ABOUT US
The Telehealth Certification Institute (TCI), founded in 2014 by Raymond Barrett, delivers comprehensive telehealth training and consultation services to a global network of healthcare organizations and professionals. At TCI, clinicians can find the space to develop meaningful relationships with behavioral health colleagues. Our company motto – Learn-Connect-Refresh – emphasizes this deep spirit of collaboration.
We pride ourselves on equipping healthcare clinicians, educators, and medical practitioners with the competencies to best serve their communities. Training programs at TCI focus on the ethical, legal, technological, and clinical frameworks for providing telehealth sessions effectively.
To achieve this, we’ve developed over 180 courses in our online CE marketplace (including our popular TeleMental Health Training Certificate program) and certificate tracks for various specialists. We also frequently provide ongoing continuing education opportunities at no cost to those looking to build their telehealth knowledge base.
We envision a world where every client can access a well-trained telehealth professional when they need one, and we invite you to learn more about us as you consider joining our network of 40,000 clinicians who are TCI-trained.

Opiate Use Disorder in our Systems and Community
I have been a substance use counselor for nearly 17 years.
