Ricky Greenwald, Psy.D.
Ricky Greenwald, Psy.D., is a Massachusetts psychologist, author, and founder of the Trauma Institute & Child Trauma Institute (TICTI), where he serves as Executive Director and Chair of Faculty. According to the organization’s website, he has worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families since 1985 and is widely known for his work in trauma treatment, EMDR, Progressive Counting (PC), and intensive trauma therapy.
In June 2018, the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Psychologists publicly disciplined Greenwald following an ethics investigation into his professional conduct in a child custody matter. The resulting Consent Agreement placed his psychology license on probation for a minimum of three years and required weekly supervision by a Board-approved psychologist, continuing education, and quarterly reporting to the Board. The Consent Agreement states that, if the matter had proceeded to a disciplinary hearing, the Board could find violations of multiple provisions of the American Psychological Association’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct.
