Support Group for Therapists Tuesdays, 7:00 - 8:00 pm PDT All licensed, associates and trainees are welcome Free Email SupportGroup@insightcenter.org for Zoom Access Credentials These are intensely stressful times. Many of us and many of our clients experience symptoms that Irvin Yalom describes as fueled by "death anxiety." Our country, our families and our psyches are in the midst of existential crises. Social connection becomes that which we crave yet must avoid. This ongoing drop-in support group is not a therapy group. It offers a safe, calm, supportive environment to share feelings, make connection with others and share hope for the future. Join us for all or part of any group session. Michael Shiffman, PhD, is a relational body therapist at the Insight Center in West Los Angeles. He founded LA Dharma in 1999 and co-founded the Insight Center in 2006. Michael has studied with numerous Western Buddhist teachers and currently studies with Rev. Hye Wol Sunim. He has been meditating since 1994 and teaching mindfulness and insight meditation since 2002. Michael is a certified practitioner of the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner with substantial training in the use of touch for nervous system regulation and the repair of attachment ruptures. He is trained in EMDR and is a PACT Level 2 couple therapist. Michael has an extensive background working with anxiety, panic, traumatic stress, substance abuse and recovery, relapse prevention, and somatic oriented therapeutic practices. He teaches meditation and somatic therapy. Michael has a private practice in Los Angeles. You can find more details on his website at https://michaelshiffman.com The Insight Center brings together traditional Buddhist teachings, mindfulness practices and relational psychotherapy to enhance the capacity of our students and clients to lead fulfilling lives. We teach traditional meditation practice, workshops for the general public and clinical trainings for psychotherapists, and provide psychotherapy to individuals, couples and families.

A Message from CAMFT 

In response to the COVID-19 crisis and current social distancing mandates, CAMFT members and mental health professionals everywhere are using Telehealth services to safely provide continuity of care for their clients. Government officials and health care entities are establishing emergency policies regarding the use of Telehealth during this unprecedented time. Below are the most prominent considerations for therapists who want to utilize Telehealth platforms throughout this crisis. (If you work in a hospital or clinic setting, be sure to follow your organization’s protocols for safety and readiness, including their protocols for Telehealth.)

These FAQs as well as additional information and resources can be found on the home page of the CAMFT website and by clicking here.

Please see our Resources page for helpful links during the CODIV-19 pandemic. 

We are working on updating this site with helpful information regarding this time in our society.  Please reference the state CAMFT and BBS websites for further information on the impact of and/or important legal changes to providing therapy sessions.

A Message from your RRC-CAMFT President

March 20, 2020

RRC-CAMFT Chapter Members,

Thank you in advance for your continued patience and willingness to navigate and work with the regulations and mandates of the COVID-19 pandemic that are changing by the hour.  We've waited for direction from State CAMFT before prematurely posting information that could easily be outdated by the end of the day.  

Each one of us in Private Practice has questions on telehealth, insurance billing codes, etc.  At this time, we suggest you continue to update yourselves regularly with the State CAMFT website - http://www.camft.org and refer to the RESOURCES FOR MEMBERS DURING COVID-19.  This Resource page has current information regarding Telehealth and Private Practice. Additionally, the State site features a Telehealth FAQ's for Therapists during COVID-19 that was just published today.

CAMFT's Facebook page also has some wonderful articles shared from business associates that cover Coronavirus-related topics. https://www.facebook.com/CAMFT/

State CAMFT continues to update Chapter Leaders regularly and please be assured I will pass along any new information to Chapter Members as soon as its received, so we can continue to provide a community in need with our safe, peaceful and assuring presence.

As always, please continue to prioritize your own holistic health and well-being, as we have so much more to give away when we've nurtured and replenished it within.  Please reach out to one another for additional support as needed.    

Kind regards on behalf of the 2020 RRC-CAMFT Board of Directors, 

Julie Boswell, LMFT                                                                                                                                                                                               2020 RRC-CAMFT President  

There are no limitations.  I can do what I want to do. I am imaginative and energized.  I am strong, able and focused.  I can do all that is mine to do today.  My mind is alert, my body vital and healthy, and my way be strewn with golden opportunities.  No matter what this day will bring me, there is that in me that is great enough to meet it, achieve it, and be blessed by it.  I will do that which brings me joy!
