Reiki for Mental Health Professionals™
Part One
3 hr CE
Reiki for Mental Health Professionals™ – Part One is a foundational course designed for licensed and pre-licensed mental health professionals who want to integrate Reiki responsibly, ethically, and effectively into their clinical or wellness-based work.
This course bridges traditional psychotherapy with energy-informed, body-based regulation practices, offering clinicians a structured way to incorporate Reiki as a complementary support rather than a replacement for evidence-based treatment.
Part One focuses on professional clarity, ethical integration, and foundational Reiki practice, ensuring participants understand how and when Reiki can be used within scope of practice while maintaining client safety, informed consent, and documentation standards.
This training is ideal for:
- Licensed mental health professionals (LPC, LCSW, LMFT, Psychologists, etc.)
- Pre-licensed clinicians and interns
- Therapists interested in integrative, somatic, and holistic approaches
- Mental health professionals experiencing burnout or compassion fatigue
- Clinicians seeking ethical guidance on incorporating Reiki into practice
Prerequisite: Reiki 1&2 training is required.

Curriculum
Your instructor
Asha W. Sims, LCMHCS, is a Reiki Master, Clinical Energy Practitioner, Licensed Professional Counselor, Hatha Yoga Instructor, and certified hypnotherapist. With a strong focus on trauma, anxiety, and stress-related concerns, I integrate somatic and energy-based approaches with clinical practice. My chakra-informed framework helps connect core energy centers to development, resilience, and mental well-being in a way that is practical and clinically relevant.
In Reiki Training for Mental Health Professionals, I teach a grounded, trauma-informed approach to ethically integrating Reiki within scope of practice. I’m passionate about helping clinicians build skills that support nervous system regulation, therapeutic presence, and clinician self-care—while centering safety, cultural humility, and evidence-informed decision-making. My teaching is hands-on, clear, and designed to translate directly to real-world clinical work.
