This is a one-year certificate program-granting program specializing in the assessment and treatment of Traumatic Stress and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The training includes didactic components that emphasize the developmental, neurological, and psychological aspects of trauma, integrated from a psychodynamic orientation that offers an evidence-based foundation for the application of clinical treatment. In addition to its primary mandate of training, candidates in the program will provide treatment services to underserved populations that have demonstrated a strong need, including (but not limited to) veterans, immigrants, children in foster care, or the formerly incarcerated.
