Certified Integrative Behavioral Health & Wellness Coach

 

What makes a Behavioral Health Professional Integrative?

An Integrative Professional takes a balanced approach by considering the whole person in regard to their bio-psycho-social-spiritual aspects using a client-centered individualized approach that would benefit the body as a whole with the understanding that all aspects work together symbiotically for a complete picture of health and wellness.

 

What makes a program certified?

A certification program is a defined set of components or training programs offered by an organization to members to prove that they have achieved a measured level of knowledge within a designated timeline.

Legally speaking, any organization can create its own certification programs and issue certificates, and no accreditation is needed for doing that. The required credentials and experience of the instructor(s) are established by the organization.

Class Attendance is Mandatory for Certification. The fee for this entire program is $100 which is placed in escrow and is returned in full to students who have attended all classes.

 

Classes are on Monday evenings from 6pm-9pm on specified dates only (subject to change with plenty of advance notice). Please arrive at least 10 minutes early to be prepared and situated as we start right at 6pm. You are either early or you are late. There is no “on time”
