Transformative Couples Therapy®
Trauma-Informed Couples Therapy
with David Mars Ph.D.
The new 2023 Multi-Channel series begins January 12, 2023
Eight monthly two-hour webinar training sessions on Zoom
The experience of these lively interactive international webinars brings about an intimate connection to self and other.
During the Transformative Couples Therapy® Multi-Channel webinar series, we develop a secure base through cultivating conscious embodied awareness. This provides a transfer of learning from our training sessions directly into your clinical practice and your daily life.
The clinical sessions taught feature methods to use on Zoom to co-create transformative, therapeutic outcomes.
