Therapy with Men Testimonials

Mark LaChapelle, MSW, LICSW, LMFT, BCD
Psychotherapist

“Psychotherapy often involves helping clients peel back layers of their life journeys. Jeffry’s ideas about identifying and positively transforming unconsciously held core negative beliefs have a powerful complementarity with this process. Following initial resistance to the experiential aspects of the workshop, I found the exercises to be personally and professionally rich and meaningful.  I tapped into these new tools immediately in my subsequent work with clients.”

Kerry Speed, MA, LADC
Former Psychotherapist and Chemical Dependency Counselor

“Prior to this workshop, I thought that the content on core beliefs and integrative psychotherapy was going to be dry and theoretical.   Was I ever wrong!  This workshop was inspiring, powerful, and helped me see that I have many creative juices that have yet to flow in my clinical work. Jeffry presented masterfully with a unique blend of excellent dyad and demo work, engaging concepts, and artful presentation.  I will be at the April training.”

Dodi Thorman, MA, LICSW
Psychotherapist

“I needed CEU’s and thought this would be an okay way to get them.  I did not anticipate that I would walk away from this workshop feeling as empowered and excited as I do!  What a fabulous workshop.  The content on adult mature Self-supporting the regressed Self, was awesome, and I especially liked the artful melding of EMDR with imagery and other techniques you used in the demos.  Great humor, with practical content and easy to use skills…a joy to be there.  I am looking forward to your April training!”
