Trauma-Informed & Trauma-Focused
Psychotherapy Services
Trauma-Informed: A trauma-informed approach to the delivery of behavioral health services includes an understanding of trauma and an awareness of the impact it can have across settings, services, and populations. It involves viewing trauma through an ecological and cultural lens and recognizing that context plays a significant role in how individuals perceive and process traumatic events, whether acute or chronic (SAMHSA, 2014).
Trauma-focused: A trauma-focused approach assumes that unhealed trauma plays a major role in presenting issues, denotes greater action in the delivery of treatment services, and promotes proactive treatment planning to heal the legacy of trauma (Marich J, Dansiger S, 2018).
