Introduction
Most of us have heard about some or all the following: The Socratic Method, Motivational Interviewing, CBT, or DBT. You've also likely heard of Strategic Intervention, Family System Therapy, Logotherapy, or Solution-Focused Therapy.
Now, what do all of them have in common? First, as you may know, each one of them has strengths and weakness. SWEET Institute uses the key strengths from each one of them and uses them as essential pillars - and this is the Socratic Motivational Practice.
In other words, we have taken the best of these evidence-based practices, looked deeply into the gaps that exist in each one of them, and created an effective and multi-purpose treatment intervention for you to have the clinical outcomes that you had always dreamt of. Come join us and see how you can use the SWEET Socratic Motivational Practice with your clients in a way that will transform how you work going forward.

Here's what attendees have been saying about SWEET seminars:
“I appreciate you guys! I completed my required CEU’s very early during this “sheltering in” thanks to all of your offerings. I typically have to “cram” last minute to get my full hours in, but I have far surpassed the requirement two years to go.” - Ginger, LCSW
“One of the best webinars I’ve joined in a long time. Plus, when I wrote my email wrong and could not figure out how to get the post-test, the assistance was ideal. Thank you!” - Betsy, LICSW
“The presenter appeared to enjoy what he was presenting. He had a good sense of humor and gave memorable examples to make his point clear.” - Linda, LCSW-R
