A trauma specialist is a therapist who has advanced training in understanding, identifying, and treating the effects of trauma on the mind and body. They use evidence-based methods—like EMDR, somatic therapies, and trauma-focused CBT—to help you safely process what you’ve been through and move toward healing. Instead of focusing only on symptoms, a trauma specialist looks at the bigger picture: how past experiences shape your emotions, behaviors, relationships, and even physical health today.



Frequently Asked Questions About Trauma Specialist

All trauma specialists are therapists, but not all therapists are trauma specialists. A general therapist may help you talk through challenges and build coping strategies. A trauma specialist, on the other hand, has specific training to recognize how trauma lives in the nervous system and uses targeted, research-backed techniques to support recovery. It’s a deeper, more specialized focus—designed to help you not just "talk about it," but truly heal at the root.
