The Academy for Couples Therapists training is for you if:
- You sometimes hope that some of your couples won't show up
- You feel overwhelmed when couples fight during sessions
- You find yourself losing empathy for one of the partners
- Your clinical self-confidence flounders
- You've learned about one model, but are finding it doesn't fit every client
- You know you need more training, but you're not sure which way to turn
- You have a lot of experience working with couples but still feel you could be more effective
I'm Sara Schwarzbaum, the founder of the Academy for Couples Therapists. My 12-Module training program will help you feel more competent and less confused about what to do in sessions with couples, so that you can become your colleagues’ go-to resource.
It may be hard to imagine right now that you could be the person other therapists call when they need to refer couples. But in time, by implementing your training with the Academy of Couples Therapists, you could become that go-to therapist.
You'll hear entire sessions with real clients each month, including a couple on the brink of divorce, a couple talking about their sexual desire discrepancy, and an older couple struggling to figure out their future together. You’ll hear me helping couples navigate difficult conversations, or repairing past hurts. In addition, you’ll have access to one lesson each month focusing on well-known existing frameworks of couples therapy. You’ll read about the stages in the treatment process with couples and you will have access to important tools in the special Toolbox section of the site.

By becoming a subscriber to The Academy for Couples Therapists, each month you can:

You’ll learn something new each month, without being overwhelmed by the amount of information.
You can listen on a desktop, a phone or a tablet. The interventions are delivered in PDF form. For a complete list of what's in the 12 Modules, click here.
Please join and become a monthly or a yearly subscriber at a rate that will never increase after you sign up, as long as you continue with the subscription.
The rate is just $99 per month. Or make one annual payment of $891.00, equal to $74.25 per month—much less than the price of one professional consultation session—for a savings of $297.00. So, if you pay for the entire year upfront, you’ll save three months.
You will be charged monthly, unless you choose to pay for the full year up front. If you’re not satisfied for any reason, I guarantee a full refund within the first 30 days, no questions asked. And you can cancel a monthly subscription any time.
