What is TF-CBT?

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT)Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) was developed by Drs. Anthony Mannarino, Judith Cohen and Esther Deblinger. It is an evidence-based treatment to help children and adolescents recover after trauma. Many studies have been conducted all over the world and have found that TF-CBT was a superior treatment for improving children’s trauma symptoms.

Certification in TF-CBT

In order to ensure you are providing your child clients with the best care, the creators of TF-CBT believe that clinicians need to have ongoing follow-up supervision and consultation with experts in TF-CBT. Consultation calls, required for certification in TF-CBT,  are conducted after the completion of the online course and the in-person and/or online training course. These calls will allow clinicians to consult with the trainer while they have active, ongoing TF-CBT cases. The consultation groups also allow participants to learn from each other, develop creative strategies for implementing the TF-CBT components, and increase the likelihood that clinicians will implement the model with fidelity. These trainings, followed by the consultation calls, boost clinician's confidence in practicing TF-CBT. We know from experience that when we feel more confident, we are more likely to use the model with fidelity, which is what the research shows leads to the best outcomes!

What Makes This Training Unique?

• This TF-CBT training will be interactive in ways that participants find helpful to reinforce learning.
• Dr. Rosenzweig has been practicing TF-CBT since 2012 when she completed her first case. She will share numerous clinical examples for each treatment component that allows participants to learn from real cases.
• Dr. Rosenzweig has extensive experience teaching and training in college, doctoral programs, and clinical agency continuing education courses. Her evaluations are always positive, with trainees and students providing feedback such as:
• What did you most enjoy about the training?
  • The case examples, hearing Kim's experiences with kids. The assessment and books.
  • Learning interventions to use & ways to frame questions.
  • Great activities to utilize for trauma treatment.
• What aspects of the [doctoral] course did you find most helpful in enabling you to meet the course objectives?
  • I find it helpful when professors integrate their own professional and personal experiences into class to give examples of concepts or dilemmas that can come up in practice. Kim did a great job at this as well as making the importance of the subject matter clear.
  • Dr. Rosenzweig's knowledge and clinical experience is invaluable. Class readings and videos, as well as class lectures and discussions were greatly beneficial to learning the course content. I got the impression Dr. Rosenzweig truly cared about the subject matter and the clinical development of her students
