Two webinars in the Legal and Ethical Issues of Clinical Practice and Clinical Supervision series explore ethical considerations for behavioral health clinicians working in an integrated practice. One webinar focuses on clinical supervision, and the other webinar examines clinical documentation. Both of these webinars develop and strengthen clinical documentation skills for those providing behavioral health services in an integrated setting. The third webinar, Clinician Best Practices in an Integrated Setting: From Assessment Throughout Treatment, develops and strengthens best practices of those providing behavioral health services in an integrated setting from initial assessment through treatment.
The Legal and Ethical Issues of Clinical Practice and Clinical Supervision webinar series is designed and facilitated by Patricia Dobratz, JD, LMFT, BC-TMH. Patricia Dobratz’s background spans the fields of law, behavioral health, and academia. She worked as an Assistant State’s Attorney in Illinois for years before pursuing a career in behavioral health. She has held Clinical Supervisor, Director, and Vice President positions providing support and leadership to behavioral health teams of interns, associates, independently licensed professionals, and supervisors and has served as Chairperson of the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners. Ms. Dobratz currently owns the Clinical Best Practice Institute dedicated to supporting therapists, supervisors, and businesses.
“I have had the opportunity to work with clients, as well as supervise clinicians in a variety of settings, including as the Vice President of Behavioral Health Services for an integrated healthcare company. Through my work there, as well as my work on the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners, it’s become evident how important behavioral health professionals are on integrated care teams. It’s also become clear that there’s support and guidance needed, as this is oftentimes a different role than behavioral health professionals have had before. This three part webinar series is designed to provide that support and guidance.” – Patricia Dobratz, JD, LMFT, BC-TMH
