From the event organizers:

Sonoma County DYKE MARCH is an inclusive, grassroots, intergenerational movement bringing together Lesbian, Queer, Transgender, Non-Binary, Sapphic people, the full LGBTQIA2S+ spectrum, and our allies to resist attacks on our rights, bodies, and lives.​

We honor the legacy of the Lesbians and Queer women who have been the backbone of social justice movements. We uplift Elder Lesbians, reclaim the word Dyke as a symbol of pride and defiance, and bestow this legacy on the next generation.

We organize amid immense and escalating backlash against trans lives, queer rights, reproductive freedom, marriage equality, racial justice, immigrant communities, and democracy itself. Too many have sacrificed too much for us to stand by while our rights erode.

Silence is not an option.

We march for visibility, dignity, and justice.
 
We say: Not here. Not now. Not ever.

The DYKE MARCH march is a short walk to Old Courthouse Square where Lez-A-Palooza events await. All events and booths will be interactive. We are creating a place where strangers become teammates, where art is created together, where we all rediscover play, and share laughter, joy, and connection. We hope that with spontaneous encounters, we can transform the square into a living village.

RECAMFT CARE Circle: Compassion, Acknowledgement, Recharge, Empower

We can support each other!

• Monday, September 14, 2026
• 9:30 am - 11:00 am Pacific
  
• Zoom Meeting

    

The RECAMFT CARE (Compassion, Acknowledgement, Recharge and Empower) Circle was created as a safe space for us as a community of therapists who are also human.  

It is a place to come to share challenges and successes, seek support, offer compassion, share wisdom and express gratitude and be uplifted.  We hold much for our clients and in our own lives; this is a brief time to set down our load for a moment and bring in light and lightness.
    
The group is informal, small and relaxed.  We share work and/or personal struggles and triumphs, express gratitude, witness each other and give support; and advice if asked for.  We also share uplifting readings, quotes or any other medium that inspires or comforts. And we often laugh!

Pat Hromalik, 2026 RECAMFT President and CARE Circle Coordinator and Jacob Lapides, our new CARE Circle Facilitator      

Besides this one, one more CARE Circle meeting is planned for 2026:

•   Wed 11/18/26 @ 6pm

Beyond these meetings, we are hoping to be able to offer the group at different days/times to allow for more access for members. Please check back for more possible dates as they are scheduled.

Getting Unstuck: Hard-to-Identify OCD Symptoms that Can Prevent Treatment Progress

Presented by

Brian Crites, LMFT & Litsa Tanner, LMFT

Friday, September 18th, 2026

9:00 am - 12:00 pm PT

2.5 CEs - On Zoom

Course Description

Everybody knows about contamination and excessive washing OCD, however, the lesser known, and harder to differentiate subtypes of OCD, such as harm, sexual, and suicidal obsessions, can cause treatment challenges, and stump even the most seasoned of clinicians. This presentation will help clinicians gain the knowledge and confidence necessary to differentiate between OCD and other mental health disorders with similar presentations. This will enable therapists to identify and engage the most effective treatments for their clients, leading to better outcomes, less client drop outs, and less therapist burnout. This course is appropriate for all clinicians of all experience levels.

Educational Goals

This training will explain the difference between OCD and other similar clinical presentations. The presenters will discuss client presentations where treatment of OCD is contraindicated using non-specialized interventions.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to:

1. Differentiate between OCD and other mental health conditions with similar features (Autism, GAD, Suicidal Ideation, Homicidal Ideation, Pedophilia,
   Psychosis and other delusional disorders).
2. Identify client symptoms that indicate need for referral to an OCD specialist are indicated, and how to discuss the referral with their client.
3. Name 3 different evidence-based treatments shown to be effective in treating OCD.
4. Explain why common interventions (i.e. reframing, cognitive restructuring, and normalizing) can be contraindicated in the treatment of OCD.
5. Assess and determine when common treatments for other anxiety disorders are ineffective due to co-occurring OCD symptoms.
6. Differentiate between cultural religious practices and clinically significant compulsive behavior.
7. Recognize OCD presentations of compulsive doubting of sexual identity versus genuine sexual identify exploration.
8. Identify clinically significant compulsive cleaning and grooming compared to culturally informed cleanliness habits.
9. Differentiate between concerns informed by historical and intergenerational trauma vs. obsessive fears about persecution or danger.
   
   

About Our Speakers

Brian Crites, LMFT

Brian Crites, LMFT has been specializing in working with anxiety disorders and OCD since 2014. He began his career at Santa Rosa Center for CBT where he received extensive training in the treatment of anxiety disorders, OCD, and OC spectrum disorders including Trichotillomania and Compulsive Skin Picking. Outside of working at SRCBT, he has worked at Kaiser Permanente's Child Psychiatry Department where he facilitated their OCD group therapy for adolescents, and where he provided extensive trainings on the diagnosis and treatment of OCD. Additionally, he is a member of IOCDF as well as The Trichotillomania Learning Center and has presented at their annual conference. Brian has served on the Board of Directors of RECAMFT since 2025.

Litsa Tanner, LMFT

Litsa Tanner, LMFT began her career as a therapist in 1998, treating children, adolescents, and adults. Although she has used a variety of therapeutic approaches over the years, she has always been drawn to the practical skills based nature of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT). Consistently she found that when using CBT, her clients got better faster and reported higher levels of overall satisfaction with their therapy. Over time she began to focus her personal development as a therapist predominantly in the use of CBT and continues to do so today. She feels that the learning process as a therapist never ends. She consults regularly with experts in the field and attends advanced trainings in CBT in order to provide the highest quality of services possible.She received advanced training in the treatment of OCD from Drs. Paul and Arna Munford, and was a clinical staff member at the Cognitive Behavior Therapy Center for OCD & Anxiety. She is also a graduate of the Trichotillomania Learning Center Professional Training Institute.
