Training Participants and Certified ITATM Practitioners & Therapists
As a leading edge treatment centre for healing trauma and attachment wounds we regularly receive request to recommend therapists providing services in other areas / communities. We typically do not recommend someone unless we are familiar with their work and understanding of trauma. As a result, we have created a directory of members who have completed training in the Integrative Trauma and Attachment Treatment Model (ITATM) ®. A summary of each of these streams is included below.
***Please note that the requirements for each stream are quite different and as such should not be considered equivalent. Although we have trained many people only those who have opted to register are listed.
Integrative Trauma and Attachment Treatment Model (ITATM)® Certified Therapist
ITATM Certified Therapists are professionals who generally hold a graduate degree or higher in Social Work or Psychology that have completed our comprehensive clinical training program. This certification program focuses on building skills that allow the therapist to provide trauma and attachment specific services. Participants are extensively trained in our Integrative Trauma and Attachment Treatment Model Adapted (ITATM-A) ® and have had the opportunity to review cases and receive feedback to deepen their awareness of the model. Our treatment approach is integrative and based upon leading edge and best practice treatments following trauma and / or attachment ruptures. Participants are required to complete the core 5-day training, inclusive of observing live demonstrations of the model and practicing as the therapist and the client. To further reinforce and deepen their application of the Integrative Trauma and Attachment Treatment Model Adapted (ITATM-A) ® they have completed monthly or accelerated consultations, after which they completed Part 3 of the training. This certification is meant to be a process that allows the therapist to continue to build upon their knowledge and skills in these areas. Participants listed in this section have successfully completed the requirements for certification which includes completing the training requirements part 1, 2 & 3 and six consultations.
