Developmental Trauma Training Institute

The Developmental Trauma Training Institute (DTTI) was co-founded by Steve Sawyer, LCSW and Keri Sawyer in 2023. At DTTI, we envision a world where individuals of all ages receive compassionate, effective treatment and support, enabling them to overcome Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and thrive. Developmental Trauma primarily results in substantial dysregulation or instability in the nervous system, significantly hindering the individual’s quality of relationships, life, and health. Recognizing this, DTTI focuses on teaching and applying techniques that heal the underlying nervous system-based struggles at their core, through a comprehensive approach that combines both physiological and systemic methods. We offer a range of valuable resources, including workshops, consultations, and educational programs. Our collaborative efforts extend to working closely with community-based organizations, partnering with Native tribes, supporting mental health treatment centers, and empowering mental health professionals.
