Workshops

Christian Therapy Services is available to conduct workshops and seminars on various topics at your facility or to offer a more intimate setting for learning at my office for 7-10 participants. I create interactive workshops and experiential exercises using props and visuals to accelerate learning and application of the content being presented. I can conduct the workshops described below which I have facilitated at various settings, or offer other workshops you may need if the subject is within my realm of training.  If not, I am closely networked in the counseling community and can give you another resource.  Here is a description of workshops I have conducted in various settings and can offer to you as well as seminars on other topics:
