Frequently Asked Questions
Each certification provides a different focus on mental and physical health.
The Mental Health Disorders certification covers the range of the most common disorders we see in practice in children and adults. It provides a foundation for your work.
The PTSD, Complex Trauma, and Traumatic Brain Injury certification deepens your ability to treat PTSD, complex trauma, and the effects of traumatic brain injury. This course will expand your skills for treating pain, addictions, insomnia, digestive issues, and a disrupted microbiome all of which are associated with trauma.

You may certainly reach out to me for a Health Consultation or Find an Integrative Medicine Practitioner among the certified graduates of my programs. The certified practitioners listed are already experienced and licensed to practice when they take my certification programs, and many have been supervised by me directly. They have all been certified by the Leslie Korn Institute of Integrative Medicine.
The Leslie Korn Institute For Integrative Medicine is neither a regulatory nor licensing organization and therefore not sanctioned to certify, license, or otherwise bestow the legal authorization to practice as a nutritionist, physician, or mental health professional.
Certification does not warrant that a program or its examination certifies a candidate’s competence. Nothing about this program or its examination is intended to replace, override, or conflict with licensing requirements for health professionals and their requirements for practice in their state of residency and practice.
