Family Therapy Training For Therapists

Yes. It’s not a lecture on abstract theory nor is it just a repeat of the foundations of family therapy I find this model of therapy to contain aspects of relational family therapy, as well as being solution-focused therapy. It’s a step-by-step blueprint. From the first family call to the first session, you’ll see exactly what to do, supported by case studies, interventions, and real examples.

No, if you’re looking for CE credits, this isn’t the right fit, and it does not give continuing education offerings But if you want to learn how to actually run structural family sessions with tools and case studies, you’re in the right place.

Absolutely. Each module comes with handouts, cheat sheets, and printable PDFs. You’ll walk away with resources you can use immediately in sessions.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly a decade of experience. I’ve worked in high schools, residential treatment centers, served as lead family therapist, and later as clinical director. I’ve trained staff, supervised therapists, and helped hundreds of families.

Not at all. Most of us marriage and family therapists or social workers were introduced to family systems in grad school, but often in a way that was heavy on theory and light on application. This training goes deeper into thehow — it gives you step-by-step blueprints for what to do when a family calls, what to focus on in first sessions, and how to run systemic interventions. Even if you’ve had exposure before, this is where you see it in action, with case studies and real interventions.

No. The course was designed with both graduate students and practicing therapists social workers or professional counselors in mind. It breaks down complex systemic ideas into clear, practical steps and provides handouts, cheat sheets, and examples so you can follow along. If you’re early in your career, it will give you a roadmap and confidence for your first family sessions; if you’re more experienced, it will sharpen your skills with new strategies.

The full course is $59.99 — intentionally priced to be accessible for graduate students, early-career clinicians, and seasoned therapists alike. Comparable family therapy trainings often run into the hundreds of dollars. My goal is to make this level of systemic training affordable without compromising quality, so you get a practical toolkit at a fraction of the usual cost. The training at Hunter College /  Silberman School of Social Work is exceptional, and $5000. There are also great and affordable options for eco-systemic family based treatment at Pennsylvania's FBMHS program too.

It’s both, you need to know the theory to really get the practice. You’ll get the essentials of Minuchin’s structural theory, but the emphasis is on applying it: assessment models, hypothesis tools, interventions, and case studies.

Yes. The course is fully online, designed for you to take at your own pace, and accessible worldwide. You can start anytime and revisit materials whenever you need. At $59.99, it’s intentionally priced below most comparable structural family systems trainings, which often require live attendance and a much higher investment. Here, you get flexible access and practical tools without the scheduling or financial barriers.
