The CE Training
The Inner Critic and the Achiever: Clinical Strategies for Treating Imposter Syndrome
November 13, 9am-5pm MST
INSTRUCTOR: Shawn Rodrigues, LPC
Approvals: ACE, APA, NBCC, NYSED (LMSW/LCSW, LMFT, LMHC, Psychologists), NY-OASAS
Imposter Syndrome affects an estimated 70% of high-achieving individuals, including many mental health clinicians. Despite their training and accomplishments, those experiencing Imposter Syndrome may persistently doubt their abilities and fear being exposed as inadequate or fraudulent.
This immersive, full-day program explores the psychological mechanisms underlying Imposter Syndrome, including perfectionism, cognitive distortions, trauma, family dynamics, and cultural influences. Participants will learn to identify Imposter Syndrome in clients, distinguish it from anxiety, burnout, and perfectionism, and apply evidence-based interventions that support lasting change.
Drawing from cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based, compassion-focused, and somatic approaches, the program offers practical strategies clinicians can use to help clients—and themselves—move beyond chronic self-doubt toward greater confidence, resilience, and professional mastery.
This training may be tax-deductible as a professional development expense. Consult your accountant.
The Retreat Experience
November 14—17, 2026
Led by Penny Siegmann, LCSW-R
Over four days, you’ll be guided through soul-nourishing sacred ceremonies, healing practices, and self-love workshops designed to help you overcome burnout, find your innate energy, reignite your passion for healing work, and reconnect with your authentic self.
With the energy of Sedona’s vortexes and a supportive community of like-minded women, you'll build a strong foundation for personal growth and self-love to carry home with you. This retreat is a journey of reclaiming self-love, giving you the space to nurture yourself, reconnect with your inner strength, and embrace the empowerment that comes from within.
At each step of the journey, you’ll be guided and supported by me (Penny Siegmann, LCSW-R), a professional psychotherapist and avid travel enthusiast. Learn more about me and my work here!
Why Sedona?
Sedona is a sanctuary of spiritual renewal, set in the high desert with breathtaking views of vibrant red rocks and renowned for its powerful healing energies. This sacred land invites you to shed old layers and step into a renewed version of yourself.
Our journey takes place at the Sedonya Conscious Living Center*, a world-renowned tranquil retreat center designed for healing, awakening consciousness, and tapping into Sedona’s vortex energies. Here, you’ll be immersed in a sacred transformational experience that supports core healing, personal growth, and soul expansion.
Beyond the retreat’s offerings, Sedona provides countless opportunities to deepen your journey. Explore scenic hiking trails, browse unique crystal shops, indulge in luxury spa treatments, or embark on a jeep tour to uncover the area’s stunning landscapes. Sedona’s vibrant energy and natural beauty create the perfect setting for adventure, reflection, and transformation.
Who is this experience for?
This CE training + restorative retreat fosters profound connection between professional women, which creates a supportive space for self-love, empowerment and spiritual expansion. It’s a haven to nourish your soul, replenish your energy and return to the world feeling balanced, empowered and radiant, with a renewed sense of trust in your inner guidance.
If you’re a woman who is feeling disconnected from your inner self, depleted by the demands of daily life, or yearning for a deeper connection to self and to the world, you probably need a break from it all to just replenish and reset.
This experience is for any professional woman who is burnt out, tired, and longs to be nourished—body, mind and soul. This is for any woman ready to reclaim her energy, reignite her passion, and step up to life’s challenges with clarity and confidence.
