We are excited to present our guest speaker, David C. Olsen to Clergy Day.

He has done extensive post-graduate work in family therapy from a Bowen family systems paradigm.

David serves as co-founder of the Relationship Renewal model of working with couples, which seeks to both train therapists in this approach and research outcomes of this approach to couples therapy. David presents workshops nationally on topics involving families and couples—his passion is working intensively with couples. He also provides consultations to congregations, family businesses, and other organizations. He also specializes in the integration of spirituality and psychotherapy.
