Transform Your Practice and Your Life

What if doing therapy were easy for you?

• Confidence: What would it be like if you were totally confident in your ability to help any client who walked into your office?
• Income Potential: How would your career path be different if every client who came to you reliably improved?
• Reduced Stress: How much would your daily stress decrease if you knew how to be effective with all of your clients?
• Save Time and Money: Save time and money by learning a streamlined method that synthesizes over 50 different theoretical approaches and the evidence base.
• Effectiveness: How would it change how you see yourself and your job if you knew exactly what do whether a client is dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, parenting, OCD, couple conflict, or grief?
• Clarity of Mind: What if you were able to learn a single, simple framework that enabled you to simultaneously draw from all of your preferred models at the same time? 
• Master the Evidence Base: What if you learned how to use key elements of the major evidence-based approaches in a single, coherent model that only required you to join one training program? 
• Goal Achievement: If you learned the basic techniques to achieve any goal, what area of your life would you want to transform first? 

Dr. Diane Gehart

I've spent much of my career trying to figure out how to do therapy well, going to countless workshops to learn numerous theoretical models.

In addition to working with nearly 250,000 clients as a therapist and supervisor, I put my many years of professional training into books and became the only person to write both a leading textbook in counseling theories and one on family therapy theories.

However, after nearly 30 years as an active member of the established academic community, I have come to the conclusion 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. 

Rather than spend the rest of my career fighting a deeply entrenched educational system, I have decided to simply 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.

And here's the boring bio you were probably expecting:

Dr. Diane Gehart is a Professor in the Marriage and Family Therapy and Counseling Programs at California State University, Northridge, and the Director of the Institute for Therapy that Works. She has authored numerous titles including Mastering Competencies in Family Therapy, Theory and Treatment Planning in Counseling and Psychotherapy, Mindfulness for Chocolate Lovers: A Lighthearted Way to Stress Less and Savor More Each Day, and Mindfulness and Acceptance in Couple and Family Therapy, and has co-edited with Harlene Anderson Collaborative Therapy: Relationships and Conversations that Make a Difference and Collaborative-Dialogic Practice: Relationships and Conversations Across Contexts and Cultures.

Capt. Brewster's Success Story...

In the military fighter aircraft and the airline business, we pilots are always looking for the “gouge.” The gouge is the information we REALLY, REALLY need to know. Information that will guide, inform, and direct; gouge cuts through mountains of information allowing us to excel and flourish. Therapy That Works is the gouge for doing therapy WELL. It transformed my practicum experience.  Treat it as a necessary part of your tuition. Get the gouge, take the class.

Phyllis's Success Story...

Dr. Gehart’s interactive online course, “Therapy That Works Live!” was both engaging and comprehensive. 

The training modules were insightful and pragmatic, with videos including Imposter Syndrome, self-of-the-therapist, 4-level assessment, and career options for making a living wage in the field of psychotherapy. 

Particularly unique to the course was the live avatar client simulations by which Dr. Gehart coached clinicians through the science and art of therapy – priceless!

Alina's Success Story...

“Being part of the Therapy that Works program has been such an amazing experience for me not only professionally but also personally. Diane is so knowledgeable about the field and helps therapists gain greater confidence in themselves.

In the program, I was able to learn how to take small steps to accomplish my goals including creating my YouTube Channel and passing the Law and Ethics Exam. It was also wonderful connecting with other clinicians in our mentoring group and supporting each other in achieving our goals.”

Rehema's Success Story...

Therapy that Works is a relevant resource for any practicing or upcoming therapist. The program helps you to gain a deeper understanding of therapeutic approaches and how they can use to better help clients deal with contemporary challenges.

I enjoyed every session, but my favorite sessions were the simulation classes. I gained a wealth of knowledge from other participants across the globe and gained the insight that many fundamental clients' needs are universal, whether you hail from Kenya or Kansas.

The principles laid out under Therapy that Works can be used both in-person or virtually, which is truly a benefit.

As a person, the course expanded my mind into incorporating tenets such as “5-minute mindfulness” and using the 4 levels of analysis in my daily life, practices that I believe will bring about impactful change in my life and those around me.

I am forever grateful to Dr. Gerhart for her brilliant mind into crafting such an extensively relevant therapy course. 

Asante!

Sarah's Success Story...

Diane’s course has given me the skills and the confidence that I have been seeking to navigate the start of my career as a professional counselor. I decided to choose this course--above all others--as Diane understood my needs as a professional starting out.

Having read several of her textbooks during my program, I jumped at the opportunity to observe her in action as a therapist and to learn through interactive role plays utilizing technology that is designed to take the edge off of any new therapist’s nerves.

 

While becoming competent might be a continues journey of growth, Dr. Gehart’s course was an important stepping stone for me.”
