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.
