AAPC Certification
For several decades, AAPC provided training and the certification of pastoral counselors. Because of the rise of state-licensing and regulation around counseling and psychotherapy, AAPC ceased it certification program years before consolidating with ACPE. However, through the leadership and development of the Psychotherapy Commission, ACPE now offers two continuing education programs for clinical and pastoral professionals: the Spiritually-Integrated Psychotherapy (SIP) program for state-licensed therapists, and the Pastoral Care Specialist (PCS) program for pastors, church leaders, and pastoral care professionals.
Prism Counseling is currently offering a pilot of the PCS program. Click below to learn more:
