Bessel Van der Kolk , Janina Fisher & Robert Rhoton – Certified Family Trauma Professional (CFTP) Online Training

Early in my career, I received a referral for a client who set a school on fire. He was 10 and had been on probation since the age of 7.

He had worked one-on-one with many talented and bright therapists, yet none had successfully improved his behavior.

Many doubted this child could overcome his behaviors, but I saw hope. In 2006, I attended his college graduation, and in 2009, I watched him graduate from law school. They were some of the proudest moments in my career.

But how did I succeed where so many others failed?

The answer is simple: I boldly stepped away from traditional mental health strategies of working one-on-one with a child struggling with the toxic stress of trauma, and instead, I treated his entire family as one unit in every session.

And I’ve seen the same positive outcomes with hundreds of clients over my 17-year career as a Certified Family Trauma Professional. Now you can learn my tools and strategies to help dramatically improve your client outcomes with my intensive Certified Family Trauma Professional (CFTP) Online Training.

Through 12 hours of video, you’ll learn to apply this cutting edge, research-based approach and explore:
