Research Training & Healing
The Trauma Reprocessing Institute
“Our Mission is to develop & research trauma reprocessing treatments; train clinicians how to deliver them; and help survivors heal from their traumas.”
“Our vision is to create a world in which trauma no longer defines identity or limits potential, and where individuals are supported to live with wholeness, purpose, and towards their desired lives.”
Our symbol is the butterfly, who transforms and flies free!
The Trauma Reprocessing Institute was created to continue the pioneering work of trauma reprocessing– and further develop, research, and disseminate effective treatments for trauma that reach core violations and are compelling for clients.

Advancing trauma treatment
Beyond emotion regulation and symptom management, we seek to address a more holistic impact of trauma and target core beliefs about one’s self-esteem and identity. We cannot rewrite the past, but we can edit the meaning assigned to one’s experiences, and help clients release self-blame, anger, and grief, and help them heal with compassion and understanding. After addressing their pasts, clients can shift their focus towards creating a future that they desire.
We provide training, consultation, and implementation support in two complementary models: Warrior Renew group treatment for interpersonal trauma across the lifespan (including during the military), and Holographic Reprocessing individual therapy for a variety of traumas. Both treatments utilize cognitive and experiential strategies including imagery reprocessing where clients imagine delivering a message to their younger self who experienced trauma or maltreatment.
Making an impact
Healing is more than symptom reduction; it’s about reigniting the light in people’s soul.
The Trauma Reprocessing Institute is committed to making an impact by training and inspiring clinicians who can reach clients in their practice. Together, we can make a meaningful impact.
This is an endeavor of passion, and purpose… for our collective healing. Imagine the ripple effects of positivity from helping individuals heal from experiences of trauma.
