CERTIFICATE PROGRAM

The Certificate Program is offered through our Training Institute for Integrative Psychotherapy and is currently under development. The inaugural class is slated to begin in the summer of 2008.

The Certificate Program is designed for individuals who have already completed a master's degree in a mental health discipline and want to receive additional training in movement-oriented, body-centered approaches to psychotherapy.

The Certificate Program can be taken as a sequenced course of study that is divided into specific modules over a two year period of time, although it is also possible to take each of the various classes separately with prior approval by the Institute director.

If taken as a sequenced course of study over two years the Certificate Program is designed to meet alternate route requirements for registration as a Dance/Movement Therapist Registered (DTR) with the American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA) and as a Registered Somatic Movement Therapist (RSMT) with the International Somatic Movement Education and Therapy Association (ISMETA).

For more information about the Certificate Program or to receive an application for matriculation into the 2008 Certificate Program, please contact Ryan Kennedy, Executive Director.

For individuals who are participating in various non-traditional educational programs, such as distance learning degrees or alternate route credentialing avenues, having access to independent study opportunities can be quite valuable.
The clinical staff andfaculty of DPCS/Noeticus have a great deal of combined experience asinstructors and professors in higher education are willing to work with learners locally or remotely in order to develop an appropriate independent study course or curriculum tailored to fit the needs of the student as well as the institute or organization that is sponsoring the independent study. For more information about developing an independent study course please contact Ryan Kennedy, Executive Director.
