"Wonderful! So well done. Thanks so much for a great experience."
"I am impressed with the dashboard, clear instructions, and responsiveness from the trainers and Dr. Gonzales. The small group in live webinars helped my learning. Role plays were helpful."
"The simulations that were utilized to help us understand the client experience is a game-changer and something I plan to utilize with my families and staff that work within my program. I did not really see anything that needed improvement, as all the material and the way it was taught not only kept my interest, but immediately began changing the way I worked with clients and families. It taught me what areas I was not exploring that were vital to the therapeutic process and how to find those out."
"Really one of the best trainings I've attended. Information is useful and well presented."
"Great learning environment combining different learning styles so everyone can benefit from the class."
"Exceptional training workshop! It's amazing how much you can learn about CBTp in only a few days when you are encouraged to apply and practice the training materials within the workshop. I enjoyed the practice activities that helped to round out the skills described in each section. I think that this type of engagement with the material helps to facilitate deeper learning."
"This training was useful because it gave lots of concrete examples and reminded me of some important principles (curious questions; avoiding adversarial challenges; examining beliefs) that I can use with my current patients."
"Really appreciated the interventions - feel like I have some that I could start using right away. This changes my practice in terms of how I do formulations and having more tools in my toolbox."
"Lauren was amazing. She was approachable, and helpful. I really appreciated that she didn't validate unhelpful discussions, and she was gentle in her course correction to ensure that we were learning things properly. 10/10. Would take another training from her in a heartbeat."
"I thought it was amazing. It was structured well and had a lot of useful information."
