Great question. Our one-month experience is much more directive than our traditional Mentorship model (also known as IDDM). In Mentorship, we tend to take longer to go deeper, while this offer is an introductory experience to the CatholicPsych model of accompaniment. We start off with clearly articulated goals, that when accomplished will greatly improve your experience of the immediate circumstances of your life.

You will start off with a coaching call to discuss your goals, and an in-depth questionnaire you fill out on your own time that will give your mentor everything necessary to help you reach them. There are four specific categories you will discuss; Your unconscious narratives affecting your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, your relationship patterns both past and present, your dreams and desires, and your relationship to money. You'll spend roughly a week on each category working daily with your mentor that you are assigned. At the end of the 6 weeks, you'll have a followup coaching call with the same person you had the initial coaching call with.

The CatholicPsych Institute has developed a specialized model of integrated accompaniment, called the CPMAP, that combines faith, reason, and science. We apply the objective principles understood through our model with the subjective experience of your life (as communicated through your intake questionnaire and initial coaching call) to help you move past hidden hurdles and reach your deepest goals.

Yes of course! After the first 6 weeks, you will have a followup coaching call during which you will assess how well you've met your initial goals. During this time you can also discuss options for continued mentorship with your mentor or if you'd like to try to work with someone different. Ongoing mentorship after the first 6 weeks will be based on our traditional IDDM model, which tends to go a bit deeper and is less directive, and will cost more than the one-month time-limited offer. (Though our fees are always based on a sliding scale).

Student mentors are enrolled in our CPMAP Certification Program. This is the official training program of the CatholicPsych Institute in which we train people over 2 years how to integrate Faith, Reason, and Science (Spirituality, Philosophy, and Psychology) to accompany others in a Truly Catholic manner. There is no other training program in the world quite like it.

As part of our program, students are assigned to clients they implement what they are learning with. Each student is under the direct supervision of a Training Director, whom they communicate with on a daily basis. All cases are discussed, and clients are never without the benefit of the attention of the highest trained Mentors of the CatholicPsych Institute.

In choosing to sign up for mentorship with a student mentor, you are giving back to the training and formation of mentors for future clients (which is why there is a much lower fee) while receiving guidance held within the protection of expert supervision. However, if you are not comfortable working with a student, you may opt to work with one of our certified mentors instead still at a significantly discounted rate! Normally mentorship with a certified mentor is $1500/month.
