Advanced Therapy Courses in MI for Clinicians

Therapy Courses for Deeper Clinical Mastery

At Mindful ISTDP, we offer therapy courses in Michigan (MI) and beyond, that are designed for clinicians who want to deepen their therapeutic skills and create meaningful breakthroughs with patients. Rooted in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), our curriculum guides therapists in understanding defense patterns, integrating emotion-focused interventions, and facilitating a genuine shift toward healthier internal dynamics. Through our ISTDP-informed approach, we help therapists identify blind spots, expand clinical confidence, and deliver more impactful sessions with long-term benefits for clients.

A Curriculum Designed for Professional Growth

Our therapy courses emphasize deliberate practice, targeted skill development, and a framework of support to guide your clinical work. We provide counseling classes online, in-person, and hybrid so clinicians can access advanced learning at their convenience while still engaging with the depth and rigor that ISTDP demands. Each module blends theory with real-world application, enabling therapists to develop more effective strategies, gain greater clarity on how to help clients, and reduce burnout. Whether you are new to clinical practice, are refining your foundational ISTDP skills, or exploring advanced interventions, our courses support continuous evolution in your clinical work.

Therapist Training for Real and Lasting Change

We designed our online counseling classes to support therapists who want to strengthen their therapeutic presence and value continuous improvement in Michigan (MI), the Midwest, and across the nation. We ensure that each participant gains practical experience they can immediately apply to client sessions through our commitment to providing supervised practice, immersive clinical exercises, and a structured learning progression. Our goal is to help you cultivate the competence and confidence necessary to create real and lasting change—within yourself as a therapist and within those you serve.
