CURIOUS ABOUT THE COMPETENCIES OF EACH LEVEL?

WHO CAN GET TRAINED IN TRAUMA MODEL THERAPY?

We don't believe in putting walls between people and knowledge. What is slightly different about Trauma Model Therapy is that anyone can enroll and receive the knowledge. Then, we get a little more selective about who can get certified. 

WE ARE DOING THINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.

Learn Your Way

All training modules are designed to be available in video or audio so you can learn in the way that is best suited to your learning style. 

Immediately Implementable

Training is easy to understand and can immediately be implemented with clients so that you feel more confident in the room. 

Remaining Affordable

Yes, we intentionally set our prices lower than most trainings. We also offer currency-sensitive pricing. A high-cost training doesn't always mean high-quality. TMT is high-quality content. 

Go At Your Pace

We created multiple, shorter lessons so that you can learn when you want and access the content as you have time. 

WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR A MINUTE.
WE JUST DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO
THE NEXT LEVEL.

The Colin A. Ross Institute for Psychological Trauma was formed in 1995 to further the understanding of psychological trauma and its consequences by providing educational services, research, and clinical treatment of trauma-based disorders. Dr. Ross has been offering Trauma Model Therapy Certification for over two decades. We are now modernizing his training system so that more clinicians can engage with the content and pursue certification. You can enroll in all levels at once, or start with Level 1 to see if the modality is for you. 

WHAT'S THE BIG PICTURE?

WE ARE IN THIS TO SEE SYSTEMIC CHANGE IN TRAUMA TREATMENT.

What's in it for me?

Other than becoming a TMT Rockstar? Well, once you are Level 1 Trained and engage in the Level 1 Consultation requirements, you are eligible to join the Provider Directory where you can showcase your skills and specialties. We spend a lot of time educating the general public about Trauma Model Therapy and how it can benefit them, so they are looking for TMT Clinicians. Our long-term aim is to bring TMT therapists together by geographic location for real, meaningful connection.

Will there be opportunities for connection? 

We are already making friends and building bridges...all over the world! We are better clinicians when we connect with one another, lean into one another for advice, and get ideas from one another. The virtual TMT Consultation groups are already awesome! Our goal within the next 1-2 years is to have TMT Retreats where you can join other TMT Clinicians, do practicals and earn CEs in person. Those retreats will only be available to people who have engaged in the foundational, virtual training.

Why are there 3 levels?

Dr. Ross’s theory is packed with so many details. We decided to make the 3 levels on-demand so that people can take the time to really digest all of the material. The training is setup so that each lesson is 15-60 minutes with short quizzes after each lesson and role plays throughout. There is so much to teach you. We start with competency basics, then we get into skills and interventions, and then we end with highly specialized skills for complex trauma and Dissociative Disorders.

Why is TMT training virtual?

Dr. Ross’s original certification process was a correspondence course. We decided to create a virtual, on-demand training because we wanted to standardize the teaching process so we can ensure that every Trauma Model Therapy (TMT) clinician is taught the same things in the same way. At TMT, we think standardized training contributes to clinical consistency, and clinical consistency contributes to long-term legitimacy and improved outcomes.

IT'S MORE THAN CONSULTATION.
IT'S SPECIALIZED, PROFESSIONAL MENTORSHIP.

We are here to help you find the right kind of help. It is our mission to get you connected to a Trauma Model Therapy Clinician that can provide you with impactful & attuned care in your language and in your geographical location.
