The LGBTQIA+ Trauma Treatment Program
The WCM LGBTQIA+ Trauma Treatment Program faculty and clinical staff address PTSD and related issues using a three phase approach of stabilization, traumatic memory processing, and reintegration. The Center’s primary treatment modality is EMDR, an evidence based therapeutic intervention with a very high success rate.
Noted author and activist Richie Jackson writes about The WCM LGBTQIA+ Trauma Treatment Program in the Advocate.
