About Crucible
Crucible Therapy is the first integrated marital and sex therapy based on differentiation.
Crucible Neurobiological Therapy is the first interpersonal neurobiological therapy based on mind-mapping and traumatic mind mapping.
Mind mapping is your brain’s ability to make mental maps of other people’s minds.
Differentiation is your ability to hold on to yourself while the people around you are losing it.
The Crucible Institute and Marriage & Family Health Center are dedicated to developing and teaching advanced psychotherapies to the public and mental health professionals.
