Join the Movement

Let’s Get Started!

STEP 1: SCHEDULE

Filming takes place on Monday mornings at Ariel’s Denver office location (or on Zoom), if you absolutely cannot do Monday mornings, please let us know. Please e-mail info@thetherapisttoolbox.com to schedule a time.

STEP 2: PREPARE

Brainstorm 1-3 ideas for clinical interventions you would like to feature. The tool(s) can be a metaphor you use in therapy, an experiential exercise, strategy, worksheet you use, etc. The only requirement is that it can be explained in 15 minutes or less and it must be a powerful intervention or assessment, NOT simply an overview of the therapy you use or what it’s like to work with you as a therapist.

STEP 3: APPLY

Complete this application to be considered for a video submission. This form will serve as your bio and video information when your video is posted to the site. Please e-mail this form back prior to your filming date, it will help you feel prepared, as well as help The Therapist Toolbox team organize your information for the website.
