Completion of Constructed Awareness® Levels One and Two is required before enrolling in the Certification Program.

These foundational trainings introduce CA's principles, awareness-based resources, orientation styles, and approaches to traumatic memory processing.

If you have not yet completed these trainings, we invite you to explore the CA training pathway before beginning certification.

Consultation is a central part of the certification experience, offering opportunities for clinical exploration, personal reflection, experiential practice, and continued integration of Constructed Awareness®.

Participants complete 12 hours of small-group consultation with Tyler Orr and one other clinician pursuing certification.

Consultation Partners

Many clinicians begin certification alongside a colleague they've connected with during previous CA training. Participants are welcome to enroll with a partner already in mind, or the Institute can assist with connecting clinicians who are seeking a partner.

Once a consultation partnership is established, we'll work with Tyler and both consultees to coordinate a shared schedule that accommodates everyone's availability.

Please allow additional time for partner matching and scheduling when needed, as this process may take a month or longer.

The Value of Shared Consultation

The small-group format allows clinicians to learn through both their own experiences and those of their consultation partner.

Participants have opportunities to explore clinical questions, practice CA approaches, receive guidance and feedback from Tyler, and observe how another clinician integrates the model into therapeutic work.

Sharing consultation time also makes ongoing professional consultation more financially accessible than purchasing the same number of individual consultation hours.

Consultation Schedule and Format

Tyler recommends meeting for one hour every other week, typically resulting in 12 sessions over approximately six months.

Sessions take place live through Zoom and include clinical case consultation, instruction, personal reflection, experiential practice, and feedback.

The regular meeting rhythm allows time between sessions for continued clinical application, reflection, and integration. It also makes coordinating three professional schedules more manageable, particularly across different time zones.

All 12 consultation hours are included in the Certification Program fee. There are no additional consultation charges.

Participants are also welcome to remain connected through our private online CA Clinician Community, introduced during Level One training.

Returning to Level One with greater experience offers an opportunity to revisit the foundations of Constructed Awareness® with fresh awareness and understanding.

As part of certification, participants audit an additional Level One training, revisiting the three principles, orientation styles, and awareness-based resources.

During practicum sessions, certification participants observe practice groups and offer feedback to clinicians beginning their CA training experience.

This opportunity to support newer learners can deepen participants' own understanding while strengthening their confidence in recognizing and applying CA principles.

Auditing Level Two provides an opportunity to revisit traumatic memory reconstruction, attachment-oriented processing, and the clinical applications of Constructed Awareness®.

With the experience gained through continued practice and consultation, participants may notice new dimensions of the material and develop a deeper understanding of how CA can be integrated into their therapeutic work.

During practicum sessions, certification participants observe practice groups and offer feedback, supporting newer trainees while continuing to refine their own clinical awareness and skills.

As the final requirement of the Certification Program, participants are invited to contribute to the continued exploration, development, or sharing of Constructed Awareness® through a CA-related project.

Projects can take different forms depending on each clinician's interests, experience, and professional strengths.

Examples of CA projects include:

• Participating in CA-related research.

• Writing a blog article exploring CA concepts or clinical applications.

• Hosting a CA consultation group.

• Helping organize or host a CA training event.

Other project ideas are welcome for discussion, provided they contribute to the continued development of Constructed Awareness®.

This requirement offers an opportunity to deepen personal and professional engagement with CA while making a meaningful contribution to the broader clinical community.

For participants selecting the monthly payment plan, the first $175 installment is due on the date of the first group consultation session.

The remaining five payments follow an agreed monthly schedule. Although consultation typically takes place twice per month, participants make only one $175 payment per month.

The payment schedule and consultation appointment schedule are separate.

If the initial consultation session is rescheduled before the program begins, the payment schedule moves with the new start date, and an updated schedule is provided.

Once the first consultation session has taken place, the agreed monthly payment dates remain unchanged, even if subsequent consultation appointments are rescheduled.

Participants receive both their consultation schedule and payment schedule in writing before beginning the program.

All 12 consultation hours are included in the program fee. No additional consultation charges apply.
