The Psychotherapy Institute (PI) offers a different approach to help therapists better serve our patients and community. The PI integrates high-quality training, implementation support, and organizational transformation to empower providers and improve patient outcomes—ensuring that effective care truly makes a difference. 

Just as medical fellowships provide physicians with deep, specialized training to advance their expertise, the Psychotherapy Institute creates a parallel pathway for mental health professionals. This is a rare opportunity for clinicians to pause, refine, and elevate their craft in a structured, high-support learning environment. Through immersive training, expert-guided practice, and sustained mentorship, clinicians build true mastery—gaining the skills, confidence, and precision needed to consistently deliver transformative care.  

The Psychotherapy Institute is more than continuing education. It is an investment in clinicians as highly skilled practitioners whose work shapes the health of individuals, families, and communities.

Level II: Psychotherapy Institute Intermountain Health Unified Protocol (IH-UP) and Unified Protocol-Adolescent (UP-A) Certifications

Though workshops offer a critical first step for sustained application, they are often not sufficient for effective practice in a model. To better support clinicians in developing confidence and mastery in an intervention, The level II Psychotherapy Institute Certification offers collaborative high-quality training and consultation to providers. Following completion of consultive training, providers enrolled in Level II Certification will participate in supportive community of practice groups where fidelity recording, monitoring, and measurement-based care will be key tools that help us ensure our care practices are consistently aligned with the Unified Protocol model—so we can deliver the best possible outcomes for our patients. This process is part of a collective effort to identify what's working by learning together. This opportunity offers shared opportunities to reflect on practice, celebrate strengths, and make meaningful, data-informed adjustments while fostering a culture of growth. Consultative training provided every other week by experts in the Unified Protocol and Unified Protocol Adolescent (UP-A). Includes consultive training and six months of participation in a robust Community of Practice, featuring: 

• Access to expert consultants from Intermountain Health Clinical Program, the Unified Protocol Institute, and Weber Human Services
• AI-enabled support for clinical practice
• Ongoing coaching plus fidelity monitoring designed to maximize clinical outcomes
• Completion of Level I required
• Up to 28 hours of expert-led education & coaching

Level III: Psychotherapy Institute’s Unified Protocol and Unified Protocol-Adolescent Master Certification 

Select providers may receive additional training to train others to deliver Unified Protocol to patients. Layering training for mastery with strategies for implementation, these providers will go on to train others in the model and lead out on communities of practice guiding level II participants. Supports provided to these psychotherapists include organizational change management strategy consultation, psychotherapist training and coaching in EBTs, data use consultation, leadership consultation, and performance evaluation consultation. These selected providers may be offered future opportunities to partner with the institute and continue to develop as coaches and implementation experts. If not initially selected for level III certification, level II providers are encouraged to work towards expert level mastery, and evaluation for level III certification shall be considered with subsequent cohorts.  

A 16-week advanced consultative training led by expert-level Unified Protocol clinicians. Designed to support your pathway to mastery, including:
