So many clients come to us with stories of childhood abuse and neglect.

In the chaos of identity fragmentation, disrupted relationships, and emotional dysregulation we find ourselves trying to support an adult who, in many moments, feels like a hurting child with no roadmap for repair.

But treating developmental trauma doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or impossible.

This certification training shows you how.

You’ll watch highly rated trainer, Karee Powers, LCSW. In over 2 decades of clinical work with these clients, not only has she walked alongside countless trauma survivors and learned what calms the body, what rebuilds trust, and what fosters long term integration…

… she’s taught thousands of therapists how to elevate their own trauma work using proven, evidence-based interventions.

With a step-by-step clinical blueprint full of somatic, experiential, parts work and trauma-informed mindfulness tools you’ll leave ready to bring clients’ bodies back into regulation, work with their protective parts, and provide corrective therapeutic experiences that lead to real relational healing.

PLUS this training meets the requirements to become a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) through Evergreen Certifications …

… giving you credentials that can advance your clinical practice and let clients know you’re ready to help.

Working with developmental trauma and the wounds of childhood is something every trauma therapist needs extended training on.

So don’t wait.
