2 OACCPP 36th Annual Conference & AGM Welcome from the OACCPP President Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the Board of Directors and, as President of the Ontario Association of Consultants, Counsellors, Psychometrists, and Psychotherapists (OACCPP), I am pleased to invite you to the 2014 OACCPP Annual Conference and AGM. The Board, through its Professional Development Committee, is confident that you will have a meaningful experience at this year s conference in Toronto. The Chair of the Professional Development Committee, Antoine Quenneville, will give you an insight into this year s workshops and the professional expertise of the speakers; so I will not repeat those details. As you will distinguish from the list of presenters and workshops, an outstanding group of speakers have agreed to present at this year s event. The presentations of the speakers, I am confident, will help you to further expand your professional knowledge, as well as, provide opportunities for sharing concepts, insights, and advances in the field. I commend the Professional Development Committee for bringing in a unique group of presenters to meet the diverse needs of our OACCPP members. Nevertheless, the Committee continues to look to your suggestions and feedback to provide speakers and sessions for the future; which will be of interest to all members. I would like to thank Antoine Quenneville and his committee for their hard work and commitment. Additionally, Naseema Siddiqui, Past President, for her invaluable contribution and Carly Hackert, our Communications and Professional Development Manager for the design of this year s brochure, and Carol Cox, our Administrative Director, and Kamil Devonish, Membership Coordinator, for their organizational support. Certainly and most importantly, I thank you, the delegates for making this event possible. I look forward to meeting as many of you as I can and I hope that you have a pleasurable, enlightening, and beneficial time at this year s conference in Toronto. See you at the Conference, James Whetstone, M.A. (C) OACCPP, CDRS President

3 OACCPP 36th Annual Conference & AGM Welcome from the Chair, Professional Development Committee Welcome to Exploring Life s Landscapes. To start our explorations off on the right foot, we invited Alexandra Fortier of Compassion Fatigue Solutions to lead us through a Self Care Mini Retreat for our pre-conference workshop Thursday night. She will share with us self-care tools and techniques in the hopes of starting us off on our journey refreshed with the tools to maintain our stamina as we voyage through life, even with the particularly challenging terrain our professions sometimes throw before us. Our main speaker for this year s conference is Dr. Zindel Segal, author of The Mindful Way Through Depression. Dr. Segal has helped thousands of men and women struggling with the morass of depression and anxiety pull themselves through using Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) as a guide rope. Our other full day speaker is Danielle Sauvé who comes to us from the wild twin city of Montreal and will be presenting an overview of Schema Therapy, a comprehensive and useful way to map personality styles so that we can better make sense of the territory before us. Friday morning we have Deborah Headley, an OACCPP member and Toronto local, presenting on Cross Cultural Competencies; how to travel into unfamiliar territory without falling into major pitfalls or dead ends. Stephen Douglas, a past chair of this committee and former board member of OACCPP, will present on Co-Empowerment; how to keep yourself and your travelling companions strong on your explorations. Meanwhile, Kersti Abawi will be sharing her insights on how to stretch our resources without losing our way in her presentation on the intersection between yoga and psychotherapy. Friday afternoon has us traveling to some darker aspects of life. Deborah Moskovitch shares with us how to navigate the turbulent rapids of divorce, or coaching others through these rough waters, without being pulled in to the undertow. Dr. Stephen Fleming will help us guide those wandering through the dark forest of despair and grief due to loss of a loved one. And to round out the day, we have Dr. David Teplin, who will share with us the effective use of the diagnostic maps and therapy navigation tools of the DSM, specifically the diagnosis and treatment of personality disorders. Saturday morning, Kevin Toyne, a lawyer with the law firm of Brauti, Thorning and Zibarras or BTZ Lawyers, has agreed to teach us how to keep ourselves safe should we head into the dangerous arena of the courtroom or how to avoid this dangerous territory altogether in his presentation on legal issues related to psychotherapy and expert testimony. This will be followed by an overview of new developments as we prepare to enter the era of the College of Psychotherapists a destination which we have been marching towards for what seems years now and like a mirage seems to constantly retreat on the horizon. No safari is of course the work of one person alone. I would like to thank my fellow Professional Development Committee members: Mike Solby, Elizabeth Human, Shelley Pomerantz and Jane Wilders as well as our support staff Carly Hackert, Carol Cox and Kamil Devonish. Together we welcome you to join us on our explorations and look forward to our journey together. May it be a happy adventure. Antoine Quenneville Chair, Professional Development Committee

