Who is eligible for our Program?

To be eligible for our program, you will need to have a master’s degree in social work, mental health counseling or another related mental health field. In addition, we prefer applicants to have experience working with traumatized individuals. If you are not fully licensed, you can accrue hours towards your license.

Admission Requirements

• Master’s degree in a licensable mental health field; and, if not licensed, eligible for a limited permit
• Graduate degree in either psychology, social work, mental health counseling, marriage and family therapists, medicine, psychiatric nursing or other mental health professionals

Readiness for Training

The applicant’s previous training and experience will be assessed as part of the admissions process. Because trauma work is demanding and involves many new concepts, basic therapeutic skills should already be in place. Applicants should have some familiarity with psychodynamic concepts such as transference and countertransference.
