Spiritual Care Specialist Training with Tre Adames

What is the Spiritual Care Specialist Training Program?

People practicing in care ministries, whether professional or volunteer positions, sometimes find themselves at a loss as to how to respond to the kinds of problems around which their care-receivers are seeking help. Addiction, mental health challenges, trauma, and domestic violence are only a few issues that may require a mental health perspective.

The Spiritual Care Specialist Training teaches people engaged in ministries of care to integrate knowledge
and skills from the behavioral health field into their work in order to perform their caregiving more
effectively, ethically, and safely.

Have you ever wanted to learn more about these kinds of issues and build your repertoire of helping skills, so that you can provide a more competent and confident ministry of care? ACPE’s Spiritual Care Specialist training program supports people working in all manner of caring ministries to do their work more effectively, ethically, and safely.

02/19/26: SIP Training Level 1 offers mental health professionals a structured introduction to spiritually integrated psychotherapy

Beginning on 02/19/26, SIP Training Level 1 offers mental health professionals a structured introduction to spiritually integrated psychotherapy grounded in ethics, clinical skill, and thoughtful engagement with spirituality. This training recognizes that spirituality and religion are often deeply embedded in clients’ personal histories, coping strategies, and core understandings of themselves and the world.

Participants join a multi disciplinary, inter spiritual, multi racial learning community focused on education, connection, and professional formation. SIP Training Level 1 is designed for licensed and pre licensed counselors, social workers, marriage and family therapists, psychologists, pastoral counselors, addiction specialists, and graduate students seeking to integrate spirituality into psychotherapy responsibly and effectively.

The curriculum emphasizes a bio psycho social spiritual understanding of human beings and prepares therapists to engage spiritual material without imposing beliefs or avoiding meaningful conversations. Through interactive seminars, role plays, and case illustrations, participants learn practical ways to incorporate spirituality into assessment, intervention, and therapeutic relationship building.

SIP Level 2 begins on 03/20/26 and invites licensed and pre licensed mental health professionals into a learning environment shaped by multidisciplinary, inter spiritual, and multi racial community. This training supports counselors, social workers, marriage and family therapists, pastoral counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, addiction specialists, and graduate students who wish to deepen their understanding of how spirituality, religion, and meaning making influence their clinical work. Participants engage in a curriculum grounded in ACPE values of diversity and inclusion, integrity, curiosity, process, and service.

The Level 2 sequence builds on foundational study by offering deeper work in spiritual interventions, harmful religion, therapist belief systems, and spiritually integrated case conceptualization. Learning occurs through interactive seminars, role plays, small group work, and case illustrations that support growth in clinical judgment, self awareness, and the use of spiritual assessment.

Instructors Beth Toler, Tere Canzoneri, and Melissa Lemons bring decades of clinical, academic, and pastoral experience. Beth integrates psychotherapy, theology, and spirituality through a systemic, trauma informed lens. Tere draws from psychodynamic and systems theory, mindfulness, and cross cultural formation to support reflective practice. Melissa brings relational, holistic clinical expertise shaped by counseling, higher education, and pastoral leadership. Their combined experience strengthens the learning environment and supports participants in building ethically grounded and spiritually attuned clinical skills.

This Level 2 training offers an opportunity to refine interventions, explore the therapist’s own spiritual formation, and practice constructing spiritually integrated case conceptualizations that attend to both client resources and struggles.

Deepening our Roots: Nurturing the Soul and Growing in Connection meets April 24 to 26, 2025 at the Maritime Conference Center in Linthicum, Maryland. This retreat invites therapists, chaplains, clergy, spiritual directors, educators, and other practitioners who feel drawn toward reflective and integrative work. The gathering affirms a wide range of #spiritual expression, including those rooted in a single tradition, those who weave multiple pathways, and those still exploring language that feels authentic. It is a setting where clarity, curiosity, questions, and quiet openness are all welcome.

The retreat is designed around reflective dialogue, experiential practices, embodied exploration, and meaningful community connection. We will explore deepening inner awareness, strengthening relational roots, honoring cultural and #spiritual diversity, practicing embodied presence, fostering professional sustainability, engaging in shared learning and reflection, and growing together in a sense of belonging.

Our schedule runs Friday from 4 pm to Sunday at 12 pm. All meals from Friday dinner through Sunday lunch are included, along with materials and continuing education certificates. A discounted lodging block is available on site. While up to 10 units of continuing education are available, participants don't have to come to every session and it's ok to take space and rest. Maritime Conference Center provides free parking, a complimentary shuttle, complimentary WiFi, a fitness center, walking and jogging trails, and a 100 percent smoke free campus where pets are welcome.

This program offers up to 10.0 hours of continuing education with approvals through NBCC, ASWB, and the New York State Education Department's State Board for Mental Health Practitioners. Questions or accommodation needs may be sent to Latasha Matthews at latasha.matthews@acpe.edu.

SIP Training Level 1 begins on 02/19/26 and addresses spiritually integrated interventions

SIP Training Level 1 begins on 02/19/26 and addresses spiritually integrated interventions that help clients draw upon spiritual resources for stabilization, resilience, and change. Participants learn how to help clients deepen existing resources, reconnect with forgotten sources of meaning, and develop new spiritual supports when appropriate.

The curriculum also addresses spiritual struggles, including loss of meaning, conflict with belief systems, and anger related to faith or religious communities. Therapists often hesitate to engage these areas, yet clients may feel safer exploring spiritual struggle within psychotherapy. The training offers ethical strategies for supporting clients through these experiences.

Learning takes place through interactive seminars, role plays, and case examples that support practical application. The training reflects ACPE core values of diversity, curiosity, integrity, process, and service.

Starting on 02/19/26, SIP Training Level 1 supports clinicians seeking to integrate spirituality into psychotherapy with thoughtfulness, ethical sensitivity, and respect for client diversity.

The ACPE Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy Training Program recognizes that high quality therapists develop over time in formative relationships with colleagues and mentors. SIP Training Level 1 emphasizes professional identity, personal integration, and growth in a distinctive way of being as a clinician.

Participants learn to assess when spirituality supports healing and when it contributes to struggle. The curriculum offers tools for ethical spiritual assessment that are relational rather than checklist driven, supporting nuanced clinical decision making.

Wayne Gustafson’s background includes advanced training in Clinical Pastoral Education across hospital and correctional settings, EMDR Levels 1 and 2, clinical hypnosis, and critical incident debriefing. His teaching reflects a deep commitment to ethical practice and reflective caregiving.
