An effective, efficient, well tolerated trauma treatment
30 CEs, 12 EMDRIA CEs
Progressive Counting (PC) is a fairly new research-supported trauma treatment that is effective, efficient, well-tolerated by clients, and relatively easy to master. This is a hands-on clinical skills training for using Progressive Counting with clients of all ages who have been exposed to significant trauma or loss. This in-depth training will cover trauma theory, impact of trauma and loss, identification and assessment of traumatized clients, and directly helping clients to manage their symptoms, resolve their trauma/loss memories, and prepare to cope effectively with future challenges.
Participants will be able to:
The training program involves lecture, demonstration, and in-class practice. This is an experiential training, and part of the learning is to practice the interventions with other participants. Although participants are always in charge of what they disclose, many individuals have reported that their participation led to facing personal issues. Participants should be mental health professionals (or grad students/interns) with an active psychotherapy caseload. Full documentation can be found here.
Continuing education: Review the information regarding continuing education here. It is important to check with your state board to verify your requirements. Continuing education hours are not available for consultation time, reading requirements, or prerequisites.
This training will qualify as the first step towards Certification in Progressive Counting.
All of the programs listed below provide the standard PC training, and you can attend any with the confidence that you’re receiving the PC training. However, there is slight variation from one program to another, reflecting how the trauma-informed therapy approach, featuring PC, is used with clients of different ages. For example, the Teen focus includes a goal-setting motivational interview. Most of our listed courses include an Adult + Child focus.
PC/Child Focus was previously called Child & Adolescent Trauma Treatment Intensive.
“It is the VERY BEST PROGRAM that I have attended in my 30 years of work in Mental Health at the Board of Education. The participants felt the same.”

PC/Teen Focus was previously called Treating Problem Behaviors.
“I found the material exceptionally accessible and practical. After attending the training I literally begin using the interventions in my next session. The structure and creativity of this system is transforming my already successful practice treating juvenile sex offenders.”