6 OACCPP 36th Annual Conference & AGM Kersti Abawi, M.A., RYT Presenter & Description Kersti Abawi has an M.A. in Counselling Psychology and has been a psychotherapist for over 20 years. She worked as a clinician and supervisor at Halton Adolescent Support Services and Peel Children s Centre, and for Sheppell-FGI, a national EAP. She has co-lead groups for sex offenders, survivors, persons struggling with eating disorders, and parents. Currently Kersti s office is at The Bear Clinic in Oakville, ON, where she offers psychotherapy, EMDR, individual yoga, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) programs, and Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy. Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy (PRYT) is a therapeutic mind/body process which uses the body and breath as vehicles for deep, mindful, self-awareness. A PRYT therapist uses physically supported yoga postures, presence, and non-directive, open-ended dialogue as tools to serve as witness to the client s experience of him/herself. A PRYT session is one of being witnessed in a non-judgemental way, with unconditional positive regard. It is the experience of being present and witnessing oneself as well. Yoga is a complete science, with the potential for experiencing deep shifts in our whole being, not just our bodies. Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy incorporates yoga to support clients in releasing physical tension that is often connected to some kind or emotional, mental, or spiritual release as well. Many people get in touch with a deeper part of themselves that reflects their inner wisdom, becoming aware of previously hidden aspects of themselves. Awareness of these parts of themselves often gives people the courage to face self-limiting beliefs and fears, and in so doing creates long-lasting and profound positive change. Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy was developed by Micheal Lee, M.A., yogi, yoga teacher and researcher on the therapeutic benefits of yoga, while he lived and worked at the Kripalu Centre for Yoga and Health in Massaachusetts in the 1980 s. He continues to be an integral part of the PRYT training program, which continues to evolve. Stephen Douglas, M.A., (C) OACCPP Stephen Douglas has provided therapeutic support for individuals, couples, and families for over twenty years as a family counsellor and psychotherapist. He has integrated holistic principles of well-being into traditional approaches to psychotherapy - Gestalt Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative and Satir Family Systems - to offer an effective model of change for clients who have emotional or relationship blocks leading to depression, anxiety, and chronic anger. Stephen has also worked extensively in the field of family conflict, including groups for clients who are violent in their intimate relationships as well as family members who have been or have witnessed abuse. With a background in psychodrama and health awareness campaigns, he facilitates workshops within both community and organizational settings to help foster self-awareness, healthy connection and communication. Stephen is a Certified Member of the Ontario Association of Consultants, Counsellors, Psychometrists, and Psychotherapists (OACCPP). He has served as a Board Member of the OACCPP and the Chair of the Professional Development Committee. His articles have been published in Psychologica, the Gestalt Journal, the B.C. Counsellor, and Humanist Perspectives and he has previously presented before the BC/Yukon Society of Transition Houses, the BC Association of Social Workers, the Adler Institute, the TAPE/Adler School, the Victorian Order of Nurses, Dalton & Associates, Hamilton Police Service, Special Investigations Unit, and the OACCPP. Introducing Co-Empowerment into the Therapeutic Alliance The therapeutic alliance is the collaborative aspect of the relationship between therapist and client(s) that forms the basis for treatment. This workshop shall describe how introducing Co-empowerment as an explicit goal can benefit the client(s) and increase the effectiveness of relational psychotherapy. Co-empowerment as a basis for interpersonal relationship transcends, and consequently can be integrated into, a range of models of psychotherapy including Narrative, CBT, Object Relations, and Gestalt therapies that explicitly recognize the impact of a client s self-schema in relationship to the other. The history of the principles of co-empowerment (vs codendency) rooted in the tradition of Transactional Analysis will be described and workshop participants will gain an understanding of how to introduce these principles into the therapeutic relationship itself, with examples and discussion of how it can then be applied to individual, couples, and family counselling.

