Mothercentered Certification
MATERNAL MENTAL HEALTH + INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS = MOTHERCENTERED
The Mothercentered certification process provides a way of establishing
consistency in knowledge and skills across practitioners. Certification implies the satisfaction of educational and practicum standards, to anchor and inspire your contributions in maternal mental health.
Why Get Certified?
You can only bring clients as far as you’ve gone yourself.
Being a therapist and being a mother are parallel processes. You can’t give something to your child that you don’t have for yourself. Same with clients.
Mothercentered supports practitioners in:
-
Providing specialized, effective treatment for maternal mental health
-
Understanding and working skillfully with Mom Parts dynamics
-
Creating healing spaces that normalize the full spectrum of maternal experience
-
Breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma through parts-based intervention
-
Building thriving practices centered on therapist (and maternal) wellness
A New Perspective On Motherhood
Open to all practitioners who work closely with mothers (not just therapists).
No prior training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) is required.
Mothercentered provides a new way of looking at motherhood, focusing on an expectable set of Mom Parts that emerge in matrescence and persist through time. The certification process guides you toward confidence and clarity in working with Mom Parts effectively, using the Mom Parts Method.
How Is This Beneficial?
Moms need support for listening to the quiet, distant voice of self-interest again. So do you. They need time, space and permission to tune into and tend to their own experience so that they can name and befriend their protective parts. So do
you. They need to be part of a community that normalizes their parts and their truths and helps them discover their bountiful inner resources. So do you.
