Bringing Trauma Model Therapy to You
The Colin A. Ross Institute 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 Therapy Certification for over two decades. Many people have been trained in Trauma Model Therapy (TMT) or heard about the model at professional conferences. We are just modernizing his training system so that more clinicians can engage with certification. You can get trained in all levels at once, or start with Level 1 to see if the modality is for you. The Ross Institute is now offering 3 certifications levels and a path to become a TMT consultant so that you can train and supervise others.
Get Trained in Trauma Model Therapy
Level 1
Level 1 training is focused on introducing you to the model, helping you learn how to conceptualize TMT, how to diagnose properly, and how to become competent in detecting and working with dissociation. You will have a chance to watch a long role play with Dr. Ross during this training.
Level 2
Level 2 training will focus on specific strategies you as a therapist need to know and employ in order to do the most effective work with clients. In Level 2, we will briefly introduce you to activities you can do with clients. You will also be able to watch more advanced role plays with Dr. Ross on the topics of self-mutilation, eating disorders and domestic violence.
Level 3
In the Level 3 training, we go into great detail about tangible activities you can do with clients. We also give you our personal input regarding how to weave TMT into other well-known modalities like Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
