Pop Up CBT Road Trip IS BACK for May-June 2024
Padesky and Mooney are traveling over 7200 miles from the West to the East Coasts to bring brief Pop Up CBT training to students, therapists and researchers in various clinics and Universities. These small group meetings will include interactive discussions and clinical demonstrations that marry structure with a collaborative, client-centered, strengths-based therapy approach.
The focus of 2024 Pop Up CBT Road Trip is on discovery and boosting skills. The topics are flexible and differ from location to location:
- Common clinical traps and through role play demonstrations, how Socratic Dialogue can help therapists avoid or resolve them
- How to improve client adherence with therapy action plans: simple interventions you can use in the opening and closing minutes of a session that will increase
client engagement in planning and completing between session action steps - Discussion with colleagues on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in CBT practice
- Meet and greet with colleagues along the way – preferably for wine & cheese tasting!
Participants are welcome to bring Padesky’s books to their Pop Up CBT Road Trip event for her to sign. A limited number of her books may also be available for sale onsite.
2024 Pop Up CBT Road Trip begins in Huntington Beach, California on May 1, 2024.

Padesky and Mooney take the Dialogues for Discovery book on a 21 day road trip through parts of Central and Northern California. Dialogues for Discovery is edited by Christine A, Padesky and Helen Kennerley, Oxford University Press 2023. To keep our titles a bit shorter, we refer to the book as Dialogues 4 Discovery or D4D.
For much of 2020-2022, due to the worldwide pandemic, we were either on lockdown or had limited access to safely travel. So, Padesky used this time to work on two books and conduct lots of POP UP type CBT Zoom events,
We left Huntington Beach, California on June 29, 2019 for our cross-country tour. We conducted Pop Up CBT events as well as some meet and greets in Burnsville (Minnesota), Cape Cod (Massachusetts), Providence (Rhode Island), Ottawa and Toronto (Canada), Traverse City (Michigan), Marshalltown (Iowa), Des Moines (Iowa), and Lincoln (Nebraska). Our tour ended back in Huntington Beach, California on August 18, 2019 after 7,770 miles.

Why Are We Doing This?
After several decades of large group workshops, Padesky and Mooney relish the opportunity to meet with small groups of therapists.
Padesky: I have an affinity for therapists who work outside major urban areas and who do not often have access to training. I look forward to offering more affordable training to therapists and graduate students who cannot travel to attend the large workshops.
Mooney: We have gone full in electric, with solar panels, a power wall and a Tesla Model X. We are both excited about the possibility of affecting climate change and perhaps encouraging others to lower their carbon foot print.
We love working together, meeting bright, interesting, dedicated therapists. We both had tired of all the months of advance planning and scheduling our large scale workshops required. We believe we can identify everyday issues, barriers, and challenges that therapists face when providing sophisticated, empirically supported CBT. We want to target those issues in brief, succinct, ready to use formats through our Pop Up CBT offerings.
What does that license plate mean?
We are driving in a Tesla Model X, an all electric SUV. In addition to teaching CBT, we are hoping to demonstrate that it is totally possible to travel everywhere in an electric vehicle. This is a behavioral experiment on our part but it has full empirical support (i.e. evidence based)! So in our Model X we are “amped up” about the possibilities.
