    Dr. Todd Grande thoroughly covers several disorders and therapies. Gestalt chair therapies were of particular interest. I highly recommend this series for those seeking an introduction to counseling as well as those looking to expand their expertise in different therapeutic techniques.
  • The course was very educational and was a great experience for me on teaching me. How and what I am to expect as being a counselor in the period of grief and instructing clients in a way that is ethical and professional in a great sense. I really enjoyed the course.
