I’m currently designing a series of short-term trainings for early career clinicians who want a clear, grounded introduction to contextual behavioral therapies. These trainings are intended to support clinicians who are seeking a stronger sense of theoretical orientation—something that is often underdeveloped or inconsistently supported in early career clinical settings.
The trainings will draw from core principles shared across contextual behavioral therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Rather than teaching these models as protocols, the focus will be on helping clinicians understand the underlying contextual and functional assumptions that unite them—and how those assumptions can guide clinical decision-making in real time.
The emphasis will be on:
Learning how to think contextually and functionally about distress, behavior, and change
Situating yourself within a coherent theoretical frame that can orient your clinical work
Translating theory into moment-to-moment therapeutic choices
Experiential learning, reflection, and practical application to everyday clinical encounters
These trainings are especially well-suited for early career clinicians who want more than techniques—clinicians who want to understand why they are doing what they’re doing in the therapy room, and who are looking for a framework that can flex across clients, settings, and presenting concerns.
This training series is currently in the process of being developed. Specific details regarding structure, format, and timing are still emerging. If you’re interested in learning more or would like to be notified as these offerings take shape, I invite you to leave your contact information below. This is simply a way to express interest and stay informed as the trainings become available.
No commitment required—just a way to stay connected.
