These consultation groups are for licensed therapists who want to increase their understanding of couples therapy and their skills in working with couples. We will learn couples therapy using the case study method. At each meeting, we will discuss two cases from our practices. You are invited to present a case of yours if you'd like to. You are not required to present a case. You have the option of posing a clinical question instead, or just learning from the other cases presented.

In each case discussion we will do our best to answer the therapist's questions. We usually discuss how to proceed at a difficult juncture in therapy. We discuss how to help that particular couple, and we discuss the principles and interventions that can be used with similar couples in everyone's practice.

It's a very practical method. You learn skills to use, and interventions to consider. You also learn the art of deciding what-to-do-when -- how a couples therapist considers many different ideas, theories, and interventions -- and chooses which to do when and with whom.

When you do discuss a case of yours, you can use any format you like. Some people make detailed, lengthy case presentations. Others just briefly describe their couple, and then ask the question that they are facing.

These consultation groups are open to all therapists -- psychologists, social workers, counselors, marriage and family therapists, and pastoral counselors. All meetings are online, on Zoom.

You earn 2 CE hours per meeting.
