Unlimited Free Psychotherapy Training

My colleagues and I offer unlimited free weekly psychotherapy training and “emotional tune-ups” for mental health professionals in Northern California. The training groups are located at Stanford as well as San Francisco, Berkeley, Sacramento. Several low-cost paid training groups are also available at the new Feeling Good Institute in Mountain View, California. Click here for more information on times, locations, and individuals to contact for the T.E.A.M. Therapy training groups.

We also hope to be able to offer inexpensive weekly training groups via Skype or Google Hangouts early next year. This will give therapists around the United States and worldwide the chance to participate in our weekly training programs.

Individual Psychotherapy Mentoring, Training, and Consultation

You’ll find many superb therapists and teachers listed at www.FeelingGoodInstitute.com. They are available for psychotherapy training as well as for treatment, including intensives.

T.E.A.M. Therapy Certification

My colleagues at the Feeling Good Institute have recently developed a T.E.A.M. Therapy certification program. There are three levels of therapist certification as well as one level of trainer certification. It’s inexpensive and easy to get started. Level 1 Certification only requires you to read my psychotherapy eBook and attend two of my two-day workshops or one four day intensive. If you are participating in one of our weekly training groups, that experience along with reading the eBook, will also be sufficient even without attending workshops.
