NICC Basic Training
Welcome to the NICC® Basic Training Program!
Equip Yourself to Transform Lives.
The Neuroscience Informed Christian Counseling® (NICC) Basic Training is designed to empower pastoral counselors, coaches, and lay leaders. Whether you’re serving in a local church, ministry, or community, this training will equip you with the foundational knowledge to practice mental health coaching that beautifully integrates biblical wisdom and cutting-edge neuroscience under qualified supervision.
Vision & Purpose
Embodying the Heart of the Gospel.
Isaiah 61:1–3 calls us to “bind up the brokenhearted” and “comfort those who mourn.” Just as Jesus brought healing and transformation, NICC® Basic Training aims to train leaders to provide holistic care—addressing the mind, body, and spirit of those facing mental health challenges.
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to equip the local church to confidently and compassionately care for mental health concerns, fulfilling its God-given calling. With the NICC approach, you’ll gain the skills to help others heal, experience Christ’s transformative love, and thrive emotionally and spiritually.
Why Choose NICC?
Integrating Science, Faith, and Healing.
The Neuroscience Informed Christian Counseling® model is more than a framework—it’s a movement toward holistic healing that integrates theological truths with neuroscience and psychology. Leveraging God’s design of the brain, this model enables growth, healing, and change. With insights into memory reconsolidation, emotional regulation, and attachment theory, you’ll gain new tools to minister effectively and bring life-changing impact to those you serve.
You don’t need a master’s degree to start this journey. The NICC Basic Training is your entry point into a world of practical, Scripture-based therapeutic skills, supported by the latest neuroscience. Plus, for those who sense a calling for more advanced training, this course lays the groundwork for graduate-level NICC coursework.
What You’ll Learn
- Foundational Neuroscience & Scripture: Discover how the brain processes emotions, trauma, and healing through the lens of both Scripture and science.
- Therapeutic Tools & Techniques: Learn practical tools such as Immanuel Imagery, memory reconsolidation, and mismatch work to bring healing to emotional wounds and integrate spiritual truth.
- The Power of Relationships: Gain insights from both the Bible and psychology on how healthy relationships can foster healing in yourself and others.

How NICC Brings Healing
At the heart of NICC is the concept of Thriving—living an abundant life characterized by contentment, joy, and significance, as designed by our Creator. The NICC model uses therapeutic protocols like Immanuel Imagery to facilitate deep emotional healing, tapping into both the neuroscience of memory reconsolidation and the power of biblical truths.
What Makes NICC Different?

- Practical Skills You Can Use Immediately: This course provides hands-on, practical tools for immediate use in coaching and pastoral care settings.
- Transformative Healing Process: By introducing mismatching experiences and engaging with core emotional memories, the NICC approach guides people from trauma to thriving.
