What Our Students Say

“You aren't so much a teacher as a facilitator of learning. You open and provide an experiential space wherein learning and growth can happen. It is a difference between the "top down" teacher approach, and the" we are all on the same plane and open to the possibility of experience" facilitator approach. You said yourself that you are in clinician mode as you are overseeing each practice session, and therefore it is challenging to return to left brain thinking to answer questions...a perfect demonstration of the fact that you are using your clinical skills to support us in our learning.... we each change in relation to the experience and what we are ready to take in at that time. In any case, we are all grateful, I am grateful, for the way in which you do that. “

- Samantha

"There is a big difference between knowing skills and using them effectively. Because of the Experiential Groups, I feel confident in my ability to use somatic and touch skills with my clients. I have also learned how to read and respond to the nuances of attunement in the therapeutic relationship. Steve is masterful in his guidance of each clinician and fosters an environment of mutual learning and safety. These groups are a unique and wonderful opportunity for the healing of self and others. I recommend them to ALL my colleagues! "

- Ellen K.

​"Steve’s experiential group has provided me with an incredible opportunity to understand and work with developmental trauma in an intimate and supportive environment. My skill as a therapist has grown immeasurably from these weekend groups. I have newly found confidence in my ability to encourage and support change in my clients. I cannot recommend these groups highly enough!"
