Fire Facilitator

I tell all of my group participants and counseling clients the same things: "Always keep it real. I am here to support you, but I cannot do so if you're not transparent".

​

I don't care whose feathers I ruffle because I only care about people getting well and not wasting their time or money in treatment. This is the truth: most people's groups either suck or are mediocre at best. What makes them better is the bond created in group settings. In other words, the clients often do the work.

​

Most facilitators walk into a group with just a question and maybe a coloring worksheet, but no real plan for creating an EXPERIENCE and a useful session of treatment that can change the client's LIFE.

​

Therapists, counselors, and other similar professionals are not effectively trained in group facilitation. I know this from A. seeing them run groups. B. knowing many trainees who are earning their master's or doctorate degrees. C. speaking to associate and licensed therapists working in treatment.

​

I first fell in love with the group process as a client myself. It was a very eye-opening and enriching experience for the most part because I was in a high-end facility. However, there were clearly facilitators who had no idea what they were doing or were just obviously unprepared, and I felt like I wasted a day of my treatment program that was literally tens of thousands of dollars (I'm not going to say how much because you'd literally freak out as I did).

​

If this treatment program costs literally TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, why all the inconsistency?

​

Since I started as a counselor in the addiction field, I have facilitated hundreds of groups per year. The feedback is similar. Clients regularly tell me something along the lines of "This was such a good group" or "This was fun". That is because my groups are clearly different than others. 

​

I have sat in others' groups and yeah, no comment. I would hear the rumblings and grumblings from other clients about how boring and dreadful their group experiences have been.

​

I have heard in detail about the poor quality treatment that my loved ones have experienced.

​

If you're like me and all you care about is quality client care, this may be the program for you. 

​

You'll learn how to:

​

• run effective telehealth groups from someone whose clients actually liked their telehealth groups

• create fun and interesting in-person groups that clients will enjoy

• handle difficult personalities and awkward group dynamics

• help clients transform their thinking and perspective in as little as an hour

• properly prepare and structure groups for success

• increase your competence and confidence in group facilitation

​

The program is delivered online and includes graded assignments, one-on-one mentorship meetings, weekly lessons, teaching demos, and more.

​

These lessons were not taught in your master's, doctorate, internship, or vocational program. Learn from someone who has been on the battlefield and learned hard lessons along the way.

​

After running hundreds of groups per year, I have now figured out the science behind a smooth group EXPERIENCE.

​

I am currently accepting applications for my in-depth mentorship program called Fire Facilitator, delivered in an online format that you can participate in from anywhere.

​

The program begins on Jul 1st, 2026. Application deadline is June 22nd, 2026.
