Who this course is for
Licensed Catholic Counselors and Therapists
Most CE offerings on this topic push a framework that conflicts with their faith. They feel caught between professional pressure and Catholic anthropology.
This is the course that holds both things you care about: clinical rigor and Catholic truth. You don't have to choose.
Also for Pastoral Ministers and Parish Staff; Catholic University and Seminary Faculty.
