Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider (CMHIMP)
Now through June 7th, to support PTSD Awareness Month, I am offering you at no charge, a second certification on Nutrition and Integrative Medicine for Diabetes, Cognitive Decline, and Alzheimer’s Disease
Added Bonus! When you enroll, you will be entered into a raffle to win my audiobook: “Nutrition Essentials for Mental Health”
You will complete this rich, dynamic course prepared to provide your clients with personalized, evidenced-based care that provides the missing link to mental health today. I will teach you the clinical art and science of nutritional, natural and integrative medicine to treat trauma and PTSD, depression, anxiety, insomnia ADHD and more, all methods proven to improve mood and mental health.
This certification training delivers state-of-the-art methods, including trauma-informed assessments and interventions, nutritional psychology, yoga, herbal medicine, detoxification and so much more. I will teach you how to navigate the complex relationship between what we eat and how it affects the way we think, feel, and interact with the world.
I developed this certification in response to my students, who often ask me, “How do I incorporate your methods into my practice?” “How can I do what YOU do?”
Following certification, you become eligible to attend my Advanced Applications of Integrative Medicine for Mental Health. I teach this course live, online. We meet in a small group on a monthly basis, to explore advanced methods, new interventions and do case review with live discussion. (For CMHIMP graduates only.)
Our clients want to have more balanced moods, reduce insomnia and anxiety, get off medications with side effects, and do so, naturally. Our clients want help with ADHD, focus, panic attacks, seasonal affective disorder and Bipolar.
I give you the tools and language to treat, educate, support client change, talk with other providers and make appropriate referrals
In this course I guide you step-by-step, using dynamic lectures, demonstrations, handouts, and real Q&A sessions as you learn to become a Certified Integrative Medicine for Mental Health Provider.
My goal? To support you to become a Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider and create a satisfying career by helping your clients. And in the process, you will enhance your own health as well!
