Therapy Culture/Therapeutic Culture: Expansive Clinical Work in an Age of “Awareness”
America stands in paradox. Mental health awareness has expanded; stigma has softened; “therapy speak” has entered the mainstream. Yet crisis persists—rates of mental illness rise, deaths of despair remain high, and youth concerns intensify. Technology promises access, yet loneliness deepens. Online communities swell with conversation pertaining to mental health, yet real relationships splinter over differences big and small. Something, it seems, is not working. Clinicians can help everyone rethink what a genuinely therapeutic culture might look like.
The Center for Integrative Counseling and Psychology endeavors to be a bridge amidst the paradox, a center for integration. We serve as a hub not only for clinical service, but for rich and reflective training.
Join us for our OLOGY Summer Integration Series, a three-part clinical training exploring:
The series will equip clinicians and helpers to expand the scope of their human impact from three angles. This series will equip clinicians and helpers to:
- Look “beyond the clinical hour”
Use professional practice as a means of social collaboration between different helping institutions (e.g., churches, nonprofits). - Update engagement with “mental health awareness”
Learn to decipher adaptive vs. maladaptive ways folks might wield therapy speak in clinical and cultural contexts. - Situate practice within public life
Reflect on how clinical work intersects with policy, ethics, and broader cultural forces shaping 21st-century care.
SUMMER SCHEDULE
June 12 from 8:30 - 10 am | The Presence and Practice of Collaborative Psychotherapy: Applications of “Beyond the Clinical Hour” 
James Sells, Ph.D., Hughes Endowed Chair of Mental Health and Christian Thought and Co-Director of the Charis Institute, Regent University
Explore the changing landscape of care in a culture where the demand for therapy far exceeds the capacity of licensed clinicians—and where churches, peer specialists, and non-clinical caregivers are increasingly stepping into the gap. Discover why this shift creates unprecedented opportunities for professional therapists, especially those equipped to collaborate meaningfully with faith communities. *1 CEU, $50 registration fee
August 21 from 8:30 am - 10 am | Therapy in the Age of the Algorithm
Katherine Strong Woods, Psy.D., Staff Psychologist, The Center
Mental health conversations are increasingly happening online before clients ever enter the therapy room—shaping how they understand themselves, relationships, and even the therapeutic process itself. This seminar equips clinicians to thoughtfully engage “therapy speak” and social media narratives with clinical wisdom, transforming digital influences into opportunities for deeper insight, collaboration, and meaningful change.
*1 CEU, $50 registration fee
September 25 from 8:30 - Noon
From Awareness to Access: The Gap Between Mental Health Needs and System Capacity
Jennifer Erisime, LCSW-S, Executive Director, Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute-Dallas

Integrative Beneficence: Ethics and Professional Responsibilities Beyond Therapy Culture
Nathaniel R. Strenger, Psy.D., Director of Clinical Advancement, The Center
An advanced ethics presentation exploring therapist influence, responsibility, and the cultural impact of clinical frameworks in modern psychotherapy.
