About Us: At The Trauma Therapist Institute, we know why you do this work.

 You want to help people recover from unimaginable experiences, lift the burdens they carry, reclaim joy, and rise above adversity. And you know trauma healing isn’t simple. Talk therapy can only go so far. Clients with complex trauma need approaches that truly work.

That’s why we offer inclusive, neuroscience-backed trainings that give you practical, effective tools for the toughest cases. From EMDRIA-Approved EMDR training to advanced trauma therapy courses, our CE-approved programs are built to deliver better client outcomes and leave you feeling more confident and capable in your work.

Our approach is rooted in our Shame Free Space for Learning© philosophy. Here, you can ask the hard questions, practice new skills, and explore what’s not working, because growth happens in safety.

And you won’t do this work alone. The TTI Community is an active, online space for collaboration, mentorship, and renewal. Together, we support each other in staying aligned with the deeper calling of trauma therapy, helping clients heal, and helping therapists sustain the work.

From Kase & CO to The Trauma Therapist Institute

The Trauma Therapist Institute™ (TTI) emerged from a deep passion for empowering therapists and transforming trauma care. It all began with Kase & CO, a dedicated training and consulting company founded by Rebecca Kase, LCSW, EMDR Trainer, and Polyvagal Theory expert. Kase & CO was built on the vision of providing trauma therapists with accessible, practical, and high-quality education that could make a real difference in clients’ lives.
