Classical Adlerian Depth Psychotherapy Certification
PATH ONE
Our flagship program is a four-year journey into the depth and rigor of Classical Adlerian theory and therapy. Students are practicing clinicians who bring Adler's thinking directly into their work from the first year onward. The program includes coursework in theory, clinical practice, case analysis, Socratic questioning, and a capstone project - as well as personal training analysis and supervised clinical work. Upon completion, students are awarded certification as qualified Adlerian Depth Psychotherapists, recognized throughout Europe.
PATH TWO
Certificate of Advanced Adlerian Studies
The Certificate of Advanced Adlerian Studies is a two-year educational program for those who wish to engage seriously with Adlerian theory and its clinical applications, without undertaking the full developmental commitment of the certification track. It is designed for Master’s level graduates or experienced clinicians who want a thorough and rigorous grounding in Adlerian thought.
The curriculum covers the same theoretical foundations and clinical modalities as Years One and Two of the certification program, offered with the same quality of mentorship and engagement. The program is designed for small groups of five, which keeps the cost accessible. Individual study is also available for those who prefer a more personalized pace and are willing to invest accordingly.
PATH THREE
Deepening an Adlerian Practice
For clinicians and interns who have completed our introductory course and find themselves wanting more — we want to hear from you. We offer small-group modality courses in areas such as couples therapy, child and family therapy, and brief therapy, designed to bring Adlerian depth and coherence into your existing clinical practice. These courses are offered in groups of five, making them accessible in both cost and commitment.
These courses require some coordination - we want to make sure the right people are in the room together. But we are committed to making them happen when there is genuine interest. If this speaks to where you are in your practice, reach out and tell us what you are looking for.
