The Center for Journal Therapy was founded in 1988 by Kathleen Adams. It was incorporated in 2007.
Mission
To make the healing art of journal writing accessible to all who desire self-directed change.
The Center for Journal Therapy lives this mission through its many outreach efforts. Books, speaking engagements, workshops, consultations, audiotapes and papers bring Kathleen Adams’ wisdom to people and helping professionals everywhere. Popular media spreads the Center’s core messages through coverage in newspapers and magazines.
Vision
The Center for Journal Therapy is the premier source of education and training on the power of writing to heal body, psyche and soul.
Kathleen Adams is one of the living masters in the field of writing and healing. She shares her unique depth of understanding through consultation, program development, training, speaking, teaching, facilitating groups, coaching and counseling. Many of the programs are offered in the Center’s headquarter facilities in the foothills west of Denver. Retreats and intensives are held in the Rocky Mountains and other natural settings. On-site programs for hospitals, clinics, agencies, corporations and organizations can be customized for targeted outcomes.
In 2008 this vision was actualized when the cyberdoors of the Therapeutic Writing Institute opened and a new era in training began. For the first time, a comprehensive, curriculum-based training program in the theory and ethical practice of therapeutic writing became available — in a sophisticated yet simple learning platform.
