Celebrating the Success of Our Monthly CEU Luncheon: A Powerful Learning and Networking Experience for Central Ohio Mental Health Professionals

This past week, we had the pleasure of hosting our monthly Central Ohio Mental Health Professionals CEU Luncheon, and it was a resounding success! The event, designed to provide valuable learning opportunities and foster social connections within the mental health community, was filled with insightful discussions, new discoveries, and enriching networking. Hosted by Kaela Rae Vance LPCC-S, the luncheon spotlighted an outstanding featured presenter, Lisa Bushman, LPCC, who shared her expertise in a powerful and transformative session.

Lisa’s presentation, “Exploring the Power of Sound Therapy in Mental Health,” offered attendees a fresh perspective on how sound therapy can be used as a tool to help reduce stress, release negative energy, and support emotional healing.

Lisa, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with extensive training in various therapeutic approaches such as EMDR, the Gottman Method, and Emotionally Focused Therapy, has been integrating Sound Therapy into her practice at The Sound Room at Polaris. During her talk, she provided valuable insights into how sound therapy works on a quantum level to reset the body’s natural frequencies, ultimately improving emotional states like anxiety and depression.

What made this luncheon truly special was the experiential opportunity that followed the CEU presentation. After learning about the science behind sound therapy, attendees were invited to participate in a free, guided Sound Room experience, where they had the chance to feel the transformative effects of sound therapy firsthand. This hands-on approach allowed everyone to connect with the power of sound as a healing tool, offering a unique, rejuvenating experience that attendees left feeling deeply relaxed and renewed.

We’re incredibly grateful for Lisa’s contribution to this month’s event and for all the attendees who made it such a success. It was a fantastic opportunity for Central Ohio mental health professionals to come together, learn, and build meaningful connections. And, of course, we couldn’t have made it possible without our CEU provider, Strongblossom, Inc., a Michelle Risser company, which is an approved provider of continuing education by the State of Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Therapist Board, ensuring that our attendees earned valuable CEU hours while enriching their professional knowledge.

Looking Ahead to Next Month's Luncheon

The excitement doesn’t stop here—mark your calendars for next month’s luncheon, where we will be joined by another incredible presenter, Michelle Risser, LISW-S. Michelle will be leading a presentation titled "Supporting Clients in 12-Step Recovery", an essential topic for mental health professionals working with clients navigating addiction and recovery.
