Introduction to the Unifying Framework for Psychotherapy
with Dr. Diane Gehart
1.5 Hours of Free CE
What if there were an easier way to do this work well?
You already know the theories. You've done the training.
But in the room with a real client, it can still feel like you're improvising—reaching for an approach and hoping it fits.
There's a better way.
The Therapy that Works Unifying Framework synthesizes 50 theories and the field's entire evidence base into one streamlined, flexible system.
It's not another theory that explains why people struggle, but a practical, step-by-step guide for what to actually do and say in session.
One framework. All clients. All problems.
Highly effective therapy...simplified.

Dr. Diane Gehart
I've spent much of my career trying to figure out how to do therapy well, going to countless workshops to learning over 50 different theoretical models.
However, after nearly 30 years as an active member of the established academic community, I have concluded that the field of mental health needs to find a better way to train its professionals — both those entering the field and those in it for decades.
I have decided to offer a saner approach to becoming a highly effective mental health professional for those who are interested.
You are welcome to join me if you, too, believe there has to be an easier way to do this work well.
