An Opportunity to run Group Mentoring for the Relational Life Institute
We are looking for fully certified RLT therapists to contract with the Relational Life Institute to host a series of SGMs (Small Group Mentoring) in 2024.
Details About The Opportunity
We are looking for RLT professionals that want to facilitate 4-10 SGMs in 2024. This opportunity includes training on how to run SGMs, faculty support, as well as $2000 payment per SGM you run.
Small Group Mentoring (SGM) is part of the RLT certification process. 5-6 students meet with 1 facilitator (you) over the course of 6 months to hone their RLT skills and prepare for their case review, which is the final step in the RLT certification process. The facilitator and students meet for 90 minutes every 2 weeks (occasionally skipping due to holidays/facilitator vacation).
SGMs include sharing recorded work, case consultation, additional skill practice, and personal work (e.g. talking about how we use ,or don’t use at times, RLT in our own relationships and our own inner struggles in the therapist/coach chair).
You will be trained and prepared to run SGMs in February and March 2024, so that you can start running SGMs from April.
Requirements
- Fully certified RLT therapists that went through a 6 month SGM as part of your certification
- 2 years+ of experience working with couples

What Is Relational Life Therapy?
Using a range of powerful diagnostic and transformative tools, RLT helps people to first reconnect to themselves—their feelings, needs, and desires—to build a stronger, more intimate connection with their partner.
Step 1: Waking Up
RLT therapists use loving confrontation to wake clients up to their negative behaviors in a direct but compassionate way. We show clients the difficult truths about how they are harming their relationships in a way that builds trust rather than resistance.
Step 2: Healing & Transformation
Swiftly get to the root of negative behaviors, understand them, and overcome them. Unique to RLT, deep trauma and inner child work is done in the presence of the partner. This allows individuals to go deeper and couples to grow closer.
Step 3: Relational Skills For Life
RLT equips people with the powerful tools they need to continue building authentic, healthy relationships long after their time in therapy is over—the key to creating change that lasts.
