What is the value of consultation with an approved Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) trainer or consultant?

Consultation with an approved Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) trainer or consultant is designed to improve therapists’ understanding of and competence in TF-CBT, is important for promoting model fidelity (which helps ensure the best outcomes for the children and parents that are served), and helps therapists to learn creative strategies to implement the TF-CBT components. It is a required part of the TF-CBT therapist certification process.

Many organizations choose to continue biweekly or monthly consultation with an approved TF-CBT trainer or consultant even after therapists become certified and report that this on-going consultation is highly beneficial to their TF-CBT team.
