Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) in Practice
A 2-Day Intensive Training for Mental Health Clinicians
Led by Richard W. Sears, PsyD, PhD, MBA, ABPP
Psychologist • Author • International MBCT Trainer
Transform Your Clinical Practice with Mindfulness
Are you struggling to integrate mindfulness into therapy in a way that’s both practical and evidence-based?
You’re not alone. Many clinicians want to use mindfulness but end up frustrated by vague teachings or strategies that don’t translate into real-world clinical work.
This 2-day intensive changes that.
In this experiential training, you’ll step inside the full 8-session MBCT program, learning not just the theory but how to deliver it in-session, so you can help clients break free from cycles of depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, and more.
By the end, you won’t just understand MBCT. You’ll be ready to implement it with confidence.
Why Choose MBCT?
✔ Evidence-Based Results
Research shows MBCT can cut relapse rates for depression in half while reducing stress, anxiety, trauma symptoms, and chronic pain.
✔ Clinically Flexible
Successfully applied with trauma survivors, children, cancer patients, and clients with chronic pain or addictions.
✔ For You and Your Clients
Mindfulness doesn’t just improve outcomes. It also strengthens clinician resilience and reduces burnout.
“There is no better way to learn mindfulness and MBCT than to experience it for yourself.
Richard Sears has the expertise to immerse you in these concepts and skills to improve your clinical work as well as your own self-care.”
— Zindel Segal, co-founder of MBCT

Interrupt cycles of rumination by targeting the role of thoughts in perpetuating distress.
