Description

Families facing divorces, disputes, and the profound impact on children are in desperate need of expert reunification therapists. The courts often fall short in addressing these complex issues, leaving families feeling unsupported and isolated.

Here’s your chance to step in and make a real difference.

Reunification therapy is a vital, specialised field focused on repairing relationships strained by severe conflict. It offers hope, mends parental estrangement, and restores unity within families.

Why consider this opportunity?

  • You probably already have many of the skills needed to excel in this field.
  • Reunification therapy doesn’t have to be your primary focus—unless you choose it to be.
  • You can earn a rewarding income while making a meaningful impact on families’ lives.

Our comprehensive training program will teach you to use proven interventions from EMDR, ERP, ACT, and more. You’ll master resolving highconflict situations, enhancing family communication, and fostering unity. Plus, you’ll gain essential skills in conducting interviews, writing impactful reports, and navigating court proceedings with confidence.

Led by Yi Zhao Martins, a seasoned LMFT with over a decade of reunification therapy experience and advanced degrees in counseling psychology and family law, this program covers everything from securing referrals to effectively managing the court system.

Don’t miss out on this chance to become a vital resource for families in need.
