Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson offer the most unique couples therapy training out there. Not only are they caring, down to earth, and couples therapy experts, but their developmental model offers foundational concepts that are easy to grasp and include in your practice today! I've been training with Ellyn and Pete since 2005, now in their Master Mentorship training, and I continue to learn how to be a better Marriage Counselor, but also have a better marriage as well!

I have trained with Ellyn for several years and value my experience with her immensely. Are you ready to move ahead in your clinical, personal, and business life? If so, consider training with Ellyn. You are in for a treat as she helps you uncover your clients’ aspirations, what gets in their way, and how to move forward, at the same time as she inspires you to look at your own aspirations, what gets in your way, and how you can move forward with your dreams as well.

I've trained with some of the "best" in couples therapy over the past 10 years, and I'm telling you the Developmental Model is the best framework for couples therapy I've experienced. It stands alone and will help you work with the toughest clients that come to your office. Imagine feeling confident in your skills no matter how tough the case?

Ellyn Bader and the Couples Institute offers the most superb training programs for couples therapists. In just a few months, my skills as a couples counselor grew tremendously. Now, even when I see the toughest of clients, I feel confident that I know how to help them.
