Rigorous and immersive training for mental health professionals.
Our courses are designed for psychologists, counselors, marriage and family therapists, and social workers and are built from research-based and clearly articulated core clinical competencies.
Retreat Scheduled for March 15-17, 2025
In this guided retreat, we will explore the power of stories in our lives. Through guided poetics, sand scenes, journaling, and drawing, the emerging stories give way to meaningful turns in one’s life path.
It is a time to empower the wisdom of your intuitive, instinctual self, so essential in every aspect of daily life. It is a time to strengthen healing stories and reconnect with parts of you that may be lost in the rush of everyday stress. It is a time to pause for Being rather than Producing.
For those interested in earning 18 CEs, an immersive experience is offered.
New Video from The Person of the Therapist Series
In this episode, Dr. Dee speaks with child and family therapist, Taylor Lake, LCPC, NCC. Taylor is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor at a Youth Services Bureau in Maryland. She works with families and children (as young as three) individually and in groups.
Dr. Dee and Taylor discuss empathy, connection, and allowing ourselves to learn from our professional and life experiences outside of being therapists, and to bring that wisdom gleaned into the professional role as a therapist. They talk about heart, openness and boundaries, the importance of fun, how children get baggage put upon them–and how therapists who work with children can attend to this. As usual in this series, Dr. Dee invites Taylor to share symbols that resonate with her experience as a therapist, and Taylor shares who she is, what she values, stories of learning from clients, and how she would change therapist education.
