Arizona Institute For Advanced Psychotherapy Training

Arizona Institute For Advanced Psychotherapy Training AzIAPT was created by therapists and educators to provide useful and experiential training to psychotherapists and students in the field.

POV: You’re a therapist trying to level up in 2026…
and AzIAPT is quietly opening the door for you. 👀

Here’s the truth:
We’re not a giant training empire.
We’re two clinicians who still see clients, drink too much coffee, and occasionally wonder, “Is this burnout… or just Tuesday?”

But because we’re still in the therapy room, we build trainings that are practical, relevant, and actually useful. No fluff. No six-hour lectures you forget the next day. Just skills you can take straight into session.

And 2026?
It’s going to be our biggest year yet.
New workshops.
New supervisors.
New skills that help you feel more grounded and more confident (most days, anyway).

We’re small.
We’re local.
We’re intentional.
And we’re creating the kind of trainings we needed when we were buried in progress notes and impostor syndrome.

If you want first access to the 2026 schedule before seats fill, join the AzIAPT email list.

If you’re old enough to remember this commercial, you’re our people. 👀
“It’s 10pm… do you know where your children are?”

Well tonight, two former latch-key kids who grew up to become the Millennial + Gen X therapist duo you love are planning out the remaining 2025–2026 training calendar.

And we are not playing small next year.

From play therapy to empowerment groups to supervision deep dives… the work is needed, and we’re building for the clinicians who are doing it with heart.

If you haven’t subscribed to our mailing list yet, stop playing.

That’s where the early registration, discount codes, and limited-seat announcements drop first.

Why haven't you launched your private practice?

Imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and the fear of "what if I fail?"

If this is you, we built something designed to get you out of that rut.

A 6-week intensive that tackles the REAL barriers (hint: it's not the business plan or insurance panels, it's what's happening in your head)
What you'll walk away with: → Crystal clarity on your "why" → Tools to work through vulnerability & authenticity blocks → A roadmap that honors YOUR unique therapeutic voice → Connection with other practitioners on the same journey

The reality check: We went from 1 therapist to 13 clinicians delivering 13,500+ sessions last year. Not because we're special, but because we learned to get out of our own way.

This isn't for everyone.

❌ If you want a quick fix or magic formula, skip this

❌ If you're not ready to examine what's really holding you back, not for you

✅ If you're ready to stop making excuses and start making moves, let's talk

Limited to 8 participants max. We're not trying to pack a stadium—we're building a transformation pod.

Improving your practice effectively and efficiently.

At the Arizona Institute for Advanced Psychotherapy Training, we know that many therapists feel that their graduate school training was inadequate to prepare them for the many challenges of clinical practice. We also realize that most of the offerings for training post-graduation are sorely lacking in helping to create new skills and to effectively hone emerging ones. We strive to consistently have a vibrant training calendar that not only offers interesting training, but also training that helps to make you a better and better clinician every day.
