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.

#TV #ContinuingEducation

Just finished watching this past weekend's broadcast of thr #SundayMorning program on #CBS & watched profiles about 3 people that I had never heard of before:

1) The #IndieMusic singer & songwriter #JeffTweedy.

2) The #Podcaster & so-called #LifeCoach #MelRobbins

And 3) the #ProtestSong singer & songwriter
#JesseeWells

Interesting people who have large following far beyond the small corner of the world that I occupy. 🤷

Beginning on 02/19/26, SIP Training Level 1 prepares clinicians to conduct spiritual assessment

Beginning on 02/19/26, SIP Training Level 1 prepares clinicians to conduct spiritual assessment in ways that are relational rather than checklist driven. Participants learn how to identify clients’ spiritual and religious resources, recognize spiritual struggles, and assess whether spirituality is helping or hindering well being within the therapeutic process.

The curriculum emphasizes gathering this information conversationally and collaboratively, grounded in the therapeutic relationship. Participants explore how spiritual assessment informs intervention, treatment planning, and ethical decision making. Attention is also given to identifying core spiritual themes that may shape clients’ distress, coping, and meaning making.

Level 1 includes five three hour courses delivered through interactive seminars, case illustrations, and small group learning. The training reflects the program’s belief that high quality therapists develop over time through formative relationships with colleagues and mentors.

Starting 02/19/26, SIP Training Level 1 offers a structured and supportive environment for clinicians seeking to integrate spiritual assessment into psychotherapy practice with clarity and care.

SIP Training Level 1 with Beth Toler, Tere Canzoneri, and Melissa Lemons Online February 19th

SIP Training Level 1 begins on 02/19/26 and emphasizes the development of spiritual conversations within psychotherapy that are collaborative, responsive, and grounded in client language. Therapists do not need to be spiritual experts to engage this work. Instead, the training supports clinicians in cultivating curiosity, presence, and skill in recognizing and responding to spiritual openings offered by clients.

Participants learn how to differentiate between explicit and implicit spiritual language, how to initiate conversations without imposing personal frameworks, and how to deepen the therapeutic relationship through respectful engagement with meaning and belief. Attention is given to the ethical dimensions of integrating spirituality, including appropriate use of the therapist’s own spiritual perspectives.

The five course Level 1 curriculum is taught sequentially and includes experiential learning through role plays, small group discussion, and case conceptualization. This approach allows participants to practice skills while reflecting on their own professional identity and clinical stance.

Beginning 02/19/26, SIP Training Level 1 offers therapists a thoughtful entry point into spiritually integrated psychotherapy grounded in relationship, ethics, and clinical wisdom.
