Course Description

This course introduces participants to the Geek Therapy® Model, an affinity-based model of psychotherapy. We believe the best way to understand each other is through what we care about. Geek Therapy teaches how to use the interests and preferences of clients and practitioners to enhance the therapeutic process.

Participants will learn to:

  • Identify client affinities and integrate them into treatment in a meaningful way.
  • Utilize the Geek Therapy mindset statements to conceptualize cases and assess key opportunities for change.
  • Develop skills related to Geek Therapy tools and techniques, including the GT Library and the 3 A’s.
  • Apply the Geek Therapy® Model alongside other theoretical orientations.
