✨ EXHIBITOR SPOTLIGHT | Nutrition Counseling Center ✨

We first met Patrizia Jesue at one of our very first networking events years ago.

And since then, Patrizia and the Nutrition Counseling Center team have become THE people we turn to when a child, teen, or family we’re working with needs specialized nutrition support as part of their care team. 💚

Patrizia has more than 20 years of experience specializing in eating disorders and weight-inclusive nutrition counseling, and she has built a team with expertise across:

🥣 Eating disorders + disordered eating
🌱 ARFID + picky eating
🤍 Body image + intuitive eating
👨‍👩‍👧 Family + pediatric nutrition
🏃‍♀️ Sports + performance nutrition
🩺 Medical nutrition therapy

Their approach centers food freedom, body peace, joyful movement, and helping people build healthier relationships with food and their bodies—without making weight the measure of health.

And importantly for those of us referring clients: they believe strongly in treatment-team collaboration. Therapists. Dietitians. Physicians. Psychiatrists. School professionals. Families. Coaches. 💚 Complex concerns deserve collaborative care.

If you work with kids, teens, families, athletes, or clients navigating eating and body-image concerns, ADD PATRIZIA + NUTRITION COUNSELING CENTER TO YOUR REFERRAL LIST.

And if you’re joining us September 18, make sure you stop by their table, meet Patrizia, and learn more about her team!

✨ BREAKOUT SESSION SPOTLIGHT ✨

LISTEN FULLY. RESPOND INTENTIONALLY. From Stuck to Change.

Featuring members of the Autana Family Therapy Center clinical team:
💙 Jennifer Floyd Korenchuk, PhD, LPC
💙 Colleen Reveley, LMSW
💙 Henry Marcano, LPC, EAGLA
💙 Kristi Torretti, LLPC

Therapists are really good at caring.
Sometimes that can also mean carrying a LOT.
Every problem feels like it needs a solution.
Every emotion needs a response.
Every silence needs a question.

And when a client feels stuck?

Sometimes we start working even harder.

More questions. More strategies. More interventions. More pressure on ourselves to find the thing that finally creates movement.

But becoming a stronger clinician isn't always about adding more.

🔎 Sometimes it's about understanding more deeply.
What are we hearing?
What are we noticing?
What matters most right now?
And what actually needs our response?

That’s where clinical discernment and sustainability meet. When we understand more deeply, we can respond more intentionally —without feeling responsible for grabbing every thread, finding every answer, or carrying the entire process of change ourselves.

🧠 WHAT WE’LL DO TOGETHER
In this interactive breakout session, we’ll work through a real clinical scenario —slowing down the moment, noticing what we might normally rush to respond to, and exploring how different clinical choices can either keep us working harder or help create movement.

Expect conversation, reflection, and practical strategies you can bring back to your next session.
👂 Hear more.
🔎 Understand more deeply.
💙 Respond more intentionally.

✨ Because caring more doesn't have to mean carrying more. ✨

Join Jenn, Colleen, Henry + Kristi for this breakout session at:

💗 SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT: KATIE HARDY

Some careers are chosen. ✨ Some choose us.

Katie Hardy's path into su***de prevention began with profound personal loss.

A survivor of ten su***de losses, beginning with the death of her mother in 2003, Katie transformed those experiences into advocacy, leadership, connection, and action.

She went on to found Six Feet Over, a Michigan-based nonprofit dedicated to su***de prevention and postvention support.

🏆 Named the 2017 American Association of Suicidology Loss Survivor of the Year, Katie has helped shape su***de-prevention work across Michigan and nationally.

Her leadership has included work with the 988 Lived Experience Committee, Michigan Su***de Prevention Council, Lifeline initiatives, state su***de-prevention planning, and national collaborations.

But what we're most excited for Katie to bring on September 18th is her lived experience. Her honesty. And her perspective on what happens when deeply personal experiences become the work you dedicate your life to. 💗

🎤 KATIE'S SESSION: The Work That Chose Me: Loss, Purpose, and a Career in Su***de Prevention

It gets right to the heart of why we created Staying Connected to Your Why.

Because this conference isn't just about learning more ways to do the work.

✨ It's about figuring out how we keep doing work that matters without losing ourselves in it.

✨ EXHIBITOR SPOTLIGHT: OVVE ACCOUNTING SOLUTIONS ✨

This one is personal for me (jenn).

I’ve known Adela Low for several years, beginning when she was a student in a couple of my classes at OU. Counseling was her second career, and she was working as an accountant while fully immersing herself in her graduate studies.

She was the ideal student—she read every book, article, and resource and consistently wanted more. Just as often, she shared books and resources with me, too. We’ve stayed connected over the years, often running into one another at workshops, conferences, and networking events where Adela continues to learn and build relationships within the mental health community.

Eventually, she opened OVVE Accounting Solutions so she could continue doing the accounting work she loved. Now, as she transitions into clinical work, she brings something many therapists and practice owners really need —a strong understanding of the financial side of running a practice.

