Attendee Testimonials

Kelly Coutee LPC, LMFT, RN

"All subject matter was pertinent/relevant to important matters impacting the psychotherapy practice of today. Great idea to meet as a group to establish each participants' wants and needs prior to attending the retreat."

"I enjoyed the loose structure of presentation also allowing for an organic structure to emerge according to the needs of the participants."

"I loved the venue! It encouraged bonding, building trust, and open sharing amongst peers creating a safe environment to explore all controversial subjects. Processing continued beyond the structured "classroom" time."

" A very organized, systematic and effective way to present the complexities of running the business of a private practice today."

"The field has been in need of these collective teachings for decades. Thank you Kathleen & Phillip for creating the map for this treacherous terrain."

"This is an experiential workshop event, creating a safe space to explore controversial issues affecting society that is changing the dynamics of what clinicians see in our practices. The workshop also offers a plethora of information about current changes on the State and Federal levels affecting our licenses."

"In addition, the workshop creates a safe space to retreat, rest, be nurtured and emerge feeling renewed. It was worth the price of admission and I'm blessed to have been a part of this vital event. This has been an awesome experience. Thank you Kathleen!!"

"The times we are living in are so different than before the pandemic."

"Enjoyed the information presented. Appreciated the bold and honest truth being presented that encourages therapists to think and do for themselves and their practices."

"I appreciate how the information in The Counseling Landscape keeps up with the changing times and is presented in a systematic way. (The PracticeMentors.us Academy) is well organized and thought out with years of experience combined with research! A great opportunity to obtain CEU's while knowing it's up-to-date and usable."

"Participating in the PracticeMentors Summer Retreat has been the highlight of my professional journey this year! Meeting other professionals in a relaxed and informative environment has been more than I expected. Kathleen's hospitality and leadership during the retreat was restorative and enlightening."

"Timely opportunity to address professional issues that I've been not able to study and understand on my own."

"Was very drawn in by the experiential and small group environment that I felt welcomed to offer my thoughts and disclose feelings in a setting in which I felt safe."

"Much more comfortable to get to know the presenter , eating and sleeping under the same roof as other attendees. Meeting and communing under one roof allowed me to focus more on the event."

"The diagrammed organization of information (The Counseling Landscape) is a style that agrees with the way I learn. I really had little concept of BHEC and how it's related to LPC regulations and my license."

"(The PracticeMentors Academy) is a leader in contemporary legal and professional issues, making it easier to digest, and help me stay abreast of my profession."

"Kathleen and Phillip are the Ying and Yang of therapy practice, all aspects of running one efficiently and and getting the most enjoyment out of it."
