A clinical introduction to integrating CBT and attachment in psychotherapy

This 75-minute pre-recorded training offers a clear, accessible framework for clinicians who want to move beyond technique and toward conceptual integration. Rather than positioning CBT and attachment as parallel approaches, this workshop explores how they can work together to support meaning-making and relational change in psychotherapy.

You’ll learn how attachment patterns shape cognition, emotion, and behavior and how CBT interventions can be adapted to account for relational challenges and defensive strategies.

This workshop includes a workbook with notes, exercises, reflections and additional resources that follow the lecture.

Court-Ordered Parenting Assessments (S.30)

Parents face numerous difficult decisions when they decide to separate. Sometimes, when parents are unable to come to a decision about child-related issues such as parenting time and decision-making, or when there are concerns about parenting capacity, a mental health professional is asked by the family court to provide recommendations on the matter.

A parenting assessment (or Section 30) is a comprehensive, in-depth evaluation of the children’s needs, the parents’ ability and functioning, and the various relationships and dynamics within a family.

My role as an evaluator is to gather information and make recommendations in the best interests of the child(ren). I provide recommendations to the court on parental decision-making (custody) and parenting time (visitation) that are in the best interests of the child(ren). I also answer specific questions posed by the court. The S.30 evaluation is a process, which does not guarantee an outcome for either party.

“Dr. Pishva was an engaging speaker. She was clearly an expert and I appreciated her comments connecting content to research studies."

“I appreciated how prepared Dr. Rana was and how excited she was for the material. It's clear she has conceptualized this integrative approach a lot!"

“I appreciated that many practical skills/worksheets were included in the workshop. (tangible ideas we can bring into therapeutic sessions)"

“I appreciate the work Rana has put into this training, both theoretically and concretely. The workbook (and power point) is beautiful and handy. I look forward to referring to it and think I am more likely to than a typical power point handout."
