FOR CLINICIANS
Help your clients do the work between sessions.
Trainings, consultation, and practical tools for therapists who want their clients to keep making progress after the hour is up.
The relationship is necessary. It isn't sufficient.
We've spent years hearing that the therapeutic relationship is what heals. It matters, and no technique works without it. But a warm, trusting relationship is where therapy starts, not where it ends.
Clients change when they learn specific skills and practice them in daily life. That means our job includes teaching well, assigning practice that actually gets done, and reviewing it in ways that build momentum. Those are learnable clinical skills, and most of us were never trained in them in depth.
Beyond the Session is about closing that gap: bringing the science of technique back into the room, and helping clients carry it out the door.
Trainings for teams and training programs
Practical, research-grounded workshops for group practices, hospitals, community mental health centers, and graduate training programs. Available live or virtually, as grand rounds, half-day workshops, or multi-session series.
