The Neuroscience Series

Neuroscience is driving a transformative shift in clinical practice. From affect regulation to trauma-informed care, the scientific research is clear and ready to be applied. This groundbreaking series brings you the most current and relevant findings in neuroscience, translated into practical, real-world strategies to enhance treatment effectiveness and deepen your understanding of the human mind.

Why Neuroscience Matters in Clinical Practice

Unfortunately, most master’s-level clinicians have had little formal exposure to the foundational principles of affective neuroscience. Essential insights into how the brain processes emotion, trauma, and memory are often absent from even the most experienced clinicians’ practices.


This series is designed to bridge that gap, providing clinicians the foundation needed to integrate neuroscience into your practice to enhance treatment outcomes and and expanding your understanding of how the brain shapes behavior, emotion, and healing.

What modules do I attend?

Attend one module, a few, or attend them all! You can pick and choose which modules you would like to attend. See below for details to see which module topic you may be interested in!


What is the Certified Applied Neuroscience Counselor (CANC) Certification?

Attend all 12 modules to be eligible to become a Certified Applied Neuroscience Counselor (CANC). Sessions are held each month, year-round, so you can jump in at any time. Once you have attended all 12 modules, you are eligible to apply and take the exam for the CANC Certification through CCALP.org. All certification processes are managed by CCALP.

Join the next generation of clinicians integrating brain science and therapy.

You won’t just learn the science—you’ll learn how to apply it across a range of clinical issues.

Neuroscience can seem complex, but this series is built to meet you where you are. Whether you’re a new clinician seeking a strong foundation or a seasoned supervisor expanding your expertise, you’ll leave every session with tools you can apply immediately in practice.


Each session combines clear explanations with real-world examples designed to build your confidence and understanding step by step.

  • Comprehensive explanations of emerging neuroscience concepts presented in digestible, clinician-friendly terms
  • Practical strategies for applying neuroscience concepts in therapy
  • Extensive handouts and references for continued study and integration
  • Direct connections between neuroscience and widely used therapeutic models
