Transform Your Practice with Catholic Christian Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy
Forming Compassionate, Faith-Informed Mental Health Professionals
At the Elijah Institute, we believe that true healing embraces the whole person—body, mind, and soul. In a world where mental health challenges are rising and spiritual needs are often overlooked, we are committed to equipping mental health professionals with the knowledge, skills, and spiritual foundation to provide Catholic Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy (CC-SIP).
Rooted in Catholic anthropology, guided by evidence-based practices, and inspired by the Church’s call to serve, the Elijah Institute trains clinicians to honor both the psychological and spiritual dimensions of every person they serve.
Why Catholic Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy?
- Over 16 million Catholics in the U.S. experience mental health challenges each year.
- Many seek care that respects their faith, values, and spiritual journey.
- Without proper training, therapists risk neglecting or mishandling clients' spiritual lives—leading to distress, dropout, or missed opportunities for deep healing.
The Elijah Institute ensures that mental health professionals are competent, confident, and compassionate in integrating faith into therapy—never as an add-on, but as an essential dimension of holistic care.
