The Couples Therapist Inner Circle
Education, training, support, and community for couples therapists, counselors, and coaches.
What do I get with my membership to the Inner Circle?
You will have access to hours of content right away as well as lots of direct support. See the details below.
Each month there is a new workshop taught by other experts in the field. These videos are dropped into the membership and always available for you to watch when it is convenient for you. After you watch, you can ask questions and have discussions in the group.
Here are the workshops we've had so far and the ones coming up in the next couple of months:
- Emotionally Focused Therapy with Rebecca Jorgensen
- Working with Sex in Couples Therapy with Erika Miley
- Gottman Strategies for Roommate Syndrome with Laura Heck
- Working with Couples and Infidelity with Jennifer Lagrotte
- Special Coronavirus Telehealth Training (Coming Soon)
- Relational Life Therapy (Coming Soon)
3 times per month we have a webinar where you can ask questions about couples therapy or bring cases to discuss and get feedback on. You can choose as much or as little involvement with these as you'd like.
- You will have the opportunity to post questions beforehand that could be addressed during the webinar.
- You can come on live during the webinar and ask questions or talk about a case.
- You can post questions in the comments as it is happening.
- You can watch the video live or catch it afterwards in the Facebook group. All videos are stored in the membership site afterward.
You Will be Able to Watch All Previous Installments as Soon as You Join
This group by itself is worth the price of the membership. It is a small group so we can really get to know each other and provide support to one another. I try to be available there on a daily basis.
You can...
- Become part of a community of other therapists working with couples.
- See all the questions and conversations that people are talking about.
- Ask questions about any topics related to working with couples.
- Get up to date information on what is going on in the membership.
- Ask about cases you have and how to work with them.
Hosting the Couples Therapist Couch podcast has given me a unique opportunity to interview so many leaders in the field of Couples Therapy. Part of my goal with this membership is to keep you up to date about all that is new in the world of Couples Therapy.
1. Information on the newest books and articles that are being published
2. Examples of practice paperwork that you can use with couples in your practice
3. Information and comparisons of different models of couples therapy
4. Handouts and activities that you can use and give to couples you work with
That's right! As part of your membership to the Inner Circle, you will get a log in and free access to Clearly Clinical which is a podcast with over 70 hours of CE credits for you to choose from in all different topics of therapy. You can literally get all of your CE credits done by being part of the Inner Circle.

Join The Inner Circle
The sad reality I found out when I started to work with couples.
1. Couples Therapy is nothing like individual therapy and my MFT program did not prepare me for the work
2. I needed more training, but didn't know where to start. There were so many options like Gottman, EFT, RLT, IMAGO, PACT.
3. I was alone in my private practice without a community to turn to.
4. I felt a lack of confidence about how to create real change for the couples I worked with.
5. I didn't have a place to bring my questions and get support on an ongoing basis about all of the issues that I were coming up, like sex, parenting, finances, infidelity, communication, etc.
And that is why I created the Couples Therapist Couch Podcast and Inner Circle.

- To be a leader in your community and build a six figure practice?

Education
Before you spend thousands of dollars and several years becoming certified in a particular model of couples therapy, you can get access to trainings in several different models. the Trainings in the Inner Circle will teach you all about EFT, RLT, Gottman, and more.
Training
In addition to that you can get trainings on working with sex, money, infidelity, parenting, attachment, mindfulness, and many other strategies so you can start feeling more confident in your work with couples right away.
Support
You will not be alone. There will be as much support as you need. You will be connected with a peer supervision group, have the ability to ask questions in the group, and have numerous zoom calls to watch and ask questions about whatever you want.
And what if you had the confidence and support you needed to be a relationship expert with a thriving practice in your local area?
Working with couples as a therapist can be both exciting, and overwhelming. As Couples Therapists know, it is completely different than Individual Therapy.
There is little support in most communities specifically for Couples Therapists.
I think everyone should get certified in a specific model of couples therapy, but you are going to spend thousands of dollars and a couple of years once you decide to do that.
Joining a consultation group will easily cost you $100 per month for one meeting. Not to mention if you want one on one supervision it will cost much more.
The Couples Therapist Inner Circle is designed to give you the foundation you need to build your confidence in your work with couples.You will instantly be part of a community of likeminded professionals and be provided with training, support, consultation, and the ability to connect with so many other couples therapists.

"I would like to thank you so much for creating this amazing community of couples therapists who walk in many different modalities and approaches! I have been running my own private practice for 5 years in NZ and to have finally discovered your podcasts is like a lifeline for me. Not to mention the lovely FB community that share resources and the inevitable challenges that come up in our practices. This is a truly helpful and inspiring forum so thank YOU Shane Birkel!"

"I am a member of the Couples Couch Facebook group and listen to your podcast almost on a daily basis. Just wanted to thank you for what you do. I’ve only been doing couples therapy work since February and I find your interviews to be one of the most helpful learning materials that I use! The content, people you interview, and the resources are so relevant in the work I do. Definitely appreciated!"
