Training
AEDP training utilizes a three-pronged method to engage both left and right brain, as well as mind and heart.
Certification
The journey to AEDP Certification is full of learning and unlearning, of growing and becoming your true therapist self.
Research
Our innovative research has demonstrated the effectiveness of AEDP and led to the development of a 16-session treatment model.
AEDP Psychotherapy
There is no better way to capture the ethos of AEDP than to say this: we try to help our patients and ourselves become stronger at the broken places. By working with trauma, loss, and painful consequences, we discover places that have always been strong, places that were never broken.
—Diana Fosha
PhD, Developer of AEDP Psychotherapy and Director of AEDP Institute
