monthly
advanced training.
Each month, we will investigate the nuances of Brief Therapy through the presentation of case examples and role-plays. This is the perfect opportunity to examine how the model can be applied in specific situations and to hone your Brief Therapy skills. This course assumes that you have a basic understanding of the model—either through independent study or training. This is a small group experience meant to enhance participation and learning. Enrollment is limited.

live demonstrations.
One of the most valuable ways to learn about any therapeutic model is by watching others practice it...and yet, opportunities to do so are exceedingly rare. Our intention with these live sessions is to make it easier for you to watch us work with the Brief Therapy model. Each session will feature a different "client"—someone acting either as themselves or as someone they know. The therapist will have no prior warning about what the topic might be so as to simulate a real session as much as possible.

call for volunteers: we count on volunteers to be the “client” for these live demonstrations. Volunteers can present a problem of their own or of someone else. All situations must be real to approximate an actual session. Volunteers need not work in the field—anyone willing to participate in a live session is welcome. All participants in a role play are offered one free 1:1 follow-up session.

annual conference.
This is a “boutique” experience in which we limit the number of participants so as to foster an intimate environment conducive to engagement and interaction. Presentations at this event have included specific clinical themes such as when to separate couples in therapy versus when to keep them together. There is always at least one live session to illustrate the model and to dissect nuances in the work.
