The Ultimate Couples Therapy Toolkit equips clinicians to master couples therapy by boosting confidence, navigating resistance, and using the Couples Conflict Roadmap to adaptively meet clients’ needs.

The course also trains therapists to screen effectively, ensuring commitment from couples and avoiding sabotage dynamics. It explores topics like discernment counseling, rebuilding trust after infidelity, and working with resistance as a growth opportunity.

At the end of this course, you'll be able to:

Describe the continuum of interventions, from dyadic to triadic therapist involvement, and identify where specific intervention types fall along the continuum.

Identify contexts in which interventions can be introduced and demonstrate strategies for obtaining couple buy-in before implementing them.

Explain the core purpose and structure of Discernment Counseling.

Identify strategies for redirecting common challenging dynamics during sessions by promoting dyadic interaction early in the session.

This led them to create the Gay Relationship Revolution 9-Step Roadmap, a structured approach designed to help LGBTQ+ couples navigate unique challenges – from internalized shame and body image struggles to exploring different relationship models, identity exploration, and the lasting impact of coming out on partnership dynamics.
