The Northwest Catholic Counseling Center

Couples Workshop 9/5-9/6/25
2025-09-05 17:30 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Virtual via zoom link
**You are registering for a two-day workshop** This option allows the couple to meet with other engaged couples in a group setting. This two-day workshop is facilitated by trained therapists, providing an introduction to important topics such as finances, rituals, continuing to date, growing old together and more. The workshop features presentations to the group and allows for each couple to work individually on exercises (some pre-work will be assigned) and activities designed to increase self-knowledge and knowledge of each other and to build skills in communication and conflict resolution. This is a great start to those important conversations you will continue throughout your marriage. In addition to other necessary skills, the workshop also presents an understanding of marriage as a covenant.
This workshop will meet virtually for 2 sessions and utilize breakout rooms for smaller group discussions:
Friday from 5:30 pm-8 pm and Saturday from 9 am-12 pm and 1 pm-4 pm. Couples MUST attend each session. Cost is $300 per couple.
Complete the registration form or send your name and a check to NCC, 8383 NE Sandy Blvd. #205, Portland, Oregon, 97220. Contact us at (503) 253-0964 or marriageprep@nwcounseling.org if you have questions.

Caring for the Caregivers Workshop
2025-09-09 17:00 - 18:00
A Gentle Hour of Self-Care & Stress Relief
This virtual workshop is led by Lu Lu, LPC, CCPT-II.
Are you a caregiver, nurse, home aide, or someone supporting an aging loved one?
You give so much to others — but who’s caring for you?
Join us for a heart-centered, empowering workshop designed just for caregivers. In this supportive space, we’ll share practical self-care tools, explore ways to manage stress, and reflect on the emotional weight of caregiving — all in a warm, understanding environment.
You’ll learn:

Simple, effective self-care habits you can start today
Stress relief strategies you can actually use
How to manage emotional fatigue and feel less alone
Free community resources for caregivers in Oregon
Encouragement, affirmation, and shared humanity

This isn’t a formal psychology class — it’s a space to breathe, connect, and remember: you matter, too.

All virtual workshops are a per-household fee.
Workshop fee is non-refundable: if unable to attend, your fee will remain as a workshop credit for six months.

A Workshop for Parent-Child Connection
Because it’s never too late to build a healthy relationship.
This virtual workshop is led by Lu Lu, LPC, CCPT-II.
Are you a parent, adult child, or caregiver who feels stuck in patterns of silence, stress, or misunderstanding? Do you sometimes feel like you’re repeating family cycles without knowing how to stop?
Join us for a community workshop exploring intergenerational relationships and the impact of family history on how we love, listen, and relate to each other. Whether your child is 6 or 60, this workshop is for anyone who wants to reconnect, repair, and grow.

Learn how trauma and mental health patterns are passed down—and how to break the cycle
Practice small but powerful communication and self-care skills
Discover Oregon-based and national resources for healing
Reflect through real-life examples, not textbook lectures
No pressure to share—we welcome quiet listeners and active participants alike

This is like a “snack-size counseling session”: supportive, practical, and filled with warmth.
