Spring 2025 CCT Intensive
Level 1 Certification in Christ-Centered Therapy
Introduction to Christ-Centered Therapy: CCT Basics, Establishing a Safe Haven, and Becoming Oneself in Christ
Meeting on consecutive Fridays from 9am to 6pm (Eastern Time), we’ll be using teaching, discussion, experiential exercises, and small groups. This Level 1 Intensive concentrates on promoting the personal renewal of the therapist-participants and introducing them to the basics of Christ-centered therapy. This includes a summary of a Christian worldview framework, including the Christian story, and the priority of narrative, experience, and relationship in CCT, especially the relationship with a therapist; and the main practical skills and interventions of CCT, which render Jesus more accessible.
While primarily for experienced licensed mental health professionals, non-licensed persons with comparable graduate education and training in counseling or a related field and/or commensurate experience are encouraged to submit a request for an exception.
Intensive cost: $1000

Worldview Course Coming in June
Worldviews, Ethics, & Distinctly Christian Therapy
Course Description
A worldview (WV) is the usually implicit set of beliefs, loves, ethics, practices, and possibilities that is assumed in a complex culture or community that grounds and guides its life and activity. Therapy is an activity especially shaped by WV assumptions, and modern therapy reflects the assumptions of its secular WV. So, to do distinctly Christian therapy in our day, Christian therapists need at least a basic understanding of a Christian WV and its secular counterpart. This course focuses on the WV foundation that undergirds all therapy models, the differences between secular and Christian WVs, and how therapy ethics reflects the assumptions of one's WV community.
Course Information
This is a live, online, short course that will be held every Friday, at 3-5pm EST, beginning on June 20 and ending on July 25, 2025, and will last two hours each time, including some Q & A.
Cost: $200
