Each month we’re reading one chapter about a school of experiential therapy, followed by a live 90-minute Zoom session with the author to dive deep into the real-world practice of that approach. Together, we analyze the case example from the chapter to learn how to bring each modality to life in our own clinical work.

This is not a trauma training; it’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in the experiential methods themselves—seeing how each works in practice, and how you can adapt them to your own style and clients.

Jeffrey is a Focusing-Oriented Therapist and Focusing Trainer who specializes in teaching healing professionals how to make their work even more effective. Focusing is a body-centered approach to growth and healing, shaped by research on the processes that drive meaningful personal change. By integrating Focusing into existing healing methods, practitioners can help clients become more present, connected, and self-compassionate—while supporting the safe release of stuck patterns, critical inner voices, and trauma.

Riley is a Mental Health Counselor who supports teens and adults in finding more wholeness, steadiness, and self-trust—especially when life has been shaped by trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges. His work is grounded in existential and humanistic psychotherapy and strongly informed by somatic, body-centered approaches, including Focusing (developed by Eugene Gendlin), helping clients build the capacity to meet difficult emotions with compassion and felt, embodied presence. Riley offers a warm, direct, conversational style and provides a supportive space for LGBTQ+ clients, gender exploration (including male-identified experiences), and those navigating identity, intimacy, or nontraditional relationships.
