Transform Your Practice and Your Life

What if doing therapy were easy for you?

  • Income Potential: How would your career path be different if every client who came to you reliably improved?
  • Reduced Stress: How much would your daily stress decrease if you knew how to be effective with all of your clients?
  • Effectiveness: How would it change how you see yourself and your job if you knew exactly what do whether a client is dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, parenting, OCD, couple conflict, or grief?
  • Clarity of Mind: What if you were able to learn a single, simple framework that enabled you to simultaneously draw from all of your preferred models at the same time? 
  • Master the Evidence Base: What if you learned how to use key elements of the major evidence-based approaches in a single, coherent model that only required you to join one training program? 
  • Goal Achievement: If you learned the basic techniques to achieve any goal, what area of your life would you want to transform first? 

Dr. Diane Gehart

I've spent much of my career trying to figure out how to do therapy well, going to countless workshops to learn numerous theoretical models.

In addition to working with nearly 250,000 clients as a therapist and supervisor, I put my many years of professional training into books and became the only person to write both a leading textbook in counseling theories and one on family therapy theories.

However, after nearly 30 years as an active member of the established academic community, I have come to the conclusion that the field of mental health needs to find a better way to train its professionals--both those entering the field and those in it for decades. 

Rather than spend the rest of my career fighting a deeply entrenched educational system, I have decided to simply offer a saner approach to becoming a highly effective mental health professional for those who are interested. 

You are welcome to join me if you too believe there has to be an easier way to do this work well.

You can learn more about me and my qualifications in the FAQ below.

Information that will guide, inform, and direct; gouge cuts through mountains of information allowing us to excel and flourish. Therapy That Works is the gouge for doing therapy WELL. It transformed my practicum experience.  Treat it as a necessary part of your tuition. Get the gouge, take the class.

Darcy's Success Story...

“This course was so validating, so encouraging, and has upped my confidence so much as a therapist ready to expand my part-time practice.
 
It also was a great reminder for me to take my own mental health and lifestyle more seriously...Most importantly, it lead me to take my daughter (21) to a functional medicine doctor who finally identified the source of suffering that has plagued her for years. 
 
Coolest thing I have done in a very long time... It really IS therapy that works!” 
 
-Darcy P., LISW, Ohio

Phyllis's Success Story...

Dr. Gehart’s interactive online course, “Therapy That Works Live!” was both engaging and comprehensive. 

The training modules were insightful and pragmatic, with videos including Imposter Syndrome, self-of-the-therapist, 4-level assessment, and career options for making a living wage in the field of psychotherapy. 

Particularly unique to the course was the live avatar client simulations by which Dr. Gehart coached clinicians through the science and art of therapy – priceless!

Being part of the Therapy that Works program has been such an amazing experience for me not only professionally but also personally. Diane is so knowledgeable about the field and helps therapists gain greater confidence in themselves.
