Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the right trauma therapist?
Get clear on what you need: the kind of trauma you're working through, whether you want telehealth or in-person, and any approach you've heard helps, like EMDR or Brainspotting. Then search the directory by specialty, approach, location, and insurance. Every therapist is a trauma specialist, not a generalist.
What makes a trauma therapist different from a regular therapist?
A trauma therapist has specific training in how trauma affects the brain and body and uses approaches built for it. The therapists in this directory belong to The BRAVE Trauma Therapist Collective, with ongoing training and real specialization in trauma work.
What approaches do trauma therapists use?
Trauma therapists use specialized approaches like EMDR, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure, and somatic therapies. You can filter the directory by approach.
Do these therapists offer telehealth?
Many do. You can filter by telehealth or in-person, and by the states or regions a therapist is licensed in, so you only see people who can work with you where you are.
Do trauma therapists take insurance?
It varies by therapist. You can filter by whether someone accepts insurance or is private pay, and each listing links to the therapist's own website for rates and details.
Are the therapists accepting new clients?
Each listing shows whether a therapist is accepting new clients, on a waitlist, or full, so you don't reach out to someone who can't see you right now.
