Professional development rooted in depth, ethics, and presence.
Grounded Learning Institute offers rigorous, relational continuing education and supervision training for professional counselors — through hybrid learning, small cohorts, and retreat-based intensives.
"We believe that when counselors are given space to reflect, grow, and lead — the whole profession deepens. That belief is at the heart of everything we do at GLI."
Grounded Learning Institute was founded by Drs. Jeni Fetzer and Debbie Sturm — counselor educators, practicing counselors, and clinical supervisors who bring both academic rigor and real-world clinical experience to every program they design.

GLI exists for counselors who are ready to go deeper — into their practice, their professional identity, and their capacity to lead. Our programs are designed for those who want supervision and continuing education to mean something: small cohorts, scholar-practitioner faculty, ecological awareness, and learning grounded in real clinical life.