A member of the Canadian Academy of Psychologists in Disability Assessment, he served as Secretary-Treasurer of the International Work Group on Death, Dying, and Bereavement from His co-authored book, Parenting after the death of a child: A practitioner s guide was published by Routledge in From Devastation to Regeneration: Parenting After the Death of a Child This workshop will present qualitative data on how parents move from devastation to regeneration following the death of a child. Emphasis will be placed on how parents juggle with the dual tasks of parenting and grieving, and how they struggle to find to allow surviving children to engage the world amidst overwhelming fear, powerlessness, and loss of control. Alexandra Fortier, MSS, RSW Alexandra Fortier is currently an Implementation and Leadership Coach for a provincial initiative, as well as Co- Chair of the Advisory Committee of the Ontario Centre of Excellence for Children and Youth Mental Health. Formally Director of Day Treatment programs, her experience varies from systemic intervention of incestuous sexual abuse, Children s Aid, families in Crisis, as well as Clinical and Program Supervision. Her professional path largely contributed to her interest in Compassion Fatigue and Vicarious Trauma. It also fueled her determination to address on multiple levels (individually, professionally and organizationally) the issues that results from them. Walking the Walk: Creative Tools for Effectively Addressing Compassion Fatigue & Vicarious Trauma Working in a helping profession has many benefits, but it does have a few risks of the trade, namely Compassion Fatigue and Vicarious Trauma. When working with various clienteles who are suffering, there are additional factors that also add to the complexity of our work. During this presentation, you will be acquiring knowledge on how to differentiate the terms, how to address them effectively and how to use these factors to contribute to a creative work atmosphere. Deborah Headley, RSW, CYC Deborah G. Headley RSW, CYC is the Principal Associate of Network for Therapeutic Alliances. She has over twenty-five years of experience as an individual and family therapist, trainer, educator and organizational consultant. Her work is grounded in an Anti-Racism/Anti-Oppression (ARAO) framework, cross cultural competencies, inclusive practices and intersectionality. She specializes in working with and teaching about issues like mental health, sexualized trauma, intimate partner violence, intersecting identities, abuse, parenting in non-traditional families, and trauma resulting from discrimination in the workplace. Deborah has a deep commitment to equity and to creating safe spaces for people of different identities, backgrounds and experiences to heal. Cross Cultural Counselling and Practice: An Introduction Over the past three decades, attempts have been made in counselling and therapy practice to become more equitable and inclusive of a broader cross section of people and groups. Methods have also emerged to give greater attention to the mental health needs of those who are marginalized and non-dominant by working towards eliminating the structural inequities that can contribute to mental illness or the lack of

8 access to effective services. Cross Cultural Counselling and Therapy (CCCT) is one of those methods. This workshop presents an overview of CCCT focusing on how counsellor social identities and perceptions of clients worldview contribute to the dynamics that arise in the counselling relationship, shape intervention, and have an impact on service delivery. Define the concepts and framework that shape CCCT Describe the core competencies of CCCT: attitudes, knowledge, skills Examine the cross cultural dynamics that have an impact on the counselling process Deborah Moskovitch, B.A., B.A.S. Deborah Moskovitch is a Divorce Coach supporting people in having more positive outcomes from their divorce, for a happier and healthier future. She understands divorce, because she has been through her own seven-year struggle that ended more than 10 years ago. That process inspired Deborah to hunt for less painful ways to manage the divorce process and share it with others. Since then, she has researched and shared proven strategies and advice from 100 of North American s top divorce lawyers, financial advisors, counselors and other experts in her best selling resource book, The Smart Divorce, now in its third printing.

