Certificate in Neuropsychotherapy
Unlock the power of the brain to transform your clinical work with our Neuropsychotherapy Certificate (15 CEs). This self-paced, on-demand credential-eligible program brings together four in-depth courses that show you exactly how to integrate neuroscience into therapy. You’ll learn proven techniques to rewire brain pathways for healing trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction; discover how early adversity reshapes the brain and how to restore resilience in both children and adults; explore the neuroscience of addiction and practical strategies to reduce relapse; and master grounding techniques that regulate emotions, calm the nervous system, and strengthen therapeutic engagement. By the end, you’ll walk away with a toolkit of brain-based, evidence-supported interventions you can put into practice immediately—helping your clients achieve deeper, lasting change.

Why Choose Us?
Why Choose Our Certificate in Neuropsychotherapy Program?
Neuroscience and the brain form the basis of mental health and illness, so integrating practical knowledge of the brain into our therapy practice is the best way to help clients achieve long term therapeutic success AND better understand themselves in the process. Our program not only presents an opportunity for you to expand your expertise in clinical mental health, but it also serves as an additional credibility marker to make you more attractive to your ideal clients or employers.
This comprehensive certificate program provides you with synthesized research and practical knowledge of the brain you can easily understand. This program is also skills-intensive and contains everything you need to begin integrating neuroscience into your clinical practice to promote long-term recovery and healing in your clients. You can do it in about 15 self-paced hours. If you opt to submit your training requirements to receive your NPT-C™ post nominal credential, you will not be required to take additional courses or pay more money just to keep your certificate and your new post-nominal credential “current.” We believe that when you’ve gained these practical neuroscience skills, you don’t lose them after one year, or five years. Just as you don’t have to earn your degree over and over, neuroscience and brain-informed therapy skills and competence are improved over time, not lost, so long as you continue to practice these skills. If you find that you’re getting a little dusty, or feeling a little tentative, we welcome you to attend our group consultations (up to 4 are included with your enrollment for FREE!), retake one or more of your enrolled on-demand program courses at no additional cost, or register for additional courses in our live webinar or home study CE catalog. Individual consultation sessions with Dr. Sweeton are also available if you’d like some dyad practice or more individualized help.
When you earn your Certificate in Neuropsychotherapy and NPT-C™ post nominal credential through Mind Works Continuing Education, LLC, you gain a credibility marker that can help you communicate to potential clients and employers that you’re equipped to serve clients using integrated neuroscience and evidence-informed brain-based skills! And because the certificate and your certification credential doesn’t expire, you don’t have to worry about anyone telling you to stop listing it on your website, directory listings, etc.
We’re eager to help you start your neuroscience learning adventure (we are all powered by neuroscience and coffee around here)! If you have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at cc@onlinececredits.com.
