We Value Our Staff's Profession Development
CHTA has been a strong advocate to support our staff professional development. We have provided Level 1 and Level 2 EMDR certification trainings that allow our clinical staff to provide EMDR therapy for our clients.
Previous staff who benefitted from Level 1 and 2 are:
Andrea Shindle, April Thomas Kenney, and Cassandra Williams
Early 2020, CHTA has provided full Yoga Teacher Certification through Bodhi Boulder for Alexis Hauck. This training allows her to provide trauma informed specialized yoga for CHTA clients.
All these trainings and certifications are CHTA fully funded.
We may be a small, non profit but we value our staff's skills, desire to help, and motivation for growth and leadership.
