Join Chris O'Rear, MDiv, MMFT for Level 1 and 2 of ACPE: The Standard for Spiritual Care & Education's Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy Training.

The SIP training program is a multi-disciplinary, inter-spiritual, multi-racial community of persons gathered for education, connection, and formation in the work of spiritually integrated psychotherapy. It serves licensed and pre-licensed mental health professionals (i.e., counselors, social workers, marriage and family therapists, pastoral counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, addiction specialists, and more), as well as graduate students in any of those disciplines who seek to explore the ways spirituality, religion, and the search for meaning influence their own lives and the lives of their clients.

Our therapists will be offering telehealth options for our clients during this time. Clients may contact their therapist with any questions. Our offices at Springfield First United Methodist Church and at St. Philips Episcopal Church remain open.
