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.

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!

Evelyn's Success Story...
…what I would like to add to the other accolades, is that Dr. Gehart goes far beyond the normal call of duty for professional educators, by providing unique experiences that draw out the talents in students who are ready to take their skills and gifts to the next level. And who are ready to consider what truly matters for them to enjoy a more fulfilling life. This may sound ambitious for one course; and, it’s not directly offered in the course descriptions. But, as I reviewed the syllabus, lesson objectives, and training modules, I became further convinced of what I already knew in my heart. This amazing professor is very passionate about her calling to teach, to develop, and to help bring into focus the overlooked visions and dreams that may have seemed unreachable; unnoticed; unsupported; hidden; or, even buried in the heart.
