Training

I am available to provide training in the below areas and can design customized workshops of varying length to meet the needs of different organizations.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I served as a workshop trainer and as a training consultant for a nationwide program to train mental health providers in the Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare system in delivering ACT. I have provided trainings at other medical centers and counseling centers and have given presentations on ACT at conferences around the world. I have published numerous peer-reviewed papers on the theory, practice, and clinical evidence regarding ACT.

Psychological Resilience Training. I provide psychological resilience training for people in a variety of high stress environments, including military personnel and emergency responders. I have published multiple peer-reviewed papers on different approaches to psychological resilience training. I am currently leading a nationwide study comparing the effectiveness of two different approaches to psychological resilience training in fire fighter trainees, which is being conducted at 12 fire academies nationwide.
