Training Cancellation Policy and FAQs

Q: What happens if the training is cancelled?

A: Although rare, the training may be cancelled or rescheduled if it doesn't meet the minimum registration. In this event, you will be contacted as soon as this decision has been made and we will refund 100% of all paid tickets. We will also notify you as soon as we get it rescheduled.

Q: Something’s come up, I can’t make it to the training!

A: Due to the high demands of our offerings, our trainings are non-refundable or exchangeable for any reason. We take a lot of time to prepare for these offerings in advance and are committed to providing outstanding services. We are intentional about our offerings and ask for the same commitment from you when choosing the training for you.

Q: Can someone else take my place if I can't attend?

A: In the event you have someone who would like to take the training in your place, let us know within 72 hours and we will happily honor them joining the group in your place. Please be advised that if a training offered is an advanced training the person taking your place would also need to qualify for training, unless otherwise stated by the clinical director, Alyssa Cedillo.

Q: What if I am interested in offering a training through Tree of Life Counseling Center? 

A: If you feel called to present for TLCC, please send an email with information you would like to present to info@treeoflifecounselingcenter.org. Please be advised TLCC’s mission is to disrupt oppressive systems and we will not release offerings that do not align with that mission. 

Q: Can I receive partial credit for a training?

A: Due to the nature of our trainings, we do not offer partial credit. 

Q: How do I know this training is for me?

A: Tree Of Life Counseling Center is a practice known for disrupting systems of oppression while engaging in ethical healing practices. Each of us is part of this change as social justice advocates and mental health professionals.

Trainings offered at TLCC are tailored to those who are committed to creating space for intergenerational healing and the collective liberation of our communities at large. We will always choose courage over comfort when exploring the needs of our community. We are a social justice-oriented practice and will not side step conversations surrounding systems of oppression, the mental health industrial complex, and cultural considerations. We encourage all providers to do their personal work and interrupt internalized oppressive concepts.

As providers we may not have known some of the practices that were taught to us in school could be damaging. With this new awareness comes responsibility to take action to ensure these practices no longer impact our clients or our communities and are not passed down to future providers.

We offer a safe, equitable, and welcoming environment for all. We strive to be more than an optical ally, believing that each of us has the power to rewrite some of the negative or damaging experiences the community has experienced when engaging with other mental health providers who may not have taken into account individual lived experiences.

Q: What if I can not attend trainings offered but want to be a part of the liberation of our community at large?

A: We will be offering partial and full scholarship for some of our trainings to BIPoC and LGBTQIA+ individuals through our nonprofit “Root of it Foundation” as funds allow.

The root of It Foundation was created to do exactly what the name states, get to the root of what is causing the pain and suffering in our community. This means actively removing roadblocks that have been put in place to deny providers and the community full access to their inner healing abilities.

The community deserves providers who want to get to the root of our pain, decolonize mental health and work toward collective liberation. “decolonizing” mental health and “generational healing” are not just buzzwords to us, but they are part of the active process of unlearning practices that do harm to the community around us as well as to healers.

The sad truth is that many providers are currently unable to access trainings who have this mindset and vision because of finances. How then do we help healers to heal themselves and others? We removed the roadblocks that have been placed in front of them, one of which is capitalism.

Your donations will go towards empowering and educating decolonized healers so that they can then work with marginalized communities who deserve access to healers who can truly honor their lived experience.
