Dear Colleague,

The world of dating, love, and sex is changing....Fast.

As therapists, we can't simply apply old rules to this new world or relationships. We have to be able to help our clients with approaches and language that makes sense to them.

And this extends beyond traditional couples therapists -- an understanding of relational systems is a core part of being a successful therapist.

So we'd like to invite you to take just six hours for two days out of your busy schedule to be with 12 relationship experts - some of the best in the field. They each have something new to say AND will provide new ways of approaching our clients' relationships in therapy.

We hope you'll be able to attend live and ask lots of questions. For these 2 days, we'll form a powerful community of like-minded therapists.

And together, equipped with new skills, we'll go out and make a huge difference for our clients that starts with understanding how relationships work today and specific skills to transform them. If you can't be with us live, no worries, you can pre-order the recording package so you can get CE credits anytime.

Every session is going to provide you one more piece to the puzzle of helping your clients be more satisfied in their love relationships (and maybe our own too!).

We hope to see you there!

With LOVE,
Zach Taylor, MA LPC, Director, Psychotherapy Networker
Jon Olstadt, Conference Organizer, PESI


P.S. - We know your time is valuable. If you're ever not happy with your experience, all you need to do is reach out to us and let us know, and we'll provide a no-questions-asked refund. No hoops to jump through. It's our promise to you. How's that for a guarantee? Register today!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really live?
YES! Both days will be live with presenters and most sessions will include a 45-minute training with 10-15 of Q&A.
Will I be able to ask questions to presenters?
YES! Most sessions will include live Q&A in the last 15 minutes of the training.
What if I can’t attend LIVE both days? Can I still watch sessions and get CE credits?
If you register as a live attendee, you can receive credit for any of the workshops you actually attend live. The 14-day on demand replay are for review only and not eligible for LIVE CE credits.

If you would like CE credit for sessions you couldn’t attend live, simply upgrade to the recording package at registration. You’ll get lifetime access to the entire conference and have the ability to watch each session at any time for self-study credit after the conference.

If you do not plan to attend any of the live conference, you can simply purchase the recording package on this page and earn self-study CE credits on each workshop in that package at any time in the future.
What is the Complete Recording Package?
After the conference we’ll add the entire conference, including the on demand pre-conference session, in your learning portal where you’ll have lifetime access to each workshop. This package comes with self-study CE credits. Simply watch the workshop you’d like, take the short post-test, and you’ll receive a certificate based on your license. This recording package will be delivered to your learning portal in 4-6 weeks after the event.
What if I don’t see couples? Is this still for me?
This is a great conference for any practicing mental health professional if you’re interested in being able to better understand relationships and how to help your clients improve them.
How do I get CE credits?
If you attend live, you’ll receive a link to the CE Evaluation immediately after the conference to apply for CE credits.

If you purchase the recording package, you’ll be able to watch each session recording, take a brief post-test, and receive a certificate based on your license eligibility.
Who do I contact if I have questions?
Reach out to support@pesi.com for questions. We’re happy to help!
