A Professional Panel Presentation and Discussion


Are you finding yourself becoming anxious around your work with clients who are party to separation, divorce, or other family disputes? Does your countertransference appear more powerfully when observing a client suffering from the multitude of thoughts, feelings, emotions that cause anxiety and fear as a result of these challenges? From blended families and divorce, to family law and the complexities of the legal system, this kind of work can negatively impact and distract us from what we as therapists do best.


You Asked, We Listened!


We are proud to announce that we have assembled a team of outstanding experts in this field who will be participating in a panel to address such issues, and who will be able to answer many of your questions and concerns about this very important demographic.
