Do you want to learn a Biblically-based, research-proven therapeutic model that is more than 90% successful?

Would you like to qualify to utilize the Arno Profile System (APS) temperament analysis profile in your ministry, counseling practice, coaching practice, consulting business, mentoring program, or other human services endeavor?

If you answered ‘YES’, this is training you need! 

Creation Therapy, also referred to as Temperament Counseling, is a Biblically based approach to human behavior based on the five temperaments vs four temperaments theory.

You will learn a research-proven therapeutic approach that deals with the inner man (soul realm) rather than outer manifestations and problems. This course is provided, to individuals and groups, in an online or distance learning format.

The concept of Creation Therapy is based on Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created…” and Psalm 139:13-14.

This course teaches how God’s wonderful plan for us works and how to counsel, coach, and mentor people regarding the spiritual, social, intellectual, behavioral, and relational aspects of their life.

We recommend this certification course for pastors, chaplains, ministers, lay counselors, professional counselors, school counselors, mental health providers, counseling ministries, healing and deliverance ministries, life coaches, consultants, mentors, physicians, attorneys, social workers, and human services professionals.  

This course of study consists of internationally recognized training, in a faith-based counseling model, developed by Drs. Richard and Phyllis Arno.  It is also called the Arno Profile System (APS).

Drs. Arno are the founders of Sarasota Academy of Christian Counseling (SACC) and National Christian Counselors Association (NCCA).

The Soul Care Ministries International Institute has had the privilege of offering this course, as an International Representative and strategic partner of the SACC, since 2005!

The purpose of this course is to:

1. Provide the student with the biblical, historical, and scientific background of the theory of temperament as well as the evidence of the validity of this theory and the Creation Therapy technique.
2. Teach the student the general behavior pattern of the five (5) temperaments, how temperament affects every aspect of all our lives, and how to use this information to assist counselees and others who you serve.
3. Introduce the student to a temperament analysis questionnaire, and report, called the Arno Profile System (APS).  This invaluable tool, unlike all other measurements of behavior, measures inborn temperament with an accuracy rate of 95.7%.
4. Provide the student with a credible alternative to the counseling techniques currently available to the Christian community. The therapeutic model taught in this course has a proven success rate of 93.4%. This percentage is based on therapy conducted with more than 7,000 counselees.
5. Teach the student how to provide counsel to others and how to assist their counselees, clients, or mentees in achieving long-term emotional and spiritual well-being.
6. Gain practical experience in administering the APS Questionnaire, and opportunity to apply temperament theory in an actual therapeutic relationship, via a required practicum lab.
7. Provide you with professional tools and certification that will enhance the value and effectiveness of the services you provide.

This course introduces the behavioral patterns of five (5) temperaments within the three areas of the soul: Inclusion (Mind), Control (Will) and Affection (Emotions).  Temperament is the inborn part of an individual that determines how he/she reacts to people, places, and things. It identifies characteristics of an individual’s psychological make-up and how people interact with their environment and the world around them. Creation Therapy teaches that temperament is placed within our soul by God, while in our mother’s womb, and that it will remain with us throughout our lives.  Therefore, what you learn will be quite beneficial for providing Christian Counseling, Christian Life Coaching, and various other ministry and professional services.

You will learn:

• How to assess inborn temperament needs, tendencies, strengths, and weaknesses.
• Conflict resolution skills which focus on the word of God and His principles for healing in the soul realm. 
• The secrets of human behavior and how God’s wonderful plan works when understood and applied.
• A very successful 5-Step model you can adapt to faith-based counseling, coaching, consulting, mentoring, etc.

Creation Therapy, along with the Arno Profile System (APS), works when other counseling methods fail. Why? Because rather than spending session after session in an attempt to correct “symptoms,” the counselor, life coach, consultant, or mentor utilizes a tried and proven plan-of-action and step-by-step process developed to “target” the source of problems or issues. Providing individuals with a “plan of action” saves time and expense because it removes the fear of the unknown. In addition, it provides an immediate sense of stability and renewed hope that “there is a plan — a course of action has been developed and everything is going to be okay”.
