Train With Depth. Lead With Presence.
 

Clinical supervision + therapist development for clinicians who are ready to influence the field, not just survive in it.

The Arizona Institute for Advanced Psychotherapy Training is where therapists come to deepen their identity, sharpen their clinical voice, and learn to lead with courage and care.
Not fast CE.
Not checkbox hours.
Mastery. Community. Clinical leadership.

What Makes Us Different?

Therapy is not performed.
It’s embodied.

We don’t just teach interventions.
We teach how to be a clinician who can hold complexity, cultivate trust, and create change that lasts.

Where others teach what to do,
we teach who you’re becoming as a clinician.

The Pillars of Our Approach

Identity Formation

Your clinical voice is your most powerful instrument. We help you develop it with clarity, ethics, and cultural awareness.

Reflective Supervision

Supervision is leadership. We train supervisors who develop skill, accountability, courage, and confidence in those they guide.

Embodied Clinical Skill

Technique matters—but only when the clinician knows how to be present, grounded, and attuned.
This is the work.

You’re not just here to practice.
You’re here to lead.
