Led by an exceptional team of experienced clinicians—including Kris Marowski, Dr. Alyse November, Stephanie Newberg, Dr. Beverly Smith, and Keith Wilson—this course bundle draws on decades of experience across family therapy, play therapy, trauma work, and conflict resolution. Each instructor brings lived clinical expertise and deep insight into how professionals can support clients with compassion, structure, and effectiveness.
With a blend of theory, practical strategies, and powerful real-world case illustrations, these self-paced courses are designed to provide not just education, but transformation in your clinical practice. You’ll explore cutting-edge models of therapy, develop structured frameworks for play therapy and reconciliation, and gain confidence in ethically managing high-stakes cases involving custody, infidelity, alienation, and more.
Topics covered include therapeutic approaches to high-conflict divorce; play therapy interventions for family restructuring; infidelity’s impact on individuals and systems; clinical strategies for co-parenting, blended families, and parental alienation; and a full reconciliation framework for navigating betrayal and emotional repair. Additional themes include trauma-informed care, ethical engagement in court-involved cases, therapist countertransference, and culturally responsive treatment in telehealth.
