Who is eligible for our Program?

To be eligible for our program, you will need to have a masters in social work, mental health counseling or another related mental health field. In addition, we usually require at least two years of post degree clinical experience. If you are not fully licensed, you can accrue hours towards your license in ICP’s distinguished adult treatment clinic.

Admission Requirements

• Graduate degree in either psychology, social work, counseling, pastoral counseling, medicine, psychiatric nursing or other mental health professional
• License
• Two years of supervised, full time clinical experience as a mental health provider

Readiness for Training

The applicant’s previous training and experience will be assessed as part of the admissions process. Because trauma work is demanding and involves many new concepts, basic therapeutic skills should already be in place. Applicants should have some familiarity with psychodynamic concepts such as transference and countertransference.
