BECOME A STAIR METHOD CERTIFIED THERAPIST

The Academy of Therapy Wisdom is pleased to partner with Juliane Taylor Shore in offering an online training path in her Self-Trust and Integrated Resilience (STAIR) Method. Fully trained practitioners are eligible to continue to work with Jules directly to become certified.

STAIR Method practitioners are well-prepared to embody neurobiologically informed, integrated experiential practice. By integrating this framework, you will learn to navigate the complex landscape of trauma treatment with precision, supporting your clients’ natural resilience and brain healing states.

You can sign up for Level 1 below to begin your journey.

Watch this message from Jules that describes the STAIR training journey:

Overview of Requirements for STAIR Method Certification:

Completion of STAIR Method Level 1:

Working Experientially with Clients

In this foundational training, you will add experiential thinking and interventions to your toolkit, learn to assist clients in finding brain healing states, and explore how your relationship with power affects your work. This level includes an integration support class to deepen your deliberate practice.

Completion of STAIR Method Level 2

Empowering Clients to Change Their Experience Through Memory Reconsolidation

Level 2 adds depth to your work with implicit memory systems. You will learn to use experiential work to access different brain regions, support memory reconsolidation experiences, and help clients address difficult attachment learnings.

Completion of STAIR Method Level 3:

Advanced Applications

In the final level, you will work with facing context, hard realities, and grief. You will learn to creatively collaborate with clients to create practices that support brain change and incorporate boundary work. This level must be taken live, and includes 16 hours of deliberate practice in small groups.

Post-Training Deliberate Practice & Consultation

48 Hours of additional Deliberate Practice Groups (completed in two 24-hour phases).
Participation in a Sept-June Demo Group with Jules (you can participate in this at any point in your training/certification process)
10 Hours of consultation, including sharing audio/visual tape with another clinician and a consultation-approved person.

Once certified, therapists commit to 15 hours of deliberate practice per year, ensuring their skills remain sharp and embodied.

Hear what others are saying about STAIR training:

“STAIR is an organizing system for your careworker toolbox.”

“Learning from Jules…has transformed my work. I am a far more effective coach and a far better human in general because of my work with her. What I love best about STAIR is that it works with so many modalities and perspectives.”

– Libby Sinback, relationship coach, podcast host of Making Polyamory Work, Atlanta, GA

“A transformation from the inside out.”

“Jules has brilliantly crafted a way to work with the best pieces of multiple models and deliver therapy with intention, precision and art. This is what I was longing for and I can’t imagine turning away from this way of seeing things. This is not a new skills set, this is a transformation from the inside out.”

– Kat Elrod, LPC

“…the essence of emancipatory practice with marginalized people.”

“As a Black Practitioner from the Global South, I have been blessed by this model. I can sit with the principles of this work in truly liberatory practice, as this work does not seek to wed clients to any outcome or modality. It accommodates their self-trust, which is the essence of emancipatory practice with marginalized people.”

-A.R.

Note

The STAIR Method Certification is based on demonstrated competency. The process involves supporting clinicians in their own “you-turns,” continued growth, and mastery of principle-based clinical craft. Evaluation is highly collaborative, designed to support you in becoming the therapist you want to be.
