 Message from Jim Thomas, Executive Director

2009 has been another whirlwind year of growth, purpose, and learning at the Denver Family Institute. When the recession hit Colorado, our faculty and Board of Directors wondered, “How will DFI weather the storm?”  In the therapy approach we teach at DFI, we privilege possibilities over pathology, relationships over isolation and action over passivity.   It is no surprise then that we, as in the words of Bruce Springsteen, “Packed our bags and drove straight in to the storm.”  In this time of economic turmoil and change messages coming from Washington, we focused on our core values as an institution, our purpose, and our compelling story.   We did this while always being willing to change that which needs improvement.   Thus, 2009 has been a year of change, growth, and continuous improvement.

DFI is a vibrant therapy provider and learning community for couples and family therapy. We recognize the central importance of relationships in the well being of individuals, couples, families and communities. Additionally we honor the diversity in relationships and of individuals in our world. We welcome students, faculty and clients from different cultures, lifestyles and backgrounds. We have a clear non-discrimination policy in our program. We integrate cultural competence and respect for diversity in all our courses and supervision

Our faculty, we believe, is second to none in the Rocky Mountain region.  Combined, they possess over 175 years of clinical experience!  At the same time our faculty continues to evolve, grow and adapt new ideas in the ever changing field of family therapy.  Students, in our training program, do not teach or provide supervision.  Rather, we hire experienced clinicians we are successful in their own private practices, consultation work or agency employment.  This creates a dynamic faculty community of dedicated  professionals who can inspire and challenge each other to provide an excellent learning experience for our students.  Our students routinely praise the quality of the coursework, with comments like, "This course was better than any graduate class I ever had", not being uncommon.  At the same time instructors bring their unique strengths, skills and background to facilitate learning.

 We welcome your inquiry regarding our couples and family therapy training program and relationship clinic.   Denver Family Institute was established in 1982 and is a COAMFTE accredited program.
