Summer/Fall Knowledge Base: Documentation That Works For You and Your Clients
Paperwork is a necessary part of therapy—but it shouldn’t take over your schedule or leave you second-guessing your case conceptualization. This Minnesota-specific series will help you streamline documentation so it supports your clinical work instead of bogging you down with administrative stress.

By learning to write these essential documents with clarity and ease, you’ll reduce the time spent on paperwork, lower frustration, and feel more confident in your assessments, treatment plans, and clinical notes.
 
Session 1: Writing a Strong Diagnostic Assessment for Minnesota Healthcare Programs
Structure assessments to meet Minnesota’s requirements without losing clinical depth—ensuring they are thorough, useful, and efficient to complete. Don’t let assessment be the barrier to starting the work.

Session 2: Clearing Up Treatment Plans
Craft actionable treatment plans that truly guide the therapy process—not just another document sitting in a file. Make them a functional part of your client work that highlights the Golden Thread connecting diagnosis to treatment.

Session 3: Clinical Notes That Respect Client Privacy
Learn how to write notes that strike the right balance—meeting standards without over-disclosing personal details. Keep your documentation ethical, effective, and aligned with client care. Learn how to adapt to the needs of the setting you’re in.

Session 4: Transparent Documentation That Strengthens Client Trust
Turn required paperwork into a tool for engagement. Open Notes doesn’t have to feel risky—learn how to use transparency to increase client buy-in and support their therapeutic progress.

Did you know? 

The Knowledge Base is part of our New Therapist Starter Kit.

We do a new term 3 times per year . Each term, the Knowledge Base focuses on a different topic to help you: 
  • Improve your practice today
  • Stay ready for the Clinical Exam 2+ years after you graduated
  • Be ready for license renewal with the number and types of Continuing Ed.
The New Therapist Starter Kit adds so much more.



What is the New Therapist Starter Kit
The New Therapist Starter Pack is a two-year program that operates in trimester modules, renewing on 4-month intervals.

Each 4-month module includes:
  • 16 hours of group supervision in 2-hour sessions twice per month, on Saturdays so it doesn’t conflict with employer demands
  • Knowledge Base: 8 Continuing Education Hours in subject areas taken from the license exam—live, once per month, or done at your own pace as independent study after the live event
    • past courses are available to you while you stay in the program
  • Bonus: A workbook to help organize your goals and the hours you obtain each trimester
  • Bonus: A comprehensive hours tracker that will help you complete every step for MN BOSW LICSW licensure when you need it, with links to the forms you need.
  • Bonus: An online community where you can ask your questions with people you have come to know and who are invested in you and your success--not some rando on the internet!
    • Moderation will be from approved license supervisors who can help make sure that you don't get bad advice.

The cohort opens 3 times per year to allow people to join and “graduate” according to their license journey, while also maintaining the stability of the group and mutual support. 


About Katherine
Helping people find their clear blue sky possibilities after their storm
Katherine Driskell, MSW, LICSW has been in the non-profit and mental health space for more than 20 years. With experience in therapy with clients from 8 to 80+, in a variety of settings, she is able to start with clients where they are, and help them reach their goals. 

Katherine has provided license supervision to social workers and professional clinical counselors for nearly a decade. At the start of her career, she sought supervision outside of her place of employment as well, knowing the value of an outside perspective. Clinicians must continually reflect on their own well-being and responses to the work they do with clients. In a safe, nurturing supervisory relationship, clinicians can become the healers they seek to be. Each year she takes on a small cohort of Clinical Social Workers and candidates for licensure as Professional Clinical Counselors for license supervision. Reach out to get on the waiting list for the next cohort here

She is a certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant-In-
Training through EMDRIA and a Certified HeartMath Interventions Practitioner. She is a member of the Minnesota Society for Clinical Social Work.
She focuses on motivated clients with clear goals. She helps them meet their goals through short-term intensive work focused directly on the origins of the blocks and beliefs that hold them back. She works with high achieving professionals and performers as well as individuals who have experienced traumas big and small. Located in the heart of the Destination Medical Center district in Rochester, Minnesota, she loves working with patients and their loved ones, doctors and providers to overcome the medical trauma that is sometimes part of healing and illness. She combines mental health and counseling knowledge and skills with cutting edge, research-supported approaches to remove barriers to achieving potential.  

She has worked for the State of Minnesota providing mental health care to clients with chronic mental and behavioral challenges. She was in a leadership position at the Mayo Clinic for five years before joining a local non-profit organization to guide a program providing mental health therapists to provide care in schools.

Katherine is available for Consultation for EMDR Therapists who have completed EMDRIA-Approved Basic Training and want to pursue certification.  Click here to join the next cohort.
