CHFP TESTIMONIALS
CHFP testimonials
"The training experience allowed me the rare opportunity to see the inner workings of another therapist's practice. I greatly appreciated the professional boundaries that were modeled as well as the professional courtesies extended to me during the training. The whole experience was incredible. This was the most rewarding training experience in which I have had the opportunity to participate."
Dr. Vicki Harris Wyatt, LPC, LADC, CSAT, CHFP
Oklahoma City, OK
"The training was Intense and energizing and coalesced my training as a CSAT, as well as my years as a clinician, into a unified whole. It has been the most invaluable training of my career. Thank you for the opportunity to train in the H&F method!"
Dr. Laurie A. Miles, LCSW, CSAT-S, CHFP
Brentwood, TN (Nashville Area)
"I felt that I was taking another step forward in doing something that is very important: helping men reclaim their lives and integrity, and support couples in making a healthy and joyful marriage. I felt privileged to be able to be part of what goes on in your office and that I could bring it back to mine. I have never experienced this level of training before - one-on-one with THE expert on a topic for such a long time. I needed the CSAT training to be able to attempt what I am doing, and the CHFP training was AT LEAST as instrumental to me going forward in my practice."

"Things that were helpful to me: having the training manual, the shared screen and observing Dr. Magness simultaneously deliver the intensive experience to the client made it practical and easy to understand how to implement this in my own practice. While each intensive is individualized to the couple or individual, having specific steps to follow takes all the guess work out so that the delivery is smooth and organized every time. While other models work, the model that Dr. Magness has constructed is so much more hopeful in that couples come in defeated and leave feeling empowered that the relationship can survive. The fact that hope renewal happens in 3 days versus months is amazing and hard to find in an outpatient setting."
Michelle Nault, LPC, CSAT, CHFP
Birmingham, AL
"What was most helpful to me was the direct observation of Dr. Magness' work and discussions immediately following work segments. I really needed every part of what we did. It was exciting, intellectually stimulating, and tiring."
Dr. Alexis (Alexandria) Polles, MD, FAPA, FASAM, CHFP, CSAT-S,
Partner Trauma Specialist, EMDRIA
Ponte Vedra Beach, FL & Cumberland Furnace, TN
"Most helpful for me was the fact that [the training] was one-on-one. It wasn't just "theory-based" but rather me getting to watch you in action, while also participating. You encouraged all kinds of questions and if an opportunity for more training popped up you always took it. I loved that in addition to being incredibly helpful clinically, this program was also incredibly helpful from a business standpoint (assisting me in all aspects of running a successful practice.)"
Erin Grupp, LCSW, CAP, CST, CSAT-S, CHFP
Tampa, FL
"The training was the greatest opportunity to see how Intensives are done. And now I see how it has helped my practice tenfold. I appreciate the care and the detail Dr. Magness put into this. I loved all of it and I loved Houston!"
Pamela Kohll, MS, LMHC, CSAT-S, CCPS, CHFP

"Exhausting but extremely informative. Exactly what I was looking for."
Suzanne Rucker, LMHC, CHFP, CSAT, CMAT, CEMDR
Lake Mary, FL
"It was inspiring to experience intensives as being so uniquely transformative (as the partner's evaluation said this week: impossible to replicate in weekly couple's therapy). I'm glad I did it, and would do it again. A unique "priceless" opportunity for the ways it enhances my skill as therapist and business owner. Thank you, Milton!"
Kate Parkinson, LMFT, CSAT, CHFP
Palo Alto, CA
"The opportunity to simultaneously observe and participate in the intensive process followed by free form in-depth debriefing sessions made for an ideal training format. Milton's collaborative and inclusive training style was encouraging and empowering. The training and support materials are top notch."
Scott Grupp, MS, JD, MBA, CP, ASAT, AMAT, CHFP
Tampa, FL
"The training being conducted during an actual intensive was very helpful. The training has been very beneficial to my clients in their healing and a financial benefit to my practice."
Dr. Crystal Hollenbeck, EdD, LMHC, CST, CSAT, CHFP
Orlando & Tampa, FL
"It was an INTENSE, non-stop learning experience. Highly interesting for me. It didn't come together until the 2nd week. And even then there was plenty of new information to learn. I thought your training was comprehensive, personable, and very high-tech. You're a great teacher/mentor in this field. It was a pleasure to learn from you and to work with you.”
Karen Greenhouse, PhD, MFT, CSAT, CHFP
Studio City & Westlake Village, CA
"The CHFP training was rigorous, abundant, and encouraging.
Rigorous because I was exposed to a new model, new forms and systems, and an entirely different approach to therapy than the typical outpatient I am accustomed to.
Abundant because I was supplied with more resources than I was expecting, including lots of generous gifts such as a Hope and Freedom mug! The coaching I received about "wearing two hats" was very helpful and exceeded my expectations. I did not understand the breadth of your program ... I was stunned at the intricacies of its design yet the flow with all the materials you've created. Then you GAVE me those materials! This training has not only allowed me a gateway into a whole new business model, but a happier life as a result and more confidence in the direction I am going.
Encouraging because you took me on as a trainee and have been rooting for me ever since. You believed in me enough to send me home with my first individual Intensive. The experience of being professionally invested in and cheered-on was very special for me. Being able to meet and enjoy an evening with Kathie was also a treasure."
Hope Ray, MA, LPC, CSAT, CHFP

"Observing the entire process in person was most helpful rather than just reading a textbook. I enjoyed seeing the changes or adjustments that were made with the couple as deemed necessary.
As was the previous training, this week was enjoyable and raised the confidence in my skill set to host an intensive myself. Although, at times, it is like drinking water from a fire hydrant, the training and information gained was very empowering.
Thank you again for the opportunity to sit under your expertise as a CHFP. I hope to use this training to help hundreds of couples in the future."
