Want to be more effective but not sure how? The Intensive is a perfect way to get a general overview of Brief-Strategic Therapy and to see how it is applied to difficult to resolve problems. Discover the art of the "Strategic Dialogue," an intervention-assessment to quickly ascertain the problem and begin solving it from the very first session.  See how motivating the client for change will produce rapid results with less resistance. Understand the perceptive-reactive system and how to avoid common mistakes in treatment by applying interventions that fit with the client's worldview. Most Intensives are one day; the AAMFT Approved Supervisor Intensive is four days (two weekends). California CEU's for MFT's and LCSW's available. Space is limited, register today!
