Every clinical team has cases that test them. Clients who struggle to trust help, or whose complexity creates strain not just in the room, but across the whole team. AMBIT (Adaptive Mentalization-Based Integrative Treatment) was built for just such cases.

Join Ellenhorn Director of AMBIT Shelly Simpson, LCSW for an AMBIT workshop and consultation series. The series will feature academic lectures and skill-building activities, and attendees will leave with AMBIT techniques they can immediately put into practice.
