Trauma and PTSD Care

Care for people carrying something that happened. This includes EMDR providers, therapists trained in trauma focused CBT, services for survivors of abuse, and programs built for veterans and first responders. Trauma work is one of the few areas where a clinician's specific training matters more than the format, so these entries record what each service says about its therapists' credentials rather than repeating the word trauma back at you. They also note whether a service is set up for complex trauma or says plainly that it refers those cases on.
