Understanding the Trauma Directory

Every therapist is trauma-trained and vetted. Three clear tiers help you choose the right support for your healing journey.

Trauma-Informed Clinician

Foundational safety, skills, and psychoeducation; good for stabilisation and lower-complexity work.

Choose when you are starting out or want practical tools fast.

Trauma-Advanced Therapist

Regularly treats complex trauma, and accredited in their therapy modality.

Choose when impact persists, pattern repeat, or dissociation needs skilled support.

Trauma

Specialist

Advanced training across modalities, guided by expert supervisors or certified trainers.

Choose when: significant dissociation, or past treatment hasn’t stuck.

How do I know which therapist is right for me?

Start with the 60-second Guide - it suggests a starting tier and helpful filters. Then use the directory filters to match your needs: care level (tier), approach (e.g., EMDR, IFS, SE), language/culture, budget, and format (online or in-person). Read profiles for experience with concerns like CPTSD, dissociation, or sexual trauma, and book a short intro call to check fit. If it's not a match, the therapist will usually suggest next steps.

How much does therapy cost?

Fees are set by each therapist and shown on their profile under Fees (often with currency). Many offer a sliding scale or limited lower-fee spots; some can provide receipts for insurance where applicable. Use the budget filter to narrow options and ask about sliding-scale availability in your first message.

What if this feels scary?

That's normal. You're doing something important. Keep it simple and start small — the 60-second Guide and a brief message are enough. You can use this script: Hi [Name], I'm looking for support with [e.g., CPTSD/flashbacks]. I prefer [online/in-person], my budget is around [range], and I'm available [days/times]. Does this fit your scope, and do you have availability in the next few weeks? You're free to pause at any time. If this therapist isn't a fit, we'll help you find someone who is.

Do I have to pay to use this directory?

No, Trauma directory is free for searching and finding the right Therapist.

Online or in-person?

Both are available. Use Format to choose online or in-person, and Location/Time zone to find someone near you or who can meet your schedule. Many people find online therapy just as effective and easier to access; choose what feels safest and most practical.
