👉 For Clinicians Ready to Go Beyond Individual Treatment.

Depth over exposure.

Many training programs offer brief workshops or modular certificates. FACTS offers something different: a longitudinal, cohort-based experience that gives clinicians time to actually integrate what they are learning into ongoing clinical work.

ICP’s Family and Couples Treatment Services (FACTS) Program offers post-graduate training for clinicians seeking specialized skills in working with couples and families.

Supervision, case consultation, and peer learning aren't add-ons: they are built into the structure.

A foundation that strengthens specialization.

Research shows that demand for specialized therapists is outpacing the field, growing 15% faster than generalist roles, with clinicians in focused areas seeing up to 20% better placement outcomes.

Clinicians who primarily see individuals still benefit from understanding relational dynamics.

Join us for an upcoming virtual Information Session to learn more about the program -

Upcoming Sessions (All Virtual):
• Sat, April 11 | 11am–12pm ET
• Thurs, April 30 | 6–7pm ET
• Sun, May 3 | 12–1pm ET

The two-year FACTS program begins in September and is open to clinicians who will have a graduate degree in a licensable mental health profession by Fall 2026. Our E. Kitch Childs Equity scholarship provides full tuition support ✨ ICP also offers financial assistance and payment plans.

Navigating the GLP-1RA Boom: What Clinicians Need to Know. 🧠✨
The rise of GLP-1RAs (like Ozempic and Wegovy) has created a supply chain crisis, a media frenzy, and - for many of our clients - an intense new pressure to lose weight.
As providers, how do we stay grounded in body-neutral, weight-stigma-informed care when the marketplace is moving in the opposite direction?

Presenter Melainie Rogers (Founder of BALANCE eating disorder treatment center™) will help us explore:

✅ The history of the HAES movement vs. the current "whiplash."
✅ The impact of high-profile celebrity and athlete endorsements.
✅ Strategies for maintaining a HAES-informed practice today.
Pricing: $20-$85
