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.

NYCATT continues to plan new events and ways to enhance and grow our community. With that objective, we are pleased to announce a new series of gathering opportunities. 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. Stay tuned for further details.

February Monthly Forum with Hatti Figge: February 7, 2026
Therapist as Embodied Instrument
You are invited to an exploration of what it truly means for us as therapists to be embodied in our
ourselves and our clinical practices; the value of and how we can cultivate grounded, present
relationships with ourselves, understand and use this awareness as a tool in our personal lives
and clinical work.
This event will be part elucidation, part experiential and part conversation. We will explore the
ways embodiment shapes therapeutic presence, deepens attunement, and fosters authentic
reciprocity in the therapeutic relationship. Together, we will begin to consider what it means to
practice and play with being deeply and consistently present with ourselves and how this
presence influences the dynamics and outcomes of our work.
Therapists at all levels of mindfulness and embodiment practices welcome - we hope this can be
the beginning of a knowledge share that deepens the presence and capacity of our clinical
community.
