Our Story

Have you ever caught yourself zoning out halfway through a long CE presentation, staring at the screen, and thinking: How on earth is this actually going to help me in my practice?

​

Yeah. We’ve been there.

​

We’re two licensed psychologists with a shared passion for the science of good therapy. On paper, we’re published clinical researchers. In the room, we’re wholehearted clinicians who care deeply about our clients and believe that helping therapists master evidence-based interventions is one of the highest-value things we can do for our field.

​

The trouble is, high-quality continuing education for therapists is often frustratingly hard to access. Great workshops can require expensive travel or feel impossible to fit into a busy practice schedule. But the bigger problem? The way most therapy training is delivered.

​

The research is clear: sitting through hours of passive, lecture-heavy slides simply doesn't translate into real-world clinical skills. You can take pages of notes, but when you sit down with a complex client on Monday morning, a lecture rarely tells you how to handle the tough moments in real time. So why are we still training clinicians this way?

​

That’s why we created the Mind Body Behavioral Institute (MBBI). We built MBBI to offer interactive, experiential CE workshops that bridge the gap between clinical research and actual practice.

​

In our trainings, you won't just listen as someone reads a slide deck to you word for word. You’ll build practical clinical skills by observing live clinical work, tackling real-world case simulations, practicing in small-group role-plays (and "real plays"), and receiving real-time expert feedback.

It’s an evidence-based approach designed to help you feel confident on the professional's side of the couch.

​

And honestly, it’s a whole lot more fun.
