ACPE Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy Training – Level 2
June 7, 2025 @ 9:30 am - June 28, 2025 @ 4:30 pm
ACPE Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy (SIP) Training
Level 2, 15 hours by Zoom beginning June 7, 2025
Why: Recent research demonstrates the importance of recognizing and working with spiritual issues that clients inevitably bring to psychotherapy, yet many psychotherapists do not have the training and confidence to deal with spiritual or religious issues without promoting or imposing their own beliefs and values.
What: ACPE: The Standard for Spiritual Care and Education, (www.acpe.edu), drawing on the wisdom of seasoned clinicians and faculty in accredited Pastoral Counseling and Psychotherapy degree programs, has created an in-depth 30-hour (in two 15 hour levels) training program in Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy (SIP).
Thank you to Crossroads of Caring, Inc., Rochester, NY for assistance in promoting this training.
Who: Licensed and pre-licensed psychotherapists, counselors, mental health/ health professionals, case managers, substance abuse counselors, etc.
For those licensed in NY, CEUs available for LMSW, LCSW, LMFT, LMHC, and PhD and PsyD psychologists. For others see ACPE, the sponsoring agency, for other CEU information here:
