How Are Contemplative Psychotherapists trained?
The root of Contemplative Psychotherapy is meditation. The number of colleges and universities that incorporate practices of meditation and mindfulness in the therapist’s training is growing. Naropa University in Boulder Colorado, where I serve as Adjunct Faculty, offers a Master’s Degree in Contemplative Psychotherapy. Extensive training and experience in meditation form the backbone of the curriculum. When seeking a Contemplative Psychotherapist, look for a licensed clinician who is trained at an accredited university.
