Hakomi Professional Training Levels 1 and 2 offer an accelerated course of study for mental health professionals, interns and students, as well as those with commensurate education and experience in counseling and healthcare practices who have demonstrated equivalent skills and knowledge. In the first course, Level 1, you’ll learn the principles and practices of Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy through brief online video talks, slideshows, demonstrations, and lots of supervised practice in online breakout groups.

In Hakomi Professional Training Level 2, you’ll expand your skills in Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy in three important ways: by developing your “selfhood,” refining your therapeutic strategy, and by working your personal edges as a therapist through in-depth supervised practice. You’ll also refine your therapeutic strategy by learning to choose the tools and interventions that are most appropriate for your clients. Through brief lectures, demos, and in-depth supervised practice, you’ll learn to use Hakomi’s principles and practices to support clients much more confidently, fluidly and effectively.

This training will focus on human psychological and somatic development embedded in the systems that shape the person. Formative years will be emphasized, while exploring the whole life span as context. Special attention will also be given to Indigenous and BIPOC experiences of child development.
