About Network for Ethical Treatment
What we do
Network for Ethical Treatment (NET) is an emerging nonprofit dedicated to building a collaborative network of mental health providers that uphold high standards in ethical mental health care. NET's focus is on delivering intensive EMDR treatment through a comprehensive approach known as Client Centered Intensive Treatment (CCIT). This scalable, adaptable system is designed to enhance access to high-quality trauma treatment across various populations.
Rooted in the belief that individuals will engage in effective mental health treatment when provided with clear information and resources, peer support, full confidentiality, financial accessibility, and culturally and clinically competent providers, NET is committed to fostering a supportive environment.
To learn more about our innovative Client Centered Intensive Treatment model, please visit our CCIT webpage. We are happy to answer any questions you may have.
NET's initial priority centers on a trauma-focused treatment initiative for first responders, public safety professionals, and frontline workers in the crisis response community, known as Frontline Intensive Trauma Treatment (FITT). FITT aims to deliver EMDR intensives facilitated by vetted, culturally competent clinicians on a nationwide scale.
NET Clinician Collective
NET is building a national network of clinicians who commit to NET’s standards of clinical training, ongoing professional development, and the Client Centered Intensive Treatment model of care. NET-affiliated clinicians will receive mentorship and guidance to access vetted professional development resources. NET advocates for sustainable business practices that support trauma therapists, promoting ethical mental health care and protecting their health from burnout while ensuring financial security.
There is no cost, at any time, to affiliate with NET.

We are eager to connect with any clinician, whether EMDR trained or not, who aligns with an ethic of complex trauma competency; we'd like to keep you informed as our operations evolve and our network expands. Our current focus is on recruiting complex trauma competent EMDR intensive therapists, especially those specializing in trauma treatment for first responders and frontline professionals.
Programs and Services
NET's immediate focus is to establish trauma treatment programs specifically designed for special populations, provide public health education, and support clinician professional development as we cultivate a national network of clinicians dedicated to delivering ethical mental health care.
The first initiative of NET is the Frontline Intensive Trauma Treatment (FITT), which aligns with our commitment to the Client Centered Intensive Treatment Model. Through this program, NET aims to provide valuable educational resources not only for our stakeholders and clinicians but also for the general public.
