ESFT-FBMHS Graduate Jenny R.
Jenny says- “Over the last 3 ½ years I have been working in Family Based as the bachelor’s level clinician. If there is one thing I have learned, it is that this job is no joke. From the long workdays to crisis situations, what makes it worth it, is the families. It has been such an amazing journey to go through with the families and witness when they are willing to do something different about their situations at home. It is kinda crazy how much can change over the course of eight (8) months. I have worked with my partner, Jen Kirk, who has been doing this job well over 15 years and our differences have created a complimentary partnership in treatment. Over this period (3 ½ years), I have found my voice and learned my style. This process of competency has helped build my own confidence to the point that I have been excited to teach my new partner and help him develop his voice. I have learned various techniques, interventions, the importance of joining with families, and how to anchor skills for the long haul. I do not think I could have achieved this accomplishment without my supervisor, teammate, training cohort, and the training center. I am excited for what the future holds!”

ESFT-FBMHS Program Graduate Alert: Grace J.
“Supporting families who have experienced trauma is not an easy task, especially when immersed in the family system as a clinician. As family therapists, we are constantly learning and growing, so I feel ESFT has given me such an effective, holistic, and solid foundation in being able to work with my clients. Becoming certified in ESFT with PCFTTC has been transformative and has bettered me as a family therapy clinician. The ESFT model has helped me to create better foundations with families, more thorough conceptualizations, and has increased my confidence in being able to find more effective ways to support my clients. Not only is the model beneficial for clinicians, but it supports families in being able to understand their feelings, experiences, and needs more clearly and in a way that progress/healing actually feels obtainable. Throughout my three-year training experience, I was taught by experienced and supportive instructors as well as support from peers within my agency and across PA. The graduation process immersed me into the model deeply with my real time clients and gave me an experiential opportunity that will be integrated into my practice for the rest of my career.”

The only parental leadership you know how to do is what was experienced growing up…
When considering changing parental leadership, reflect on experiences from childhood. Plan ahead for how you want to approach challenges differently. Practice new approaches to create new neural pathways. Encourage family involvement in the process, even if it feels awkward.

Additional Supervision Groups: Systemic Supervision
We are excited to announce that in January 2024 we opened additional supervision groups run by our faculty. These groups will give the experienced professional an opportunity to build a supportive community of colleagues who are dedicated to systems thinking and intervention. Supervision groups such as these reduce professional isolation and foster resiliency. Maintaining a community of care around you is one of the most powerful wellness practices you can engage in! Regardless of the level of care in which you work – our groups provide opportunities to receive case consultation/conceptualization of complex cases, ethical decision-making support, and guidance in providing supervision. We would love to welcome you to our learning community! Those interested should email, administration@pcfttc.com, for additional details.
Why choose PCFTTC.com for your professional development?
Check out Monifa and her experience with the training center. She is in Dr. Tara Byers’ training cohort. Monifa discusses how working in a team of three (supervisor, therapist, and co therapist) in supervision has helped her to master being able to slow down, listen actively, and reframe her approach to systemic family therapy sessions. She has learned to pay attention to the families’ needs and be intentional in the moment, rather than adhering to a rigid agenda. This change has taken pressure off of her and helped her focus on the quality of her presence in the session. Monifa expresses gratitude for this approach and the positive impact it has had on own professional and personal development.
