Islamic Psychology and Psychotherapy, Graduate Certificate

The Graduate Certificate in Islamic Psychology and Psychotherapy (GCIPP) uniquely offers an integrated perspective within an Islamic framework for the modern professional practice of psychology. The certificate program fills a gap in the training of current mental health professionals by exposing and teaching trainees how to incorporate Islamic traditions into their professional practice. The program draws upon the existing mental health experiences of such professionals and provides a tailored course sequence designed to fill in the gaps in their training.

This certificate aims to address the pressing need for spiritually competent mental health practitioners who can skillfully work with the religious nuances of Muslim communities. The program's holistic approach will produce a generation of scholars and practitioners to enrich the nascent field of Islamic psychology both locally and globally.
