Where trauma therapists gather!
Who we are
We envision a space where therapists gather to share information and support.
The organization aims to disseminate information on advances in the field of trauma therapy, as well as to support the professional growth of its members. NYCATT further seeks to educate the public about the benefits of trauma therapy and provide community and resource development opportunities for its members.
The non-for-profit organization's ultimate goal is to build a community of ethical, highly educated, and well-trained trauma psychotherapists. By bringing together professionals in the field, NYCATT hopes to elevate trauma therapy.
NYCATT appreciates the myriad cultural complexities facing trauma therapists and their clients and is committed to providing an environment that welcomes and respects diversity, equity and inclusion.

The monthly sessions will each last 1.5 hours and will be conducted via Zoom on different days and times, presenting different options for members of the community to participate and learn from experts and distinguished guests.

The Trauma-Informed Intake
Special Guest: Megan Elliot​
​
​
Traumatized patients often feel unsafe in their initial session. Telling their story can be overwhelming and make them not want to return to your office. Learn to obtain the information you need without dysregulating your patients! This workshop teaches clinicians how to keep patients in their Window of Tolerance using clear expectations, pacing, language, and psycho-education. Prioritize your patient’s nervous system over their story and effectively engage them in treatment. ​
