Group Experience with Kathy Davis, LMSW, at Excel 10 hours total (meets NAU's CACREP requirement for "group experience") 2 Saturdays, Aug 2nd and 9th, 5 hours each.
Topic will be personal growth and self-awareness, with something along the lines of "Counselor Self Presentation with Clients as a Part of Empathy." As a possible central theme....
Ms. Davis, says, "In my experience, one of the issues that offend clients is the way professionals interact with them. Often staff are not aware of how they present themselves and so, convey emotions not supportive of an atmosphere of empathy." Kathy Davis can be contacted via emailed at kdavis@excelgroup.org