Through OVVE Solutions, Adela and Megan support therapists, service-based businesses, and nonprofits with:

• Bookkeeping
• Payroll and compliance
• Financial reporting
• Budget and cash-flow planning
• Nonprofit reporting and grant tracking

Please enjoy the obligatory “business partners pretending to work together” photos. 😂 Adela and Megan chose the front steps; Colleen and I went with coordinating laptops and teacups. I am fairly confident no actual work occurred during either photo.

Stop by the OVVE table at the conference, meet Adela and Megan, and ask some of those financial questions you have been putting off. 💚💜

A quick book rec from the Autana team for our fellow therapists and friends in helping professions!

We love talking about how therapists can make our careers not only more sustainable, but also more fulfilling and more enjoyable - and this book is all about that!

TLDR : Therapist burnout isn’t solved by better work/life balance alone, or doing self care outside of work. Instead, (in addition to advocating for systemic changes) you have to change how you show up at work, how you go into sessions, and how you process sessions afterward, all throughout your work day.

And if you’re interested in talking with other therapists about this topic, might we invite you to our upcoming September 18th conference, Staying Connected to Your Why?

✨ OPENING KEYNOTE SPOTLIGHT: DR. NAPOLEON HARRINGTON ✨

There are people who understand our profession from every angle—from the therapy room and classroom to the boardroom and the places where policy is shaped.

Dr. Napoleon Harrington is one of those people. 💙

As clinicians navigate shifting systems, workforce challenges, access barriers, insurace changes, and legislative uncertainty, we need leaders who can help us understand what is changing without losing sight of why our work matters.

As a counselor, educator, practice owner, board member, and advocate, Dr. Harrington brings that rare combination of experience, clarity, and steady leadership.

His opening keynote - The Counselor the Moment Requires: Leadership, Advocacy, and Professional Identity in a Changing Profession - will explore what this moment asks of us and how we can remain grounded, connected, and prepared to help shape what comes next.

We are so grateful to have Dr. Harrington opening our second annual Staying Connected to Your Why conference—and we would love to have you in the room.

✨ EXHIBITOR SPOTLIGHT ✨

There are people who see a gap in our profession and decide to build what they wish existed. Samantha Barash is one of those people. 🤍

Private practice can offer so much freedom and possibility.

It can also be incredibly isolating.

Samantha understood that clinicians need more than four walls and a place to see clients.

We need COMMUNITY.

We need CONNECTION.

We need spaces where the people who spend their days supporting everyone else can feel supported, too.

🤍 That’s the idea behind The Practice Collective.

Samantha is a registered dietitian, entrepreneur, and community builder who created The Practice Collective in Southfield as a membership-based coworking space specifically for mental health and wellness professionals.

And yes—the space itself is GORGEOUS. 😍

Beautiful, fully equipped private offices. HIPAA-compliant spaces designed for clinicians. Flexible options for private practice.

But what we really love is what Samantha is creating AROUND the space.

✨ Connection with other professionals

✨ Private Practice Strategy Hours

✨ Workshops + collaborative events

✨ Conversations about the real business of private practice

✨ Opportunities to share resources, ideas, and referrals

✨ A professional community where you don’t have to figure everything out alone

Because making this work more sustainable isn’t always asking clinicians to become better at doing everything themselves.

We need to build better communities AROUND the people doing the work.

〰️ A space built for the people who hold space for everyone else. 〰️

And THAT is why having Samantha and The Practice Collective at Staying Connected to Your Why feels so right.

Our conference is about more than earning CEs. It’s about creating a room where therapists can learn, reconnect, find practical resources, meet people doing interesting things in our field, and hopefully walk away feeling a little more supported in the work they do every day.

We cannot wait for you to meet Samantha and learn more about what she’s building for our Metro Detroit mental health and wellness community. 🤍

08/10/2026

Parenting comes with all kinds of intense emotions and tough moments. Luckily, regulating your nervous system doesn’t have to be complicated. Just taking a few moments to pause and give yourself buffer can make all the difference.

And if you’d like to learn more about this topic, we invite you to join us this September for our new Calm Parenting Workshop, facilitated by our amazing Kristi Torretti!

Register to save your spot: https://www.autanafamilytherapycenter.com/store/p/calm-parenting-2026

You want to show up calm, connected, and loving in tough parenting moments. But right now, it feels like a struggle.

Your child’s behavior triggers big emotions in you. You respond in ways you don’t like. Then comes the shame.

The good news: You can change this pattern. There is a simple, 3-step approach you can use tonight to help you show up differently.

This workshop walks you through each step with scripts, strategies, and a fridge-ready handout to make it easy to apply at home.

You’ll learn how to:
- Pause & regulate your own nervous system first during stressful moments
- Co-regulate and calmly connect with your child during conflict
- Make thoughtful decisions about consequences

Leave with a clear plan to stay connected with your kids, even in hard moments.
