Mindfulness, the practice of paying attention to the present moment with openness and nonjudgment, has become an increasingly valuable tool in psychotherapy for enhancing emotional regulation, reducing stress, and fostering self-awareness. This training provides clinicians with a foundational understanding of mindfulness theory, research, and practical application in counseling. Together, we will explore the psychological and physiological benefits of mindfulness, common barriers clients may face, and ways to integrate mindfulness techniques into diverse therapeutic modalities. Participants will engage in guided exercises, gaining practical skills for introducing and sustaining mindfulness practices with clients in a way that is both accessible and clinically effective.

Upon completion of the webinar, participants will be able to:

• Define mindfulness and describe its relevance to mental health and psychotherapy.
• Identify at least three evidence-based benefits of mindfulness practice for clients.
• Apply at least two mindfulness-based interventions within the context of therapeutic work.
