Please join us for a 4.5 CE Credit workshop on harm reduction techniques, addiction medicine, and methods for supporting friends and family members assisting impacted loved ones

This is an interactive, multi-presenter day of programming for clinicians working with individuals and families with substance use challenges. This workshop will provide the essentials of a harm reduction/mindfulness approach with Jen Levy, Ph.D., how to use addiction and functional medicine with Sonya Lazarevic, MD, and treatment approaches for families and loved ones of those impacted by substance use issues with Nicole Kosanke, Ph.D.

Following an overview of the current status of the addiction treatment field, there will be 3 discussions to follow -

I. "Addressing Addictive Issues from a Harm Reduction Framework": Participants will learn practical skills to work with cravings and reduce risk through guided practices that can be applied in a range of clinical settings.

II. "Conventional and Integrative Approaches in Addiction Psychiatry": The discussion will outline medications prescribed in stages of use, from abstinence to harm reduction, focusing on the most common substances of use.

III. "The Invitation To Change Approach: How to Help a Loved One Change": Participants will learn practical applications within these categories for how clients can take care of themselves while also influencing a loved one in positive ways.

Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy

Founded in 1971, The Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy (ICP) is one of the oldest and largest not-for-profit mental health training and treatment facilities in New York City.

The Institute is composed of a group of over 200 therapists. Most of our therapists have training in psychoanalysis or psychoanalytic psychotherapy through one of ICP’s training programs or an equivalent – some are currently in such training. Many of our therapists have completed their graduate degrees and are licensed while others are earning those degrees or are completing licensing requirements. With the exception of a small number of senior therapists, all clinical work is performed under the supervision of a licensed and experienced professional supervisor.

ICP offers a full range of psychotherapeutic services, including individual and group psychotherapy, and psychoanalysis in addition to more specialized treatment services. ICP is dedicated to providing high quality therapy at low to moderate cost, offering post-graduate training for therapists, and educating the public about mental health issues.

ICP is conveniently located at Columbus Circle at the juncture of the 1, A, B, C, and D trains and the #104, 5, 7, and 11 buses. ICP is dedicated to providing culturally sensitive treatment services to match the diversity of New York City’s residents.
