EXPAND YOUR RELATIONAL CAPACITY

For curious therapists, the art of clinical work deepens over time and we grow confidence as we continue to challenge ourselves.

Just as our clients do not heal in isolation,

even excellent therapists do not progress in isolation.

You have developed skill, intuition, and professional experience. This year of study and community is for therapists seeking clinical depth and consultation for working with:

→ Unconscious process

→ Developmental trauma and dissociative expression

→ Nuanced relational dynamics

→ Ethically informed use of self, and the relationship with your client, in the room

THE RELATIONAL LAB - ADVANCED IS DESIGNED FOR:

Clinicians dedicated to growing their own capacities as therapists: refining their relational capacity, deepening their clinical conceptualization and treatment approach, and engaging with colleagues committed to thoughtful and artful therapeutic work

Participants meet once per month for a two-hour session:

1. The first hour:
   We will discuss a monthly reading (selections from seminal and modern relational resources), focused on a different aspect of clinical work each group

2. The second hour:
   We will consult on two member-presented cases, focusing on building a collaborative frame with the client, ongoing assessment and case conceptualization (with attention to trauma-informed assessment & treatment) and interventions delivered through a relational lens

A SPACE FOR EXPERIENCED CLINICIANS

As therapists mature professionally, many seek a different kind of learning environment.

Beyond basic training — depth exploration of complex work.

The Relational Lab – Advanced provides space for:

→ Thoughtful study of seminal and modern relational and trauma-informed texts

→ Consultation on challenging clinical cases

→ Reflection on long-term treatment dynamics

→ Continued refinement of relational skill

→ Professional dialogue with experienced clinicians

AREAS OF EXPLORATION

Sessions will explore topics such as:

→ Treating complex trauma

→ Building a parts model into your treatment approach

→ Understanding dissociation: how to assess for it, track it and support clients with dissociative process

→ Navigating therapeutic impasses

→ Deepening therapist use of self

→ Relational dynamics in long-term therapy

→ Ethical complexity in clinical decision-making

→ Therapist identity and professional evolution

→ The emotional life of the therapist

Participants bring their real clinical questions and experiences into a collaborative consultation process.

WHO IS THIS FOR

The Relational Lab – Advanced is designed for clinicians who are:

→ Mid-career and experienced clinicians seeking depth in their clinical practice

→ Therapists seeking continued growth and consultation

→ Professionals interested in relational and trauma-informed work

→ Clinicians who value reflective practice and professional community

THE GOAL

Not simply to accumulate more knowledge.

But to continue the lifelong process of becoming the kind of therapist whose presence, thinking, and relational depth allow therapy to work at its fullest potential.

Meghan Reilly, LCSW

Meghan Reilly is a psychotherapist, educator, and relational trauma specialist with more than twenty years of experience working at the intersection of attachment, complex trauma, and embodied healing.

Her work is grounded in the belief that healing happens in relationship — not only in the therapy room, but in the spaces between clinicians, communities, and systems. She is deeply committed to supporting individuals, couples, and professionals in healing the relational wounds that shape present-day functioning.

Meghan approaches treatment from a place of curiosity, respect, and trust in the human capacity for connection and repair.

She draws from psychodynamic theory, relational approaches, and body-centered interventions, and has extensive training in complex trauma and dissociation. Meghan honors and confronts the ways in which systems of oppression and bias impact individual health and functioning.

Meghan is trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Levels I & II) and is currently pursuing advanced training in Deep Brain Reorienting.

Her clinical experience spans outpatient therapy, family systems work, medical environments, and an outpatient trauma center.

In addition to her clinical practice, Meghan is a trainer, consultant, and educator. She teaches the Couples and Relationship Therapy class at the University of Chicago’s Crown Family School of Social Work and has provided national training for many organizations including the March of Dimes.

Morgan Vance is a psychotherapist with experience working at the intersection of trauma, healing, and relational change. Her work is grounded in the belief that each person enters therapy with their own unique history, challenges, and capacity for growth — and that the therapeutic process must honor that individuality at every turn.

She approaches treatment from a place of deep respect, drawing on an eclectic and collaborative framework tailored to each client's specific needs and goals. Her clinical focus includes survivors of sexual abuse and assault, domestic violence, medical trauma, anxiety and depression, attachment, and grief and loss. She finds meaning in working with anyone seeking healing, self-understanding, or a deeper connection to their relationships and place in the world.

Morgan is trained in Comprehensive Resource Model, EMDR and Deep Brain Reorienting, which all influence her work with complex trauma and dissociation. She is passionate about supporting clinicians in their efforts to practice from a relational and trauma-informed stance.

MEET YOUR TRAINERS

Richla Davis is a psychotherapist whose work is grounded in the belief that a genuine, authentic therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful healing. She is deeply committed to normalizing the full range of human experience — including pain, suffering, and the longing for connection — and to supporting clients in building a more fulfilling relationship with themselves and others.

Richla specializes in treating depression, anxiety, and relationship conflict, with extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ populations and people of color navigating corporate environments. Many of her clients are BIPOC individuals seeking relief from the layered stressors of living within a marginalized identity, and she brings both clinical skill and personal passion to uplifting, supporting, and advocating for these communities.

Her therapeutic approach draws from narrative and relational therapy, and is informed by an anti-racist lens that centers racial trauma as a critical dimension of emotional well-being. Richla's clinical work reflects her belief that lasting relief from long-term emotional distress is possible — and that connection, both to self and to others, is at the heart of that process.
