Yes! You can purchase individual courses as stand-alone offerings. This is ideal if you are seeking targeted learning or professional development in a specific area of interest.

You are not required to take courses in a specific order, as individual courses are available for independent study. However, following the recommended course sequence can lead to a more structured and comprehensive learning experience. By progressing through the courses in order, you'll build foundational knowledge that supports more advanced topics, ultimately preparing you for higher levels of expertise. This approach not only helps you gain a deeper understanding but also ensures that you are better equipped to complete the Series and full Levels, leading to certification and specialization in spiritually integrated psychotherapy.

That’s a great question—and an important one. The Elijah Institute is not about proselytizing. Our mission is to support mental health professionals in offering care that honors the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—within the ethical standards of clinical practice. We serve clinicians who are working with Catholic clients and want to integrate their clients’ faith in a respectful, informed, and clinically appropriate way. Just as therapists may integrate other cultural or spiritual frameworks into treatment when it’s part of the client’s identity, we provide the tools to do that effectively with the Catholic tradition. In short, it’s not about converting people—it’s about respecting and supporting people where they are, especially when their faith is a source of meaning, healing, or struggle.
