The diploma in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy will build on your previous education and experience to teach you a unique form of therapy that utilizes spiritual and psychological understandings of healing and growth. Whether you want to become a therapist or expand your knowledge of research and best practices in spiritual care and psychotherapy, this diploma will help you meet your professional and career goals.
This diploma is intended for practicing professionals who are looking for further educational opportunities. The diploma without additional graduate level education will not qualify a student to apply for professional certification or become a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. Students who are interested in entering the field of Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy should make an application directly to the Master of Arts (MA) in Theology: Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy.
You'll take six counselling courses from the current Martin Luther University College course offerings, including courses in spiritual care, family and couples therapy, addictions, and child and adolescent psychotherapy.
Please note that TH664M "Practicum" and TH664L "Pre-Practicum" courses can not be taken by GDip students.
This diploma is intended for practicing professionals who are looking for further educational opportunities. If you are new to the field of psychotherapy, please consider the MA in Theology: Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy program instead.
