We are thrilled to celebrate two members of our community who have achieved AEDP Supervisor certification, a milestone that reflects not only clinical mastery but also a deep capacity to hold, guide, and delight in the growth of other therapists.

Supervision in AEDP is more than case consultation. At its core, it is experiential and relational. Supervisors work to undo the therapist’s aloneness, meet clinical struggles with affirmation rather than judgment, and help supervisees metabolize the moment-to-moment work of transformation so they can offer their clients the same secure, healing-centred presence.

Becoming an AEDP Supervisor requires years of dedicated practice, immersion in the model, and a genuine gift for accompanying others. These two clinicians embody all of that.

Please join us in congratulating:

There is a particular joy in witnessing a clinician grow into the fullness of their craft. AEDP certification marks a deepening capacity to sit with another person in their most vulnerable moments and to help transform suffering into healing through genuine connection.

AEDP rests on a simple but profound conviction: that human beings are wired for healing and that transformation becomes possible when we no longer have to face our pain alone. To become certified is to commit deeply to that vision, through many hours of practice, close consultation, and the willingness to stay present with both the struggle and the flourishing of those we serve.

The clinicians we celebrate today have walked this path with dedication and heart. Certification is both an arrival and a beginning, honoring what they have already accomplished while opening the door to all the lives they will continue to touch.

We are so proud to celebrate these members of our community who have recently achieved AEDP Certification. Each of these clinicians has demonstrated deep commitment to the healing-oriented, relationally embedded work at the heart of AEDP, and we are honored to mark this milestone with them.
