Crucial Need for Qualified Trauma Treatment Providers
All licensed mental health professionals need to be qualified in trauma resolution. Many co-occurring DSM disorders—including substance use, borderline personality, compulsive behaviors, anxiety, and depression—have their origin in traumatic experiences. Additionally, trauma is a contributing factor to numerous medical concerns including migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, gastro-intestinal conditions, etc. To be a trauma specialist, licensed professionals must be qualified in a methodology that assures measurable and reliable outcome-based treatment.
Gray Otis, PhD, LCMHC. Sandi Williams, LMFT, and Dan Kaufmann, PhD at the National Board for Trauma Specialists developed a groundbreaking trauma treatment approach. The Core-Focused Treatment methodology addresses the individual’s prior traumatic experiences, while promoting holistic health and reinforcing inherent strengths. Rather than getting stuck in the past, each person is effectively guided to achieve enduring trauma resolution.
Although every licensed mental health professional should be proficient as a qualified trauma treatment specialist, many do not have the crucial training or experience. Often, graduate programs do not specifically address treatment, and several post-graduate trauma training options are expensive. Yet it is crucial that licensed mental health professionals become trauma specialists, which they can accomplish through training and certified qualification. The Core-Focused Treatment training program covers each aspect of treatment, including a step-by-step approach to resolve the underlying causes of co-occurring related disorders. This approach to treatment often achieves substantiated outcomes in remarkably few sessions.
