SATURDAY WORKSHOP

Saturday, September 26, 2015  9:00 - 12:00 
The Next Frontier: Confronting Unconscious Bias
Victoria Herzog, LMFT

Mental health providers need to be culturally proficient in order to adapt to a variety of client backgrounds and cultural identities—essential components of keeping clients in therapy and working with them effectively. Unlike many other trainings on cultural competency, this workshop focuses on providers' unconscious bias, which is influenced by both innate tendencies and internalized beliefs about race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, and socioeconomic status, among other cultural facets —no matter what the providers' good intentions, education level, or political beliefs. This session will help providers understand and confront many of their (and their clients') biases, as well as learn how to continue to develop their cultural proficiency in the future.



Victoria Herzog is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, clinical supervisor, trainer, and consultant who specializes in working with teens, families, couples, and adults in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. In addition to private practice in Novato and San Rafael, she has worked for many years in community agencies, schools, and a reproductive clinic for teens and young adults. As an immigrant with a multicultural background, she is committed to providing Culturally Inclusive Therapy and is comfortable working with a variety of cultural facets including sexual orientation, gender identity, acculturation gaps, socioeconomic challenges, religious and racial/ethnic minorities and unconscious bias.
