As a therapist, you’ve likely seen the frustration and exhaustion in your clients’ eyes – the weight of anxiety that never fully lifts, the heaviness of depression that keeps pulling them back.
You’ve guided them through traditional interventions, but for some, progress is slow, inconsistent, or even stagnant. The reality is that anxiety and depression are complex, deeply personal experiences that don’t fit neatly into one-size-fits-all treatment models.
When clients don’t respond to standard approaches, it can leave both therapist and client feeling defeated.
Join Dr. Ashley Smith, author of The Way I See It: A Psychologist’s Guide to a Happier Life, to stop merely managing symptoms and begin to address the full spectrum of factors contributing to anxiety and depression - biological, psychological, social, existential, and lifestyle-based.
This 3-hour course will give you everything you need to get started on your path to providing truly holistic care. You’ll learn:
Through case studies, hands-on exercises, and an ethical lens on whole-person care, you will learn how to craft individualized, dynamic treatment plans that empower your clients to heal – not just cope.
Join us to explore a new way forward - one that treats the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
