CBT and DBT are some of the most trusted approaches in psychotherapy.

Because the skills clients gain from these evidence-based therapies are so effective at putting them in charge of their emotions.

And let’s face it. No matter what you treat, if clients can’t regulate their emotions, therapy is going to get nowhere.

That’s why we created this all-new training with Corey Pitts. Corey is a seasoned counselor who’s helped countless licensed clinicians up their game in CE trainings where students call him “one of the best instructors” they’ve ever learned from.

Now he’ll share a toolbox of the DBT and CBT interventions he’s found most effective at reducing emotional overwhelm, building distress tolerance, and creating lasting emotional stability for clients.

The techniques he’ll share are easy to learn, simple to apply with clients right away, and can help the vast majority of clients who walk through your door …

… whether you work in private practice, community mental health, intensive outpatient settings, schools or almost any setting.

You’ll walk away from this training ready to:

  • “Let the air out” of distressing thoughts so they lose their power
  • Quickly increase clients’ positive emotions using proven behavioral activation strategies
  • De-catastrophize worst-case thinking that fuels anxiety and panic
  • Challenge thinking errors that keep clients stuck in shame, guilt, and hopelessness

Whether you’re a newer practitioner looking to build your toolbox with the best techniques available, or a seasoned pro wanting to brush up on proven approaches, this training is sure to build your skill and confidence.

So don’t wait.
