The Fall season brings pumpkin spice latte in the Northeast, a chill in the air, and families under stress in our PDA professional practices. I know that I need the opportunity to reflect on my work with colleagues that can hold space for me.

Let us be that for you!

The PDA Therapy Collaborative has been running drop in connection and clinical discussion groups for professionals since February of 2024. We are now returning this Fall with a full schedule of groups; meant to provide opportunity for PDA professionals to meet colleagues and enjoy collegial clinical conversations that encourage us to slow down and find support to process our work.

Elise Jacobson, LICSW, the Founder of the Collaborative and Clinical Social Worker for 35 years, organizes, facilitates and cohosts these groups. She runs a practice that works exclusively with PDA and both consults, presents and teaches frequently on PDA unfolding best practices.

Are you interested in facilitating a group with the Collaborative this Fall? Fill out our contact form and Elise will follow up. https://pdatherapycollaborative.com/contact/

We are always interested in collaborations and ways to learn from our colleagues.

Look for Clinical Discussion topics to emerge organically as the Fall season unfolds that will be based on our interests and what we see in our work. Prior topics?

~building the safe therapeutic container

~beyond low demand

~supporting PDA families holistic needs

~co-occurring conditions

~engaging in the inter relational space with PDA families

~circular thinking, its role in organic PDA processing and how to engage it

~and many, many more

The following is the Fall schedule. Save the dates and RSVP now for reminders from Google Calendar. And don’t forget, if you have a passion project or an idea, you’d like to lead discussion on, you are welcome to reach out and share more!
