Welcome Discernment Counseling Trainees!
If you are just starting out, in the middle of training, or even coming back to the training after taking a break -- take advantage of these valuable resources to support your learning!
Join a Learn-Along Group for support while completing the training course OR seek group or one-on-one case consultation while seeing your first cases on your way to certification.
If you are Starting (or restarting) the DC Training Course
Join me for a 16-week group where we learn the new material together and solidify essential skills and strategies of discernment counseling. Our goals is to get it right from the beginning!
What it IS
A place for (soft) accountability - stay on track to finish the training by following the "assigned" training modules
A place to review critical topics from the assigned material, facilitated by a Discernment Counseling Master Practitioner
A no-pressure place to ask questions and solidify your understanding of the protocol
A place to use case examples and role-playing as practice tools (*PSST** You get to be the client!)
What it is NOT
A classroom replacement for self-paced learning. We will not be able to cover EVERY part of the training, so completion of the training on your own is still needed
A high-pressured environment where you will feel tested or judged
A financial drain - I offer this FREE to trainees
If you have finished the training and are ready to see couples
I have weekly drop-in "Office Hours" where you can ask questions and seek case consultation while you are still working toward certification and low-cost one-on-one consultation.
Regularly scheduled Office Hours/Case discussion
No obligation; Drop-in as you wish
Learn by listening to others (you don't need a case question to join!)
One low cost for ten months of unlimited meetings
Reduced fee one-on-one case consultation when Office Hours isn't enough
Why should I participate?
Discernment counseling is fun work ... but it's HARD!
At first glance, the protocol seems pretty straight forward, but there are many nuances to the work that are important to master in order to be successful as a discernment counselor.
Learn the right way.
From the start.
