Workshops

Looking for workshops for your agency, corporation or small groups? Below you will find information about workshops that are available. Upon request more workshops can be developed.

I have been an adjunct professor at Penn State University, Temple University and Montgomery County Community College. In addition, I have given workshops to financial corporations, religious communities, therapist communities and out in the general community. My classes are interactive, fun and educational with a feeling of connectedness through mindful presence. If you would like to set up a class for your business, agency or colleagues feel free to contact me.

Online Counseling for Families and Children

In this workshop counselors will learn three techniques they can use through an online platform. These techniques create an atmosphere to build a relationship with children and their parents quickly. The activities will help you assess the family dynamics and the individual communication styles each family member uses during conflict. The workshop is experiential so counselors get to experiment with the various activities live during the presentation.

I found the presentation to be very helpful. I am a graduate psychology student currently working with children in the outpatient therapy setting. The methods discussed and taught could be applied to the clients I interact with on a daily basis, and could be very helpful when exploring the emotions and feelings these clients have a difficult time processing and discussing. It was a great presentation! Thanks!

Emotional Freedom Technique and How to Talk to Your Clients About It

Stacey Shapiro lead a very dynamic, informative and engaging virtual presentation on the Introduction to Tapping to clinicians. She gave several helpful demonstrations and provided practical tips on how to utilize the technique with clients and in real-life. Stacey created a safe space where folks could ask questions and she provided very thorough answers. After Stacey’s presentation, many participants expressed an interest in becoming certified in Tapping. They also commented on how much they got out of the presentation and what a great presenter Stacy is; we highly recommend her!

Stacey’s intro to SoulCollage was a perfect flow of connecting to my intuitive self and witnessing the creative parts in others. I felt rejuvenated and inspired by attending the group.

Celeste L., LMFT

Soul Collage experience was a welcome break in my life. I enjoyed getting back in touch with the simple art of collaging. I welcomed the prompts to guide me to see myself at a deeper level and enjoyed the sharing aspect quite a bit. During this pandemic, we can all get a little isolated. Nice to connect with like-minded, kind souls!

Michele H., Psychotherapist

I recently had the pleasure of taking a SoulCollage (R) workshop with Stacey. It was a powerful way to gain insight into some things I’ve been thinking about and to share my journey of growth with others. Thank you Stacey!

Sara S., Parenting and Resilience during a Pandemic Workshop

I attended Stacey’s Mindfulness for Caregivers Program on a morning I was anything but mindful of my own feelings. Stacey’s program provided me with immediate tools that I use to recognize my own feelings before attempting to ‘fix’ others who I care for. I highly recommend Stacey’s Mindfulness program.

Lindsay M., Special Education

It was wonderful to practice breathing techniques and grounding. I felt much more relaxed during the session. I will use these techniques immediately in our home life.

Adam B., Computer Specialist

I have found Stacey to be commited and dedicated to providing families with excellent support and guidance. She drew upon her years of experience in working with and serving children and families, as she helped some of the most vulnerable families. She worked through crisis and developed service plans that enabled those families to remain intact and on a path to healing. Stacey is highly committed to the Social Work profession and helping individuals achieve their greatest potential.

As a colleague of Stacey Shapiro, I highly recommend her to any individual, couple or family seeking therapy. Stacey is not only highly knowledgeable in her field, but she is extremely compassionate, kind, caring and approachable. She always goes the ‘extra mile’ for all of her patients and colleagues. She is always determined to help her patients succeed in therapy, and wants what is best for her patients at all times. Stacey frequently attends continuing education courses in her field so that she can be up to date on the latest treatments and treatment modalities. Stacey is a team player, and I enjoy working with her and sharing mutual patients.
