The world is facing a mental health crisis, yet aspiring practitioners face an insurmountable regulatory maze. As the field reorganizes around the awareness of trauma, the traditional diagnostic models often shut out the very healers we need most.

Somatic and integrative therapies have emerged as some of the most effective for treating trauma. Naturally, students are drawn to study and utilize these techniques.

Yet, practitioners seeking education and training outside conventional pathways face a curious and frustrating reality: there is no clear pathway for alternative and somatic mental health practitioners. Practitioners who do not subscribe to the traditional diagnosis-and-treatment model face astronomical education costs and “regulatory lock” that prevents a clear, professional pathway.

Integrative Psychology was created to address this challenge and transform the culture of mental health and the educational pathways that support the modern student.

Our mission is to make pathways into thriving mental health careers simpler and more accessible for all.