Deborah holds degrees in economics and business administration from Toronto s York University. Achieving a Smart Divorce: Divorce is a Journey, Guiding Clients Through the Pitfalls Divorce is more than a legal process. This workshop provides an in-depth understanding of the many dynamics of the divorce process; the emotional process and how it impacts the legal process, the effects of various cultural/religious perspectives, understanding the reconfigured family, an overview of all the dispute resolutions and much more will be explored. The information provided will be highly valuable for any professional in the divorce arena wanting to be more effective at helping families navigate the divorce process. This course will highlight the ways in which all disciplines legal, therapeutic, parenting and financial can work together. Learning Objectives: o o o Explain the impact of divorce on immediate family members and collaterals Identify and provide appropriate direction to divorcing couples Integrate a contemporary psycho-social approach in addressing issues of divorcing couples Danielle Sauvé, Ph.D. Danielle Sauvé graduated from Concordia University in 1999 with a Ph.D. in Neuroscience and Clinical Psychology. She did her pre-doctoral clinical internship at the Eating Disorders Unit of the Douglas Mental Health University Institute in Montreal. In 2008, she participated in the first training program in Schema Therapy offered by Dr. Jeffrey Young and colleagues in New York City. Danielle was certified as a Schema Therapist in 2009, and in 2012 became a Certified Schema Therapy Supervisor. Danielle has been in private practice for over 15 years. Schema Therapy: An Introduction Schema Therapy, developed by Dr. Jeffrey Young, is an integrative conceptual model that provides a framework to describe the functional and dysfunctional coping styles people develop to meet core emotional needs. Schema Therapy provides an accessible language that therapist and patient use to conceptualize and explore the presenting problems, and the therapy s objectives. Schema therapy also provides methods and techniques to promote change. The objectives of today s seminar are to: 1. Understand the context in which Schema Therapy was developed. 2. Define the 18 Early Maladaptive Schemas (EMSs); the role of memory and biology in their formation and activation.

9 3. Describe schema processes: Avoidance, compensation, surrendering. 4. Provide a brief overview of the treatment approach. Clinical examples will be used to illustrate the theoretical concepts. Dr. Zindel Segal, Ph.D. Zindel Segal, PhD, is Distinguished Professor of Psychology in Mood Disorders at the University of Toronto Scarborough and a Senior Scientist in the Campbell Family Research Institute at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. Dr. Segal has studied and published widely on psychological treatments for depression for more than 30 years, especially the nature of psychological prophylaxis for this recurrent and disabling disorder. His early work helped to characterize psychological markers of relapse vulnerability in affective disorder, especially the link between affective and self-devaluation components of dysphoria and provided the empirical rationale for offering training mindfulness mediation to recurrently depressed patients in recovery. An author of over 10 books and 130 scientific papers, Dr. Segal's latest publication The Mindful Way Workbook is a patient guide for achieving mood balance in everyday life. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and the Management of Mood Disorders This workshop will be an interactive learning experience combining didactic instruction with experiential exercises to teach the key aspects of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT). MBCT, originally developed as a group intervention, integrates techniques from mindfulnessbased stress reduction with cognitive therapy for depression to teach individuals who have recovered from depression new skills to help prevent future relapses. Key themes include experiential learning and the development of an open and acceptant mode of response, in which one intentionally faces behavioral difficulties and affective discomfort. Increased mindfulness allows early detection of relapse-related patterns of negative thinking, feelings, and body sensations, allowing them to be "nipped in the bud" at a stage when this may be much easier than if such warning signs are not noticed or are ignored. Formulation of specific relapse/recurrence prevention strategies are included in the later stages of treatment. You will learn about: 1) the link between a model of cognitive vulnerability to depression and the development of MBCT to prevent recurrent depression; 2) research to date supporting the use of MBCT in mood and anxiety disorders and why MBCT works; and, 3) the core therapeutic tasks that accompany each of the MBCT group sessions. Naseema Siddiqui, M.A., (C) OACCPP Naseema has over 30 plus years of experience providing a wide range of psychological services to developmentally delayed, dually diagnosed and behaviourally challenged children and adults. She has consulted with general practitioners and other medical specialists regarding psychological conditions including dual diagnosis and psychopharmacological concerns. She is the Past President and current Chair of the Legislation and Nomination Committee of OACCPP. Naseema is a Certified Member of the OACCPP. Update on the New College: Life After Proclamation This workshop will discuss the New College (CRPO). However, if there is any change in the date of proclamation of the College, the workshop will discuss what is happening before and after proclamation. The workshop will also speak to the advocacy role of OACCPP on behalf of their members, after proclamation. We hope that this workshop gives members a better/clearer understanding of what has happened and what will be happening moving forward with the New College and what OACCPP will continue to do for its members.

Professional Discipline & You The investigative and discipline process that applies to regulated health professions can be very confusing for members of a newly regulated health profession. Members that fail to exercise the procedural and substantive rights available to them under the Health Professions Procedural Code, or fail to engage in the investigative and discipline process in the hopes that the College will eventually leave them alone, may find themselves banished from the profession. Come and learn about the investigative and discipline process and how it affects you.
