Researchers have speculated that the physical environment in which therapy takes place plays a vital role in determining whether or not a client stays in therapy.  Have you ever wondered how you can best utilize your office environment to compliment your work? In this workshop we will explore relevant research on therapeutic office spaces, reflect on our own spaces, and discuss a variety of ways we can utilize our office spaces to complement and enhance our work as clinicians in daily clinical work. Attendees will walk away with ideas for creating intentional spaces for treatment that both themselves and their clients will find useful.  This presentation is relevant for clinicians who work in office spaces with a variety of client populations.
