Interns or new grads/junior clinicians (as in 5 yrs and under of practice) are mentored within JCT Collaborative Mental Health Practice with a trauma-informed lens. It is imperative that distinctions between Trauma-informed practice, Trauma therapist and Life Coach be clearly understood when seeking psychotherapy services. Interns or new grads/junior clinicians (as in 5 yrs and under of practice) graduate with a generalist degree.
For the first full 5 years of practice, generalists can obtain continuing education and continue to gather direct client contact experience under a qualified clinical supervision while working in the field of Psychotherapy, this includes towards working with trauma and complex trauma work. Knowledge, experience and competency skills must be demonstrated by a JCT Clinician to brand themselves as a Trauma Therapist. Trauma-informed practice and trauma therapist are not one in the same nor is a coach who practices or teaches about trauma modalities to practice or brand themselves as any kind of "trauma specialist". To do so is them operating beyond their scope of practice. New grads/junior clinicians are generalists. But we mentor with a trauma informed lens and so their clients have this benefit when they work with our interns. Those of us that supervise (as of right now) are practicing within the lens as Somatic Experiencing Practitioners.
