I just attended Deb Dana's course, 'Polyvagal Theory in Clinical Practice: Healing Trauma Through Nervous System Regulation' through Leading Edge Seminars. Deb has brought into the therapy room the insights and understanding of our nervous system from the scientific work of Stephen Porges (Polyvagal Theory). It is another wonderful way to help guide clients out of survival-driven patterns and into states of safety and engagement. I highly recommend this course and anything that Deb Dana puts out to the world!

“I just attended Adrian Fletcher's course'Dissociative Identity Disorder in Clinical Practice: A Trauma-Informed Guide for Mental Health Professionals' through Leading Edge Seminars. The insights into how to build a more accurate, compassionate, and trauma-informed understanding of DID in my practice together with her own lived experience through diagnosis and therapy really deepened my competency in trauma-informed care. I highly recommend this course!”

I took the Supervisors Course - Already making use of it in my clinic. Very practical

“I just attended the 5-day EMDR Training Course with Roy Kiessling through Leading Edge Seminars. The insights into how to effectively implement EMDR therapy into my practice as well as customize it for various client scenarios will be a game-changer for my practice. I highly recommend this course!”

Roy Kiessling and his team of EMDR coaches demonstrated great passion for their work and this transferred into a great 5-day learning experience. The venue was nicely located on a tranquil lake and it was a nice opportunity to meet other clinicians in the counselling field. Five full days of instruction can seem long at first, but Roy and his coaches were well prepared and showed great attention to every aspect of the learning experience. Thank you.

I took a Mastering Supervision and Leadership seminar and really enjoyed the presenter Dr. Sabrina N'Diaye. She brings a wealth of experience and presents information in an engaging way. I would take another one of her leadership seminars.

I have attended Leading Edge Seminars for many years for continuing education related to understanding and treating patients with mental health problems. High quality experienced speakers addressing a wide variety of timely topics are available live or recorded for reasonable prices. Their courses are accredited with major professional organizations. Most recently, I found a presentation by Robert Solomon: Legal Issues In Counselling to be excellent. In my opinion it would be of value for training new clinicians as well as updating practicing mental health professionals. Pertinent legal topics such as Consent, Capacity, Substitute Consent, and Negligence were clearly addressed with updated information, excellent references and adequate opportunity to ask questions. Very well done; very interesting. I do not hesitate to recommend Leading Edge Seminars to physicians, social workers and other professionals who deal with mental health issues in their practices.

“I just attended the How to Provide Effective Care to Autistic Children & Youth course with Katy Albert through Leading Edge Seminars. I had some knowledge around the use of Acceptance and Committment Therapy but I never thought about using it as a treatment modality when working with Autistic Children and Youth. Not only did Katy meet my expectations around learning more about identity affirming treatment, she also provided comprehensive and tangible step by step outlines on how to format your sessions, skill building in and outside of sessions and working with parents. I left the session with some amazing resources that I've been using with all of my teenage clients - whether they are neurodivergent or not!
