Resources for Finding a Trauma-Informed Therapist*
*Please note that we have made a concerted effort to compile a list of search engines to help survivors of trauma located therapists if they wish to receive therapy; however, the below list of resources does not verify all therapists’ specialties, therefore it is strongly recommended that individuals interested in seeking services from a trauma-informed or trauma-certified therapist verify this directly with the provider. Additionally, the below list is not an exhaustive list of all possible clinical modalities for addressing trauma. Furthermore, please note that there are strengths and limitations to any treatment modality, and treatment plans should be determined on an individual basis with the consultation of an appropriate treatment provider.

NARM
The NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) is an advanced clinical training for mental health professionals who work with complex trauma. NARM is a cutting-edge model for addressing attachment, relational and developmental trauma, by working with the attachment patterns that cause life-long psychobiological symptoms and interpersonal difficulties. These early, unconscious patterns of disconnection deeply affect our identity, emotions, physiology, behavior, and relationships. Learning how to work simultaneously with these diverse elements is a radical shift that has profound clinical implications for healing complex trauma. As such, NARM is positioned to become an invaluable treatment option for the Trauma-Informed Care movement as we gain greater understanding of the nature of adverse childhood experience (ACEs).

Somatic Experiencing
Trauma impacts physical health, mental health, learning, education, and multiple aspects of an individual’s life. Trauma is a fact of life; however, it does not have to be a life sentence. There is hope. Somatic Experiencing (SE™) is a potent method for resolving trauma symptoms and relieving chronic stress. It is the life’s work of Dr. Peter A. Levine, resulting from his multidisciplinary study of stress physiology, psychology, ethology, biology, neuroscience, indigenous healing practices, and medical biophysics, together with over 45 years of successful clinical application. The SE approach releases traumatic shock, which is key to transforming PTSD and other emotional or early developmental trauma-inducing wounds.
