Call for Conference Volunteers

Present, Purposeful, and Profitable: A Conference for the Modern MFT Practice

Thanks, Breakout Facilitators!


A Note From the Organizers

We believe that the best conferences don't just inform — they transform. The deliberate practice breakout sessions are the heart of this conference, and the facilitators who lead them are central to that vision.

We can't wait to learn alongside you — and alongside the participants you'll inspire.

Whether you're just beginning to imagine your own practice, growing a group you're proud of, or looking to deepen the clinical culture that keeps your team thriving — this conference was built for you.

Present, Purposeful, and Profitable is a multi-day gathering designed specifically for marriage and family therapists who believe that building a sustainable practice and doing exceptional clinical work aren't competing goals — they're the same goal.

Over the course of our time together, you'll explore what it truly means to be present with your clients through feedback-informed care, purposeful in your ongoing development through deliberate practice, and profitable in ways that honor both your values and your livelihood.


What to Expect

You'll leave with more than inspiration. This conference is designed to give you:

  • Real tools for collecting and using client feedback to improve outcomes and retention
  • Practical frameworks for building or scaling a private or group practice that reflects who you are
  • Deliberate practice strategies that move you from competent to truly excellent — and keep you growing
  • Community with fellow MFTs who are navigating the same joys and challenges you are

Who This Is For

This conference is for the MFT who holds a lot at once — the clinical work, the business decisions, the team dynamics, the self-reflection. You might be:

  • A solo practitioner ready to grow something sustainable and fulfilling
  • A group practice owner looking to build a culture of excellence and feedback
  • An aspiring practice owner mapping your path toward independence
  • A clinical supervisor or trainer who wants to bring deliberate practice principles into the work you do with others

If you care about your clients' outcomes and your own longevity in this field, you belong here.


Why Now

The landscape of mental health practice is changing. Clients are more informed. Reimbursement pressures are real. Burnout is a genuine threat. And yet, MFTs who are grounded in their purpose, connected to their clients' experience, and intentional about their own growth are building practices that last.

This is your invitation to be one of them.


We can't wait to learn alongside you.

Registration is open until 9/17!
