Foundations in Couples Therapy Supervision Group

Finding your footing as a couple’s therapist can be challenging for any clinician, but it is especially difficult to do when working on your own. For this reason, Therapists of New York is thrilled to offer a weekly Couples Therapy Supervision Group geared towards helping private practice clinicians learn the essential knowledge and skills to support couples. The group will help clinicians find and hone their unique style as a couples therapist. 

The group will be run by the Director of the Couples Program at Therapists of New York, Annabelle Seife, Ph.D. Annabelle’s couples therapy approach is an integration of interpersonal psychodynamic psychotherapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman skills, her own premarital counseling program (Before the Leap), and Relational Life Therapy (RLT). As a supervisor, Annabelle helps her supervisees ground themselves in their own orientation and interpersonal style as they integrate new clinical skills to become confident and authentic couples therapists. 

These skills include:

  • Identifying couples’ entrenched ways of relating

  • Reflecting here-and-now dynamics in order to provide couples with a new emotional experience

  • Providing psychoeducation and skills in a way that couples can take in and practice

  • Containing conflict to create emotional safety and model healthy relationship practices

  • Facilitating direct and authentic expressions of vulnerability

The aim of the group will be to: 

  1. Strengthen your skills in couples therapy through didactics, guidance and feedback on clinical case examples. 

  2. Teach specific EFT, RLT, and Gottman skills for you to integrate as you find/strengthen your own therapeutic style with couples.

  3. Create a consistent, supportive community for therapists to feel less alone in the natural ups and downs of working with couples
