Hear from other Therapists:

LMFT in SCV-CAMFT

David was able to model an attitude of curiosity, competence, and compassion all at the same time! He is masterful!

Attended "Queer Couples Commnication"

Very informative, as a queer person and therapist, this was needed.

LCSW in California

I always love listening to David Khalili. He is knowledgeable and a good presenter.

LPCC in Southern California

As a neurodiverse therapist, I appreciated the mix of lecture, scenario-based discussions, and periodic Q&A. The material was far more interesting than the usual dry Law and Ethics course. The presenter was clearly up to date with information and able to reflect on how attitudes and language have changed over time.

Lori C, CA Therapist

David is a warm and informed instructor and easy to engage with both in-person and via recorded presentations which is not always an easy task. I have taken several courses with him and enjoyed them all.

LMFT in San Francisco

I appreciated the inclusive framework and the emphasis on thoughtful, ethical, and affirming practices.
