Journaling isn't just a Thing To Try and In Therapy


You've probably had the idea of using journaling writing and creativity in therapy with your client. I think it's a fantastic one, and allows for some amazing insight and depth. But some days you feel like it's just Testing an Assumption and Discovering Your Finding. There's probably a better way to integrate journaling into your clients treatment, right?

Ethical Use of Journaling in Therapy is for you if...


  • You and your client discuss their journaling and creative expression in therapy
  • You actively provide clients journaling prompts, writing activities, and homework assignments
  • You have been thinking about how creativity and journaling writing can fit into your clinical approach, but aren't sure how to best fit it in.
  • You Want a Free CE on Ethics (We all know you do).

  1. Define Journal Therapy, Poetry Therapy, and Biblio Therapy
  2. Name the Credentialing Body of Poetry Therapy
  3. Explain the Ethical Concerns of poetry and journaling use to clients
  4. Recall three activities that are considered journaling and poetry therapy

About Your Presenter


Hi, I’m Tim Kelly, LCSW. I'm a nature-loving poetic, rooted dreamer, and a clinician here to guide the way forward.

I'm a New Jersey native who strives to be at the forefront of all things creative and trail-blazing in mental health treatment. I've focused my career on using journaling, nature, and Parts work to help others come to healing and renewing themselves in the crazy and painful world we live in.

Now I'm here to share that with you.

I'm rooted in a career dedicated to responding to emergencies, stabilizing crisis, and managing situations involving many moving parts. I have a combined 5 years social work experience with severe and chronically mentally ill adults and children in the community, working within the hospital and in-home setting providing group and individual therapy services.

All of this to say that you can work hard and be creative while doing it. But you knew that. You just need to know how to get continue down that path.
