These are the words often used by clinicians and patients to describe Chairwork Psychotherapy. Building on over 60 years of rich tradition, 15 years of international trainings and presentations, countless hours of applied clinical practice, and ongoing collaborative innovation and development, the Chairwork Psychotherapy Initiative has lauched the world’s first Chairwork Psychotherapy Certification Program.

We first came up with the idea for a certification program in 2020 and, after two years distilling and refining the training content, we have designed modules that we feel encompass the essential and foundational knowledge that is needed to have real competency and efficacy in Chairwork. We have sought to construct an elegant, deep, and empowering approach to psychotherapy that clinicians can use to become more effective, courageous, and creative in their clinical work.
In this three-day intensive training, we will explore the use of the Four Dialogues framework to resolve inner conflicts, work through traumatic experiences, cope with difficult relationships, and give voice to different parts. This framework provides clinicians with a clear and structured way to conceptualize clinical issues and move forward with guided action. If you have felt stagnant in your clinical practice, uncertain in your next steps, or even anxious regarding challenging clinical issues, then this certification training may be a great fit for you.
Dr. Scott Kellogg, the TCPP (CPI) Founder and an ISST-Certified Advanced Schema Therapist, can be considered one of the more influential clinicians and leaders in the Chairwork renaissance. Together with Amanda Garcia Torres, LMHC, a Certified Chairwork Psychotherapist, they have taken on the mission to share this uniquely profound practice with the world. Be a part of this exciting movement and register to become one of the world’s first certified Chairwork Psychotherapy practitioners!
