Elijah Institute's Impact

Partner With Us!

Help us train 48,000 Catholic mental health professionals.

The Elijah Institute is on a mission to transform mental health care—by training licensed professionals to integrate Catholic Christian faith with evidence-based psychotherapy. Your support helps us deliver a first-of-its-kind, spiritually grounded curriculum that empowers therapists to offer truly holistic care.

Why It Matters

Each year, over 50 million Americans—including millions of Catholics—experience mental health challenges that require professional support. Yet many struggle to find that professional support that honors both their psychological needs and their Catholic faith.

Catholic Christian integrated psychotherapy is different. It integrates evidence-based clinical practices with the richness of Catholic anthropology—recognizing the human person as a unity of body, mind, and soul, created in the image of God.

By training mental health professionals to offer this kind of holistic, faith-informed care, we’re not just improving access—we’re restoring hope, affirming dignity, and empowering people to flourish in every dimension of life.

What's behind the name, "The Elijah Institute?"

Elijah’s biblical journey is one of resilience, healing, and divine care. At his lowest point—alone, exhausted, and despairing—God met Elijah with rest, nourishment, and a whisper of purpose. We aim to do the same in mental health: to meet people where they are, restore hope, and equip Catholic clinicians to be agents of healing.

“And after the fire came a gentle whisper.”—1 Kings 19:12
