“The Redesigning Family Relationships course was very helpful. I have a mixed practice delivering both individual and family therapy, the course greatly strengthened my ability to focus on the systems approach when dealing with families, and avoid interventions more suited to individual therapy.
The case studies included in the course were vividly detailed. Participation in class discussions was lively and encouraged. The various techniques for interviewing the family were provided, and genograms were used to reveal data that would not necessarily emerge in interviews.
The course gave me a renewed confidence in my ability to provide effective family therapy and enthusiasm for doing so.”
— Walter Masterson, LCSW
Requests for therapists who can work with adult families are at an all-time high!
Time at home together, separation, and other challenging circumstances pushed family dynamics front and center. Long-ignored issues that were easily avoided in pre-pandemic life were suddenly intensified and spotlighted.
Many families are now asking for help dealing with situations like:
- Family cut-offs & estrangement
- Close family members going through a crisis or life change, which is affecting the whole family
- Long-standing family dynamics that rose to the surface during the pandemic
- Unresolved dynamics between siblings
- Romantic relationships that create a wedge with the rest of the family
- ‘Failure to launch’ – young adults who have difficulty becoming independent
- Empty nest syndrome
Fortunately, more people are seeking help.
Family therapy however, is complex and challenging. Unlike individual therapy, working with families requires a systemic perspective, which follows the principle “what you do affects me”.
This brings a whole new set of challenges even for experienced clinicians:
- Navigating and processing family dynamics without causing rifts or further damage
- Managing intense emotions during sessions
- Overall confidence in working with more than one person “in the room”
Traditionally, the route to learning these techniques was post-graduate specialized training.
But how can you help your clients now, instead of waiting to get trained for at least two more years?
Redesigning Family Dynamics is for you if you’ve felt the frustration of wanting to do family work but not knowing where to begin… If you’re ready to:
- Expand your clinical skills so that you feel comfortable working with adult families
- Learn the foundations of systems theory and how it applies to family work
- Learn to construct a genogram and how to use it in the therapy
- Get access to specific tools for working with families
Practice with experiential group exercises before conducting your next family therapy session - Intervene with clients to create impact instead of spending time on ineffective methods
- Expand your practice by adding family therapy

A Word from the Course Creators
We developed this program at the height of the pandemic, a time when more and more families were experiencing a resurfacing of old dynamics that were disrupting current relationships. As a resuflt, we took a deep dive into family therapy, both theory and practice.
In the creation of this course we revisited all the material we could get our hands on, both old and new, while working closely with Monica McGoldrick, a major pioneer in the field and a direct disciple of Murray Bowen.
While many of our colleagues are highly skilled individual and couples’ therapists, we realized that few have the experience and confidence to work with adult families. As a result, we developed the course we wish we had taken.
We are very excited to be offering this to you. It’s a fully live course, conducted over 4 virtual sessions throughout June and it includes theory, practice, and cheat sheets you can use every time you have a family session.
We teach the course ourselves and only accept a small group of students so that we can make sure we can give you our undivided attention during the 4 weeks of training.
We hope to meet you in June!
–Tracy and Judi
