Innovations 2024 Speakers Will Be Announced Soon...
2023 keynote speakers included:
Ashley Judd, Bessel van der Kolk, David Kessler, Dan Siegel, Nedra Glover Tawwab, Diana Fosha, Emily Nagoski, Jud Brewer, and Lori Gottlieb.
This isn’t a stuffy, academic event…

This is Innovations in Psychotherapy — your front-row seat to what’s new and what’s next in therapy.

We've challenged the world’s leading researchers, developers, and clinicians to bring their real-world, cutting-edge, practical skills to share with practicing therapists just like you.

Now they're ready to walk you step by step through experiential exercises that will show you exactly how to apply techniques from today's most effective modalities like IFS, DBT, CPT, EMDR, and more.

You’ll also get the first glimpse at new research on upcoming tools with great promise for working with trauma, neurodiversity, grief, narcissism, young clients, and so much more.

Presented over four days in Anaheim, California (and broadcast LIVE online), Innovations in Psychotherapy offers you a unique opportunity to train and talk directly with our field's leading innovators as they help you expand your ability to provide deeper, faster healing.

Those of you on the front lines, seeing clients every day – this is your conference.

This is where you take the next step in advancing your practice.

…Where you find sparks of inspiration from your peers.

…Where you experience the magic “ah-ha” moments that will help you push your clinical outcomes further and faster.

And where you find time for rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation.

This is Innovations in Psychotherapy — where theory meets practice.
Become a Volunteer: Attend the conference for only $100 and receive CE credit hours as you help behind the scenes.
