This advanced-level program is designed to develop functional clinical Spanish skills for therapeutic practice, grounded in The Skilled Helper Model by Gerard Egan. Through a structured, experiential approach, participants learn to communicate ethically and effectively with Spanish-speaking clients across diverse helping contexts. The curriculum emphasizes communication for safety, alliance-building, and meaning-making rather than grammatical perfection, aligning language use with core therapeutic competencies (Egan, 2018). By integrating language learning with the three stages of Egan’s model—Exploration, Understanding, and Action—participants strengthen their ability to support client agency, foster therapeutic alliance, and translate insight into concrete steps.

Aligned with Egan Stage III, this session teaches Spanish for brief interventions and action planning. Participants learn language for identifying next steps, selecting coping strategies, and setting small, realistic goals that honor client agency. 

We practice collaborative planning, troubleshooting barriers, and strengthening commitment using respectful phrasing. Participants also learn how to summarize action plans and document them clearly.
