Completion Timeline
You will have 8 weeks total to complete your certification requirements.
- This includes the 4-week live container + additional time for integration and submission
- All materials must be submitted within this window to be considered for certification
If additional time is needed:
- You may extend access and support for $150/month
This is simply to keep the process contained, supportive, and moving forward. Reasonable accomodations considered for extenuating circumstances that arise.Â
What You’re Being Asked to Demonstrate
CARC is about demonstrating that you can:
- Hold a safe, regulated space
- Stay within your scope of practice
- Apply your knowledge in a thoughtful, responsive way
- Support clients without diagnosing or treating clinically
This is less about doing things “right” and more about how you think and respond in real situations.
Certification Requirements
To complete CARC, you will submit:
1. Case Studies (3 Written Cases)
- Based on real or practice clients (non-identifying)
- Including (format & details will be provided):
- Client presentation
- Your approach
- Adjustments you made
- Session reflection
2. Case Presentation
- Present at least one case:
- In group (or 1:1 with me)
This is simply an opportunity to:
- Talk through your thinking
- Receive feedback
- Deepen your integration
3. Ethics + Scope Understanding
You’ll complete a short written scenario-based evaluation, including situations like:
- Medication questions
- Trauma disclosures
- Requests for diagnosis
4. Final Integration
A short written or video reflection:
“How I understand anxiety and how I guide recovery”
Scope Reminder (Important + Supportive)
As CARC practitioners, you are:
✔️ Educating and guiding
✔️ Supporting regulation and behavior change
✔️ Working through a nervous system + lifestyle lens
You are not:
âś– Diagnosing
âś– Treating mental illness
âś– Replacing therapy or medical care
âś– Advising on medications
How Certification Is Determined
I will personally review your submissions.
