Tactical Stress Management for First Responders & Medical Personnel in the St. Louis & St. Charles area
I do not provide services to those in litigation or are seeking evaluations for disability claims.
Emergency medical personnel, police officers, dispatchers, firefighters, nurses, chaplains ad social workers are incredibly resilient. However, at times you may need extra support to manage the stress you experience from someone who is trained specifically to assess and treat the challenges that come from a career that focuses on the needs of others. You won't need to "translate" from military, first responder or medical language to civilian language as I have extensive experience and a high rate of success treating medical personnel and first responders with Mindfulness Based Stress Management practices. I have over 100 hours of continuing education with military communities through the Center for Deployment Psychology, Bethesda, MD, Military One Source, Wounded Warrior Project and the Center for PTSD . I do not diagnose PTSD. Only a medical professional trained in appropriate PTS assessment tools can provide a diagnosis of this serious disorder. I provide Critical Incident Debriefing services to the Missouri Dept. of Corrections, Dept. of Transportation and other institutions through several insurance companies. I am on several EAP's that service first responders so check your EAP prior to calling for an appointment.
I do not provide Disability recommendations unless you have a cancer diagnosis as this is my area of expertise. PTSD is a serious medical diagnosis and should ONLY be diagnosed by a licensed psychiatric professional trained in appropriate assessment tools specific to PTSD. I am trained in "trauma sensitive /trauma informed therapy",
but this differs from trauma therapy.
Certified Level I and II Warriors at Ease Meditation & Yoga Teacher. Warriors at Ease has partnerships with the Department of Defense, the VA and WWP. Teaching these practices to active duty military, Veterans and First Responders as well as medical personnel has become a gratifying part of my practice. As a former Wounded Warrior Project Odyssey clinical contractor, I have seen the changes that are possible when a Veteran is connected to the appropriate resources and provided with tools customized for their unique needs.
