Why This Training Matters
Diagnosing is one of the most impactful parts of our work as mental health clinicians. This live, interactive training gives you the tools, clarity, and real-world examples you need to diagnose accurately, avoid missteps, and better support the clients you serve. We will explore how ethical codes and best practices shape diagnostic work, and how clinicians can make thoughtful, culturally responsive, affirming decisions even when information is unclear or systems create pressure.
Who Should Attend
You’re early in your career and want to feel more confident making diagnostic decisions that are accurate, ethical, and well-documented.
You’re an experienced clinician who wants to sharpen your diagnostic skills, reduce harm, and bring a more culturally responsive and neurodivergent-affirming lens to your work.
You’re a supervisor or educator who wants to better support trainees in navigating ethical questions around diagnosis, documentation, and communicating labels with clients.
In this live session you’ll…
- Explore the key ethical standards and legal considerations that shape responsible diagnostic work in clinical practice.
- Learn how to collaborate transparently with clients about diagnosis, including how to discuss risks, benefits, and alternatives in a clear and supportive way.
- Discover best-practice documentation approaches that demonstrate ethical reasoning, clinical judgment, and appropriate justification for your diagnostic conclusions.
Dana M. Cea (she/they)
Through Dana’s work with clients and their own experiences navigating diagnosis, they’ve seen how powerful—and how complicated—a label can be. As a supervisor, she noticed that clinicians often felt unsure about how to diagnose ethically, document their reasoning, and talk with clients about diagnoses in ways that reduce harm instead of reinforcing stigma. Now, through their work as a counselor, supervisor, and educator, Dana helps mental health professionals approach diagnosis with more clarity, confidence, and care. Their teaching centers ethics, cultural responsiveness, and neurodivergent-affirming practice so clinicians can make informed decisions that truly support the people they serve.
“Together, we can make this field better for both clients and clinicians.”
