Hi, I’m Sarah (tomakich) Winters
I want to bring you CE courses that are useful and relevant to your practice. I believe the paths we’ve walked are as different as the therapy we practice - my teaching style (and those who teach alongside me) honor there is no one way to be a helping person.
Each course offered by Psychotherapy Seminars looks to build and enhance the art and science of the work we do in our sessions by offering a framework to better understand the best tool we have - ourselves.
educational values & Approach
At Psychotherapy Seminars we believe you are a person first and a modality second. Using this framework, our courses are designed to help you identify, name, and understand your stance as an authentic human being. In other words, our courses are specifically designed to help the therapist more clearly define their “I” as one of the most important tools in their practice of therapy.
Our mission is clear: each course offered by Psychotherapy Seminars looks to build and enhance the art and science of the work we do in our sessions by offering a framework to better understand the best tool we have - ourselves.
Art
Art, at its most basic definition, is the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination.
Therapy, at its most connected and healing, is relational and calls on us to apply our personal creativity and imagination to provide an authentic therapeutic experience.
Science
In an increasingly technical and formulaic treatment climate, Psychotherapy Seminars maintains a commitment to in-depth personal engagement, relationship centered approaches, and a focus on theory and research in the field of psychotherapy.
“There would be no art and there would be no science if human beings had no desire to create. And if we had everything we ever need or wanted, we would have no reason for creating anything. So, at the root of all art and all science there exists a gap – a gap between what the world is like and what the human creator wishes and hopes for it to be like. Our unique way of bridging the gap in each of our lives seems to me to be the essence of the reason for human creativity.”
