For Professionals

INTERESTED IN EXCELLENT TRAINING OR SUPERVISION in FILIAL THERAPY? Please note…

Dr. VanFleet is reducing much of her Filial Therapy (FT) work in order to have time to do more writing and creating more video content that will be useful to therapists. Her relevant online courses, books, manuals, and general information remain available on this site and in the Shop.

Risë has turned most of the training, supervision, and certification over to a consortium of highly experienced professionals who are Certified Filial Therapy Instructors and Supervisors in the original full family Guerney model of FT as taught by Dr. VanFleet. This consortium is called the International Institute of Filial Therapy Professional Education. If you have questions, please contact them at admin@iiftpe.org.

If you encounter any problems, you may contact Risë at rise@risevanfleet.com.
