Course Description

Trauma is one of the most pressing challenges in mental health today. Clients are not only struggling with PTSD but also with complex layers of developmental, relational, and chronic trauma that demand advanced, integrative care. To meet this need—and to stand out as a recognized trauma specialist—you need more than theory. You need certification that proves your expertise.

This certification program is a 6-day, 36 CE credit intensive that equips you to earn two credentials in one training: Clinical Trauma Professional (Level 1) and Complex Trauma Professional (Level 2). Led by trauma specialist Stacy Ruse, LPC, this program blends neuroscience, somatic psychology, IFS, EMDR-informed care, and Polyvagal Theory into a comprehensive framework. You’ll learn how to conduct accurate trauma assessments, navigate comorbidities, and implement phased, evidence-based interventions that work in the real world.

By completing this program, you won’t just gain powerful tools—you’ll graduate with dual trauma certifications that elevate your credibility, expand your professional opportunities, and signal to clients, colleagues, and employers that you’re trained at the highest level. This credential gives you the confidence and recognition to specialize in trauma care, grow your practice, and create lasting healing for the clients who need it most.

Objectives

Identify DSM-5® criteria for PTSD, C-PTSD, and related disorders.

Differentiate single-incident, developmental, and attachment trauma.

Apply validated trauma assessments in clinical practice.

Recognize nervous system dysregulation in clients.

Use somatic and polyvagal tools to regulate arousal.

Apply IFS and EMDR-informed strategies for trauma work.

Integrate top-down and bottom-up treatment approaches.

Address cultural, ethical, and spiritual factors in care.

Foster resilience and post-traumatic growth in clients.
