“I went to two open houses and I just immediately loved the feel of ICP. I liked how eclectic it was. Then, I applied and got lucky enough to get in. From there, training was rigorous. In the midst of all the challenges, the faculty, mentoring and supervision were personal and supportive of my growth as a therapist. In addition to expanding my knowledge and skills, the training program helped me build the confidence I needed to be the thriving clinician I am today.”
