• Collaborate with patients to develop and implement personalized treatment plans focused on trauma recovery, resilience, and overall mental well-being.
• Utilize evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), to facilitate healing.
• Work closely with psychiatrists and other mental health professionals to provide integrated care that considers all aspects of patient needs.
• Provide crisis intervention and emergency support during trauma-related situations, ensuring patients receive immediate and effective care.
