The vision and mission of the Phoenix Family Therapy Academy is to provide exceptional quality, contemporary training and professional development in family therapy and systemic practice that integrates both theory and practice, and classic and contemporary approaches to meet a variety of Professional Development needs. 

​​

The training and professional development offered by Phoenix Director Dr Leonie White is grounded solidly upon a foundation of systemic principles and thinking making it widely applicable across disciplines and to any work context.  Phoenix takes a multi-positioned perspective, drawing on theory and practice from across the evolution of family therapy including first, second and third generation approaches, and  contemporary practice including considerations of Neuroscience, Evidence-Based Practice, Trauma Informed Care and Integrative Practice.

​

At Phoenix a core value is the delivery of a personalized experience, providing a supportive and collaborative adult learning experience within which relationships and unique individual needs are prioritized.  It is a privilege to walk alongside Professionals as they engage with systemic thinking and develop an understanding of which aspects of Family Therapy fit for their systemic practice framework, and how they integrate Family Therapy and Systemic Practice with their other therapeutic modalities.
