Chairwork Psychotherapy is centered on the belief that there is a healing and transformative power in: (1) Giving voice to one’s inner parts, modes, and selves; and (2) engaging with and reworking difficult narratives or memories; and (3) Enacting or re-enacting scenes from the Past, the Present, or the Future. In 2018, we discovered the Four Dialogue Matrix – which is a crystallization of over 50 years of Chairwork practice and exploration; it is now the foundation of the approach. Chairwork Psychotherapy is informed by the traditions of Gestalt Therapy, Psychodrama, Schema Therapy, and a range of other integrative psychotherapies. It may be applied as either a transdiagnostic therapeutic technique, or employed as a standalone psychotherapeutic modality– which can be useful for any clinician regardless of theoretical orientation, niche, clinical focus or career stage.

The CPI Level 1 certification training introduces therapists to the practice of Chairwork, in an active, creative, and compelling manner using clinical storytelling, didactic group practice, and unrehearsed, live clinical demonstrations. 

In this three-day, intensive certification training, we will explore the use of different dialogue strategies for: Inner Conflict, Trauma, Difficult Relationships, and Parts Work. We will share our easy-to-understand clinical framework to 1) outline the therapist’s stance; 2) define the core issues in psychotherapy, and 3) distill the core dialogue forms of Chairwork Psychotherapy. Learning Chairwork Psychotherapy provides clinicians with a clear, structurally organized way to conceptualize clinical issues and move forward with guided action. 

This certification program was designed to provide attendees with a foundational understanding and basic mastery of Chairwork Psychotherapy, whether you wish to use this as an integrative technique or begin adopting Chairwork as your primary therapy modality. We have sought to establish an elegant, deep, and empowering approach to psychotherapy that clinicians can use to become more effective, courageous, and creative in their work. Participants who complete this training will not only gain immediately applicable clinical skills, but also they will have improved confidence and a sense of freedom to tackle even the most difficult therapeutic issues. 

ISST-Certified Advanced Schema Therapist, Dr. Scott Kellogg can be considered one of the most influential clinicians and leaders in the renaissance of Chairwork. Along with Amanda Garcia Torres, LMHC and Certified Chairwork Psychotherapist, they have taken on the mission to share this uniquely profound practice with the world.
