What to Expect from The Clinician’s Compass

Our Workshop and Training Vibes

At The Clinician’s Compass, we know that continuing education (CE) for therapists shouldn’t feel like a checkbox—it should feel meaningful, practical, and connected to your real clinical work. Whether you’re seeking CE workshops, interactive clinical training, supportive consultation, or professional development coaching, here’s what you can expect when you engage with our offerings:

Clinician Testimonials

  • The Community

    “I enjoyed hearing from others about their experiences and feeling less alone in the struggles of working in imperfect systems”

  • The Instructors

    “Stacy & Kristin encourage clinicians to develop sound clinical judgement and critical thinking skills. They provide a depth of knowledge and experience and guide clinicians through relevant considerations for complex issues. Both Stacy and Kristin provide guidance while still encouraging clinicians to think for themselves, and they recognize the importance of nuance and context.”

  • The Content

    “The content felt more realistic and practical than ethics coursework and training I have had in the past. I think this makes me more confident in advocating for what is right even when there may be push back from leadership or the client may be uncomfortable with safety/crisis interventions.”

  • The Delivery

    “I loved how personable it was! I typically am quiet and don't interact much in training but the small size and nature of it really helped me connect with others more than usual.”

Human‑Centered Learning (Not Boring CE!)

Community That Lasts

Professional development isn’t just about information—it’s about connection. When you participate in our trainings, you become part of an ongoing network of clinicians who:

  • share insights

  • support one another

  • stay in touch beyond the workshop room

  • return for follow‑up learning and consultation opportunities

Experts Who Get It

Our presenters are clinicians who understand both the clinical and professional sides of your work. There are no ivory towers here—just real clinicians with real experience, grounded wisdom, and practical insights to share.

CE’s that COUNT!

All of our live, live-online, and hybrid courses are approved by the NBCC.

Kristin Trudeau and The Clinician’s Compass meets the requirements of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) and is approved for CE credits. These CE credits may be applied toward AASECT certification and renewal of certification. AASECT CE’s are also recognized for approval for the state board, by the state of Tennessee.

We are currently seeking national board approval for our asynchronous courses. Please continue to check back for progress.

Let’s be honest: most continuing education experiences feel like crowded rooms, endless slides, and zero connection.

We’re not here for that. The Clinician’s Compass is flipping the script on continuing education.

  • Let’s be honest: most continuing education experiences feel like crowded rooms, endless slides, and zero connection. We’re here to flip that script. Our CE workshops and training events are:

    • Human first. Always. We care more about you than your CE form. Our spaces are safe, supportive, and full of real conversation—no robotic head nodding required.

    • Interactive and engaging. This isn’t a sit-and-listen lecture—no Charlie Brown teacher here. Instead, you’ll actively participate through Socratic dialogue, role-playing, and real-world case studies.

      You’ll discuss, reflect, and practice throughout the session so you can actually apply what you learn—not just hear it. Slides support the experience, but the focus is on you: thinking, engaging, and building real skills.

    • Small and connected. We intentionally cap most trainings to small groups so meaningful conversations can happen.

    • Affordable but not “cheap” on purpose.

      Our continuing education courses aren’t the cheapest—and that’s intentional. But they’re not the most expensive either. We aim to strike the right balance: accessible, yet truly valuable.

      We believe quality CE should elevate your work, not drain your bank account. At the same time, we know that you often get what you pay for. Our pricing reflects a deeper commitment—clinicians investing in their own growth, skills, and long-term success.

      To support that commitment, we offer return-attendee discounts, making it easier to continue learning and building on what you’ve started. Because at the end of the day, this investment isn’t just in a course—it’s in the clinicians themselves.
