TICTI offers the world’s only training — open to any qualified therapist — in a research-supported model of intensive trauma-focused therapy. Our gold-standard certification in Intensive Trauma-Focused Therapy represents extensive training and experience in the model. As third-party payors start covering intensives, we anticipate that this certification may be required.
The first step is to complete training in either EMDR or PC (including all required consultation, quizzes, etc.). The next step is to practice the EMDR/PC with your clients. Then you’re ready to participate in the week-long Intensive Trauma-Focused Therapy training.
This two-day course teaches advanced methods that are sometimes needed in intensives, including motivational interviewing, attachment work, parts work, and other techniques.
The required two half-days of post-training EMDR or PC group consultation can be completed with any TICTI-accredited EMDR/PC Consultant. The consultation must be done in a group format (minimum 4 participants, max 8), either in person (face to face) or by video-conference; and it must include review of participants’ actual work, e.g., session videos. The consultation will focus on TICTI’s trauma-informed treatment approach, including EMDR/PC.
Three hours of individual consultation are required, provided by a TICTI-accredited Intensive Consultant, in real time while you are providing one or more intensives.
The endorsement for Intensive Certification by a TICTI-accredited Intensive Consultant will be based on case discussion as well as review of your actual work (live or video) in the trauma-focused intensive treatment approach. Consultants will provide detailed feedback to help you improve as needed. Consultants charge for their time, so get as far as you can in improving your skills via Group Consultation before trying for the Endorsement.
Disclaimer: TICTI makes no express or implied warranty as to the fitness or competence of any Intensive Certification holder. The credential is intended to represent completion of the activities likely to lead to mastery of intensive trauma-focused therapy.
(Not included: the initial trainings in EMDR/PC and Intensive Trauma-Focused Therapy; any additional consultation that may be required to earn the Consultant’s endorsement of your application for Certification; the application fee.)
