A post-graduate formation pathway integrating neuroscience, attachment, and Christian theology into clinical practice.
This is for clinicians who felt called to the work — who pursued graduate training and licensure out of a genuine desire to help people heal — and who have found the secular structures of mental health care increasingly inadequate for the depth of healing they believe is possible. NICC is for those who are no longer willing to compartmentalize their faith and their clinical formation.
The NICC model holds neuroscience, attachment theory, and trauma-informed care in rigorous dialogue with Christian theology, giving practitioners a coherent integrated framework — not a fragmented set of techniques. Through structured training, peer cohort learning, and ongoing clinical supervision, clinicians develop the competence and confidence to engage complex cases with clarity, and the community to carry that work without doing it alone.
LPC, LMFT, and LCSW practitioners seeking a rigorous framework for integrating faith with evidence-based practice.
Pre-licensure professionals under active supervision who want to build integration into their clinical identity from the start.
Practitioners who already bring faith into the room but lack a structured, theoretically grounded model to do so with confidence.
Owners and clinical directors who want to establish a shared integration framework across their team.
Through structured training, supervised practice, and ongoing formation, you will develop:
NICC is a framework and a formation process — not just theory or a set of techniques. Supervision is core. Learning is practice-based, built around case review, real feedback, and cohort learning. Real application, not just lectures.
All phases of NICC content delivered on-demand, built for working clinicians who need flexibility without sacrificing depth.
Live virtual sessions with the teaching team each month — structured instruction, discussion, and real-time integration with your peers.
Groups of 5 clinicians meeting weekly with a certified NICC supervisor — the heartbeat of clinical formation.
Immersive, live in-person training: case role-play, video review, and real-time peer feedback — where the model becomes embodied practice.
Structured case review and feedback built into every phase. No clinician navigates complex cases without support.
A trusted peer network of NICC clinicians for referrals, collaboration, and professional formation — a tribe that shares your values.
Delivered over 12 modules through live virtual intensives, weekly supervision, and structured clinical labs. Built for depth, not just information transfer.
Designed for the working clinician, the program balances intensive learning with sustainable pacing.
Live virtual sessions with the teaching team each month.
