Dr. Colin A. Ross, MD
Psychiatrist
Texas Medical Doctor #J0652
Creator of Trauma Model Therapy
I'm Dr. Ross, the founder of the Colin A. Ross Institute for Psychological Trauma. Through consultation, I share insights distilled from my 38 books and 290 professional papers to help clinicians and organizations address the challenge of comorbidity through a specialized, trauma-informed lens.
Who This Consultation Is For
I provide high-level consultation for professionals and organizations navigating the most complex landscapes of psychiatry and psychotherapy. This is ideal for:
Clinical Program Directors: Organizations looking to build or refine treatment programs based on the Trauma Model of psychopathology to improve outcomes for high-acuity populations.
Medical and Psychiatric Teams: Hospital or residential staff seeking to understand the solution to the problem of comorbidity—viewing multiple diagnoses as various expressions of an underlying trauma-based disorder.
Creative and Media Professionals: Producers or writers (similar to my work with United States of Tara) seeking expert psychiatric consultation on the accurate and ethical portrayal of trauma and dissociation.
What I Can Offer
My consultation services draw upon decades of research, clinical practice, and leadership within the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISST-D):
TMT Program Implementation: Guidance on structuring entire clinical programs around the principles of Trauma Model Therapy, ensuring that trauma is addressed as the core etiologic factor.
Training in Comorbidity Solutions: Teaching your team how to unify disparate diagnoses—such as substance abuse, eating disorders, and self-harm—under the TMT framework.
Global Educational Perspectives: Imparting complex psychiatric information to diverse audiences, drawing from my experience lecturing across North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania.
Benefits of Consultation with Me
Access to Decades of Research: You receive direct insight from the primary source of the Trauma Model, backed by nearly 300 peer-reviewed publications and decades of psychiatric data.
Ethical and Humanistic Grounding: My work is informed by a deep respect for human rights and an understanding of the history of psychiatry, ensuring that your practice remains both scientifically rigorous and deeply humane.
Multi-Disciplinary Insight: Benefit from a consultant who explores complicated topics not just through psychiatry, but through the lenses of history, genetics, and even the creative arts.
