Have you ever wondered how others are practicing therapy behind closed doors? This is your chance to see inside the therapy room and learn specific strategies for how to intervene in session through our ISTDP training.
This monthly course serves as a unique opportunity for learning through video demonstrations of patient sessions, focusing on a variety of ISTDP topics. You'll explore how to understand the meaning of patient responses (psychodiagnosis), address patient avoidance strategies (restructuring anxiety pathways and defenses), help patients deeply experience and process their emotions in a healthy way (portrayals), and work with problematic relational patterns evident in the therapy relationship (transference). Participants at all levels of experience are welcome, and you may bring cases to consult on during our clinical supervision sessions.

Are you feeling frustrated, stuck, or burned out? Clinical supervision can significantly enhance both your work and your enjoyment of it.
Many clients enter therapy believing that simply showing up and talking once a week will lead to change or symptom relief. This often results in a vague hope that doesn't translate into tangible goals. Therapists may find it challenging to help clients clarify their objectives and outline the specific actions that will foster progress. It can be frustrating when clients aren’t improving or perceive therapy merely as a casual chat, expecting a magical cure. Through therapy consultation with Leslie, you will identify where the process is getting stuck, allowing you to implement interventions or new techniques to get unstuck with your clients.
The best clinicians are always pursuing growth through learning and reviewing their work. Personal and professional development is integral to the therapeutic journey. Working with Leslie will refine your clinical supervision skills, making your approach more effective and engaging. Let’s collaborate on your more challenging cases so you can return to enjoying your work!
