Rosemary A. Leone, MFTC was often referred to as the “Encyclopedia of Systemic Theory” at Regis University, where she graduated from her MMFT program in 2021. She has been applauded for her unique application of systemic theory in ways that result in specific, desired, second-order change in her clients. Diving deep into systemic theory and the main influencers of such, has allowed her to identify the truly transformative principles in each. Her favorite theories to present on include Ambiguous Loss Theory, and Strategic Family Therapy.
As MFT’s, we are tempted to recycle the major therapies again and again in our practice, such as EFT, Gottman, and Bowen informed intervention. Sometimes in doing so, other proven, yet less popular techniques by other greats (Boszormenyi-Nagy, Michael White, and Rollo May) get overlooked despite their palpable abilities to create lasting and meaningful transformation. If your usual therapy habits are feeling stale, this “basics reimagined” presentation is for you.
