At Axis, training is designed for clinicians who want to deepen their use of cognitive-behavioral, acceptance-based, and skills-focused interventions. The goal is to strengthen conceptual thinking, clinical precision, and creativity in application—bridging the gap between research and the realities of practice.

Rooted in CBT and informed by DBT, ACT, and related models, our training emphasizes transdiagnostic case formulation: understanding the mechanisms that maintain suffering across disorders rather than focusing only on symptom clusters.

Clinicians learn to identify and intervene at the level of behavioral avoidance, emotional dysregulation, rumination, and cognitive rigidity, applying strategies that promote flexibility and change.

We focus on core intervention practices including:

  • Chain analysis and behavioral assessment to clarify maintaining contingencies

  • Exposure and response prevention for anxiety, trauma, and emotion avoidance

  • Cognitive modification to test and revise problematic beliefs

  • Skills instruction and coaching to build resilience and self-efficacy

Trainings combine didactic instruction, case consultation, and experiential practice. Participants engage with innovative tools and methods—from digital prompts to behavioral tracking—to enhance client engagement and generalization of skills.

Whether in workshops, consultation groups, or individualized supervision, the emphasis is on helping clinicians think dialectically, intervene flexibly, and embody the principles they teach.
