The CBT skills training opportunity you’ve been waiting for…

Do you have a client who everyone else has given up on?

They’ve seen multiple therapists, without the relief they want and deserve. 

Maybe you feel stuck with this client — and at this point, even the client believes they are not capable of getting better.

You can offer them hope…with powerful and practical interventions that are proven to WORK.

Evidence points to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as the single most effective treatment for many chronic, recurring, and challenging mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, addiction, personality disorders, OCD, PTSD, trauma and more.

In this intensive CBT certificate course, you’ll master a fresh set of clinical tools and skills that will transform your practice. This is NOT a “one-strategy-fits-all” approach. Rather, this online CBT course offers you a complete collection of practical ways to integrate empirically supported techniques into your very next session.

In this intensive certificate course, you’ll master the skills and competencies of CBT, preparing you to apply CBT with a wide variety of clinical populations.
