Help People While Expanding Your Practice
Larry Fritzlan, who is dedicated to ending addiction one family at a time, is excited to offer training and certification to licensed medical and mental health professionals who are interested in becoming Family Recovery therapists and being listed on this website as referral sources.
As a Family Recovery therapist, you can combine your knowledge of family therapy and addiction with additional training to provide the help that leads to more successful recovery outcomes for families struggling with addiction and codependency. You can build a solid business as a Family Recovery therapist. In providing this substantive treatment, you can experience the rewards of seeing families grow and heal. You can help address the overwhelming demand for licensed, clinically-grounded, addiction-educated, family system-oriented addiction treatment providers. You can contribute to “ending addiction one family at a time.”
Certification is Simple
The certification process includes viewing a series of brief information-filled training videos, reading our book, Addiction Therapy and Treatment: A Systems Approach, and passing a written exam which tests your knowledge of the common-sense principles and clinical application of Family Recovery Therapy.
The certification videos are presented by Larry Fritzlan, LMFT, developer of the Family Recovery Therapy program. The videos follow the outline of the book and are a perfect enhancement to the information presented there. The videos also include important information on using the FRT model to begin treatment with family members and to address the entire family system. It's the healing of this system that is key to long-term recovery from addiction and codependency and that will end addiction one family at a time.
Training is available to licensed medical and mental health professionals who work with families, have basic education in family systems and addiction, and are dedicated to helping addictive/codependent family systems recover.Join Our Professional Referral Network.
