spiral2grow of New York City also provides a unique training opportunity for mental health clinicians in the field of marriage and family therapy. Since spiral2grow is committed to providing high quality service, their candidates are selectively chosen. The training program gives emphasis to the application of short and long treatment goals, the theory and practice of systemic treatment. It offers therapeutic engagement that may include individual, couple, family, and group therapy with clients of diverse backgrounds.
