Certification Programs
Therapist Certification
Ready to take your clinical skills to the next level? Our certification programs give you individualized, high-level supervision as you apply either the Unified Protocol or Compass in real-world treatment. Through weekly video consultations with Dr. Shannon Sauer-Zavala, you’ll get personalized feedback, strategies, and support that accelerate your growth as a clinician.
You can join as an individual or with a small group of colleagues—either way, you’ll receive direct guidance from the developer herself. Upon successful completion, you’ll be recognized as a certified provider, equipped to deliver the UP or Compass with confidence, and featured on our website so clients and colleagues know you’re the real deal.

Trainer Certification
We also offer stringent training for the Unified Protocol or Compass, qualifying successful completers to train others. This program requires the audio-recording of a course of treatment with the UP or Compass (typically 16-18 sessions) that will be reviewed for adherence and competence in protocol delivery by Dr. Sauer-Zavala on a weekly basis throughout the course of treatment. Additionally, after reviewing session tapes, she will provide consultation between sessions to offer feedback on past sessions and guidance on upcoming sessions. Following successful completion of this program, therapists will be able to train others within their institutions to use the UP or Compass in their clinical practice. This program is ideal for clinical supervisors and research groups wishing to establish therapist fidelity when using the UP or Compass in research trials.
