Fot cERtIFICATION
February 5, 2024
A new Focusing Oriented Therapy Certification program will begin for existing Registered Psychotherapists.
This program will run for approximately 2 years and will consist of about one course at a time.
There will be learning, experiencing and some teaching opportunites for you during the program.
A general sense of some requirements and courses are as follows, but keep in mind that we will attempt to make this as colloborative of an approach as possible, so if there are areas of interest you have, there is a liklihood that we can incorporate them into the process, or create an additional course to explore your area of interest.
