Group Training for CSATs
Supportive and cost-effective training for CSATs in a group setting
As a support to CSAT therapists and candidates, I facilitate a variety of educational online workshops to help you create a plan with action steps to strengthen various aspects of your therapy practice and to support the clients you work with. Attendees share that the workshops are, "Educational, focused, organized, welcoming, structured, with tools I can immediately use with my SA clients and partners."
Each workshop is outlined below and is facilitated by Mari A. Lee, LMFT, CSAT-S on a first come first served basis. You may review the information below, and then you are welcome to contact Mari to register for the next group online workshop.
Formal Disclosure Workshop
“Mari, I want to thank you again for yesterday. What an awesome Formal Disclosure workshop! I continue to learn so much from you every time we connect. I feel so lucky to have met you and I’m honored to have you as a valued colleague. ”
Formal Disclosure is a challenging part of the healing process for couples recovering from sex addiction. As such, FD is not a one time session, or 1-2 hour event. Instead it is a complex and structured process that must be carefully executed by the CSAT therapist and treatment team.
Because FD is often a traumatic event for the partner, as well as an anxiety activating event for the addict in recovery, it is essential to have a step-by-step treatment outline guiding each stage for the couple, as well as a focused road map for the treatment team.
Additionally, implementing a practice policy with forms and after care plans that meet standard of care within the CSAT specialization is an important part of ethical clinical care. Having a structured and focused treatment plan in place not only benefits and supports the couple, but reduces anxiety and confusion within the therapeutic team.

How to Start a Men's SA Recovery Group
“Receiving consulting with Mari was a real treat! She is very warm, caring and encouraging, as well as having a wealth of ideas, resources, information and great suggestions. Additionally, she was invaluable in helping me start my therapy group for male sex addicts based on her years of experience in this area. I highly recommend Mari’s training!”
Sex addiction thrives in isolation and secrecy. A key component to successful recovery is adding group therapy to the treatment planning of sexual recovery. While addicts in recovery may be initially reluctant to begin group counseling, once they join in the group process, a great many addicts share that this experience becomes a foundational support in their healing journey.

During this workshop, Mari will guide you through a step-by-step, focused and thorough training on how to lay the foundation of a successful group start to finish.
