Calling Minnesota Therapists!

Want free CEs and a good book discussion?

Our 2nd Annual Northlight & Friends CE Book Club is here!

Last year’s event brought together therapists across Minnesota and participants earned free CEs while connecting over thoughtful conversation.

This year we’re reading Dopamine Nation by Dr. Anna Lembke and discussing how ideas about dopamine, reward, and addiction show up in real therapy work.

This is a facilitated conversation among clinicians who want to think more deeply about the work we do.
