What people are saying about this workshop:

• "Excellent. The training is so enhanced by self-disclosure, examples, and humor. Honestly cannot think of a way to improve. I love doing trainings with TKT. The website is so professional and easy to navigate. I appreciate how you all keep the certificates and explain in detail CEUs, i.e., type covered, date paid vs date completed for on demand." - SE, LCSW
• "This course was very informative and felt like it went very quickly compared to some I have been to. I appreciate all the different methods to engage the participants, and honestly felt more comfortable, not talking or being seen. I really like the honesty and self-disclosure. It was helpful to hear about the various models of couples' therapy." - EB, LCSW
• "Very knowledgeable and relatable. I appreciate that he referred to himself and to his wife in giving examples. It normalized feelings associated with anger and made him more relatable as a presenter." BM, LCSW-S
• "I really enjoyed diving deeper into the different modalities of treatment. Also, I love all of the examples and how David tied the material into it to make it applicable."
