This in-person training is intended for those who would like to learn clinical concepts live and in-person within a community of professionals who do similar work. I find this helps attendees to absorb, integrate, and apply the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy most effectively. The materials have been carefully selected so you can leave this training with the most foundational elements to bring to your clients immediately. Audio recordings, training transcripts, and handouts will be available to attendees for reference.

Other helpful information: 

Fiona has been working with relational clients for fifteen years and knows first-hand that working with couples can be incredibly rewarding and also some of the most challenging work for therapists. Before being introduced to the Developmental Model, it was common for Fiona to feel overworked while constantly questioning their own clinical abilities. 

 

The Developmental Model, founded by Dr. Ellyn Bader and Dr. Peter Pearson, has fundamentally changed the way Fiona and hundreds of other relational therapists work with their clients.
