Introduction

The Mother of Family Therapy, Virginia Satir; the Father of Gestalt Therapy, Fritz Perls; and the prominent psychiatrist, Milton Erikson, were studied to determine why they were the best in their respective fields.

Common patterns in both language and thought were found, and this was the start of an organized body of knowledge that has been used by millions of clinicians throughout the world as adjunctive treatment. In terms of its adjunctive psychotherapeutic use, NLP has been validated and recognized by the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy.

You will then learn adjunctive tools to help you get unstuck when the more known evidence-based and traditional treatment modalities fail to work.

There are NO CEUs attached to it.

This Certificate Course is intended only for clinicians who are motivated enough to learn these new skills that may become readily handy when least expected.

“What I am is good enough if I would only be it openly.” - Carl Rogers

Frequently Asked Questions


What is the scientific validity for NLP?
As an adjunct to therapy, NLP falls into the same category as psychoanalysis, Intermittent Fasting, or EMDR. This means it is not considered an evidence-based practice like CBT, where at least a thousand of well-designed studies have been done and replicated throughout the world. Having said that, most of the best CBT practitioners also make use of many of the NLP techniques.
Do I need to attend all 12 sessions in order to get my final certificate of completion for the whole Certificate Course?
Yes. Otherwise, you risk accumulating gaps, which may, in turn, lead to an inability to use the techniques adequately. You will therefore not be able to receive a final certificate of completion.
Are there any other requirements to getting a final certificate other than completing each and every one of the sessions?
Yes, if you are taking these sessions as pre-recorded classes, please fill out an evaluation for each session, which will count as your attendance. Email us at [email protected] to request your final certificate of completion. Once we verify that we have evaluation records for all the sessions, we will then send your final certificate of completion.
Does this Certificate Course offer CEUs?
No. Our CBT Certificate Courses, Behavior Modification Certificate Courses, and Psychotherapy Certificate Course offer CEUs.
What are your reimbursement policies?
Anyone who registered for this Certificate Course through any of the payment plans, and who wishes to withdraw, for whatever reason, is entitled for a full reimbursement, with no questions asked other than for improvement purposes. The full reimbursement will be minus the price of each single session attended by the date of wish to withdraw.
