Brain/Body-Based Treatment Guides You Through
Your Healing Journey
You may be familiar with talk therapy. However, research shows that talk therapy is not very effective when treating trauma, partly because trauma is often stored in the body, which is not impacted by talking. This is why brain/body-based treatment, which usually doesn’t involve much talking, is strongly recommended for individuals who have experienced trauma. Through brain/body-based treatment, individuals who have been impacted by trauma can calm their nervous system, create new pathways in the brain, and, ultimately, clear the trauma from both their minds and their bodies.
Trauma Referral Consultants is both knowledgeable in these treatments and connected with specialist practitioners, all of who are included in our database.

What to expect
Unsure about what to expect when you engage us? Here is an outline of the process we follow to ensure that you are well-supported in finding a therapist who is right for you.
- First, we ask you to fill out an intake form to give Denni David, your Trauma Referral Consultant, some background on your situation.
- Once she has your completed form, Denni will either meet with you face-to-face or virtually (depending on where you are located).
- During this meeting, Denni will do a comprehensive intake, the purpose of which is to gather enough information to make the best possible recommendations.
- Denni will search her referral database and do everything possible to recommend someone who is geographically convenient for you.
- As there are many different ways to approach trauma therapy, Denni is committed to helping to educate you and understand your options. She will guide you through the process so you don’t feel lost or overwhelmed and can make an informed choice.
- The overall goal is to help match you to therapists who offer a suitable treatment and are geographically appropriate for you.
