Testimonials

The most meaningful feedback comes from the clinicians who bring this work into their practices every day. Here’s what colleagues and trainees have shared about their experience in consultation, supervision, and training groups with me:

“This training increased my flexibility in doing ISTDP with obsessive–compulsive clients. I now have greater awareness of the complexity of these cases, and an increase in empathy, patience, and confidence applying flexible interventions.”
— Licensed Therapist

“It was a great blend of theory and practical implementation, and Nick was open to every question.”
— Group Training Participant

“I came away with new ideas—focusing more on the positive in patients’ lives, on positive feelings, and even asking how they have fun.”
— Training Participant

“This training recently benefited my group practice. Nick did an outstanding job, and the OCD focus brought out more conceptually than I had encountered in prior EDT/ISTDP training. Understanding the etiology and function of OCD symptoms with its primary defense mechanisms—drawn from both outside reading and didactic presentation—has helped immensely. I highly recommend this training!”
— Clinic Director, Group Practice

Benefits of Engaging in Clinical Training & Consultation

Whether you’re early in your career or a seasoned clinician expanding into new territory, ongoing training and mentorship are essential to ethical, effective, and inspired clinical work. I offer trainings for all levels of experience. My original groups were utilized by seasoned therapists looking to integrate new research into their practice. However, I realize that clinicians at all levels of experience benefit from the right training. An effective training program helps you deepen your clinical insight and develop clarity about how you practice —and why.

Here are some of the benefits clinicians gain from engaging in specialized training and consultation:

1. Clinical Clarity & Confidence
   Training helps you refine your conceptualizations, sharpen your interventions, and feel grounded in the “why” behind what we do— especially with complex or treatment-resistant clients. It helps you consistently ask the question: “Can I see the human being beneath their symptoms?”
2. Advanced Skill Building
   Learn evidence-based interventions drawn from intensive cognitive, behavioral and dynamic psychotherapies; learn psychodynamic case formulation, and cutting-edge methods that integrate manualized approaches with human connection.
3. Practical Application
   Training is not just theoretical. You’ll get real-time support in translating clinical concepts into practice, including live feedback, case discussion, and clinician-to-clinician didactic integration.
4. Ethical Depth Work
   Work through the inevitable unconscious, attachment-based dynamics that shape the therapeutic process — including therapist blocks and countertransference — in a setting that honors both clinical rigor and your own emotional development.
5. Professional Identity Development
   Clarify your voice as a therapist. Build a clinical identity that reflects your values, training, and therapeutic style. You’ll gain support in developing your niche, articulating your theoretical framework, and shaping a philosophy of care that’s both authentic and clinically sound.
6. Community & Collaboration
   Whether through group cohorts or 1:1 consultation, you’ll be part of a community committed to high-quality, depth-oriented care. Get out of isolation, share your clinical struggles, and be part of meaningful dialogue.
7. Renewed Fulfillment
   Avoid burnout and rediscover meaning in your clinical work. Working with complex human suffering can be depleting–but it can also be profoundly rewarding when you have the support and insight to stay grounded.
