Testimonials

"An Eye-Opening Experience!"
I’m so glad I finally joined this training — it’s been incredibly informative. I only wish I hadn’t delayed it for so long!

Registered Psychotherapist from Ontario
"A Game Changer for My Practice!"

 I have been failed tremendously by multiple providers over the past four years as I struggled with my health. But after completing this course, I’ve already started seeing improvements. This training is a game changer for me and for the future clients I’ll work with.
LCSW from California
"Interactive and Engaging!"

I REALLY enjoyed this training — the small group size, variety of speakers, and interactive experience made all the difference. It was a real treat to have both Dr. Bev and Dr. Ariel present each week. I look forward to staying connected!

Meet Your Mentors:

Dr. Dalfen and Dr. Young

With over 50 years of combined expertise in women's mental health, Dr. Dalfen and Dr. Young are aware of the gaps in women's healthcare. They created BRIA Academy to train clinicians and providers. They offer courses with vetted expert instructors to help understand, assess, and support clients through reproductive life stages, where mental health, hormones, and life stresses combine.

FAQs

Who should take this training?

Social workers, psychologists, registered psychotherapists, licensed counselors, nurses/nurse practitioners, physicians/physician assistants, and any other healthcare provider who is interested in expanding their practice to treat women's mental health and hormone issues. We welcome providers in Canada and the US and across the globe.

How is BRIA Academy different from other training?

We teach you clinical pearls "from the trenches." Our training is designed by two leading psychiatrists and based on actual clinical protocols used daily at their women's mental health clinic, BRIA. It’s case-based, practical, and includes a 24/7 peer support community.

What if I can’t attend the live sessions?

All sessions are recorded and uploaded to your student dashboard within 24 hours. If you are unable to join live, you can catch up on your own schedule. 

Will I get a certificate from the training?

Yes! After completing each course and a final quiz, you will earn a digital credential. You may showcase your expertise on your website and socials, signaling to clients and referrers that you are a trusted provider.

What's the cancellation policy?

We are unable to offer cancellations. If you are unable to attend the course live, you will still have access to all the recordings, resources and materials, as well as the community of professionals for peer consultation.

Will I get CE credits upon course completion?

We are in the process of seeking accreditation for our certification courses. Until then, many professionals submit for unaccredited learning hours.
