tolerance and toward transformative care. Rooted in cultural humility and trauma-informed principles, this workshop explores the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and power. Through case examples, resource sharing, and reflection, participants will gain tools to disrupt bias in clinical settings and center healing for LGBTQIA2S+ clients—especially youth, BIPOC individuals, and trans/gender expansive people. Participants will leave with concrete strategies for advocacy, clinical documentation, and therapeutic alliance building that supports identity pride and emotional wellness.

  Learning Goals:

  1: Describe key identity development models relevant to LGBTQIA2S+ clients.

  2: Evaluate strategies for building therapeutic alliances with trans and queer clients, especially those with multiple marginalized identities.

  3: Demonstrate techniques for creating affirming treatment plans and documentation that support LGBTQIA2S+ wellness.
