A vetted global directory that recognises your training, so the right clients and referrals can find you.
You know the feeling. A client who needs more than you can offer right now, and no one safe to refer them to. Or watching "trauma-informed" become so diluted it tells you almost nothing about who's actually trained to do this work.
Or the quieter thing — the slow weight of seeing clients who aren't quite the right fit. The kind of mismatch nobody talks about until it's already costing you something.
The Trauma Directory was built around those frustrations. It exists so that trauma-trained clinicians can be found by people who genuinely need them — and so we all have a cleaner, more honest way to say what we actually do.
For multimodal therapists. Online, in-person, or hybrid.
Searchable by specialism, modality, and location. Clients contact you directly.
Human-reviewed. Your verified tier badge is on your profile.
Your fees, your clients, your practice. No commission, no referral cut.
Here is exactly what to expect from application to going live. No payment is required until Step 2.
Apply at traumadirectory.org/apply. It takes around 10 minutes. The information you provide is used solely for our internal review and is not shared publicly. No payment is required at this stage. We review your application within 48 working hours.
Once your application is approved, we send a separate link where you can create your login, pay the listing fee via Stripe, and complete your public-facing profile. We do a final review — usually within 24 hours — before your profile goes live.
Every clinician is vetted and placed at the highest tier they consistently meet across all four domains — training, experience, complexity, and supervision. Not just training alone.
Strong foundations and safety-led work. Stabilisation and practical tools.
Deeper training and at least one depth modality. Suited for CPTSD-type work.
Primary focus on complex trauma and dissociation with multi-modal depth practice.
Placement is at the highest tier you consistently meet across all four domains. Read the full vetting guide →
The full vetting criteria are at traumadirectory.org/vetting-guide. For therapists working with DID, OSDD, and complex dissociative presentations, undertrained.org offers specialist clinician training, group supervision, and clinical frameworks built around what actually works in the room with this client group. Training completed through Undertrained is recognised in our vetting process.

Submit your credentials for internal review — it takes around 10 minutes and your information is never shown publicly. Once approved (usually within 48 working hours), you'll receive a separate link to create your login, pay the one-off listing fee via Stripe, and complete your public profile. Allow up to 24 hours after submission for your profile to go live.
Yes. You choose. You can specify online, in-person, or hybrid on your profile. There are no restrictions on service delivery format.
You charge your clients directly, in whatever way you normally would. The directory has no involvement in your billing, invoicing, or client payments. Clients contact you through your profile and everything from there is between you and them.
Yes, entirely. Your rates are yours to set and change at any time. The directory does not cap, recommend, or take any percentage of what you charge.
The listing fee is USD $75, paid as a one-off via Stripe at the profile creation stage (Step 2). No subscription, no monthly fee, no commission on referrals or sessions. We are currently running an early bird promotion — the first 100 clinicians to join list for USD $20. Spots are limited and won't last.
Licensing requirements vary widely by country, so we do not require a licence as a universal condition. What we do require is active standing with a recognised professional body or regulatory authority, appropriate qualifications for the work you are doing, and evidence of clinical supervision. If you are unsure whether your credentials meet the threshold, apply and we will review it with you.
Tier placement is based on four domains: training, clinical experience, ability to work with complexity, and supervision. You indicate your experience during the application and we review it against our criteria. You can self-assess using the Therapist Vetting Guide.
The full vetting guide is at traumadirectory.org/vetting-guide. For specialist training in DID, OSDD, and complex dissociative presentations, undertrained.org offers clinician-facing courses, group supervision, and clinical frameworks. Training through Undertrained is recognised in our vetting process.
Your listing does not expire, but profiles are re-verified every 24 months. We contact you when due — there is no additional fee for re-verification. Your profile will show a "Verified as of [year]" badge. Any significant change in credentials or supervision status may prompt an earlier check.
All members are expected to maintain ethical practice, comply with local regulations, and engage in regular supervision. We recommend at least 12 hours of trauma-specific CPD within each 24-month cycle.
