Trish's Certifications

Trish is a Somatic Experience Practitioner (SEP), a body-centered therapy that is a holistic approach with talk and physical therapy. Its main focus is to heal the impacts of trauma through the processes of the connection of body, mind, nervous system, behavior, and cellular levels. The objective is to help navigate the internal landscape of an individual still caught in survival or defensive orienting responding and move them into exploratory orienting responding, which increases resilience to move in and out of fight, flight, fear, freeze without getting seized up in any one survival pattern. This work helps them move through patterns of undercoupling and overccoupling due to trauma impact, and opens up the possibility of them recoupling or coming back online. This opens up the ventral vagal pathway, specifically the point of social engagement, leading to a sense of feeling anchored, calm, safe, and more expansive in body and mind. She trained for 3 years with the Somatic Experience Training Institute under Gina Ross, Dr. Larry Heller, Dr. Raja Selvam, and Dr. Peter Levine.

Trish is trained in NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), a specialization in attachment, relational, and developmental trauma. The model integrates relational orientation and the nervous system. It highlights working with the life force and the survival styles and patterns that get locked in the nervous system and body. By exploring and meeting the 5 core needs of connection, attunement, trust, autonomy, love-sexuality, it can encourage a release of old survival patterns that are no longer needed and can promote connection to our authentic self, in relationship to others and to our life. Trish trained for three years and was under the guidance and teaching of Dr. Lawrence Heller at NARM Training Institute.

Trish has specialized training in NeuroAffective Touch, under the teaching and guidance of Dr. Aline LaPierre, and Somatic Touch taught by Kathy Kain. This type of therapeutic work is an interwoven approach of psychotherapy and touch work. It focuses on bringing balance and connection with the body and mind. Conceptualized by LaPierre as a “polyvagal-informed psychobiological approach”, it promotes interoceptive awareness, unwinding the unspoken stories, the body and energetic systems, and bridging the vital relationship of body and mind. It is both a bottom-up (body-mind) and top-down (mind-body) that encourages the capacity to touch into the depth of emotions, nervous system, and the mind, with the objective to clear the path to aliveness and awaken an innate sense of healing.
Trish is certified in Attachment Focused Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, taught by Dr. Laurel Parnell and Constance Kaplan. Using the technique of bilateral stimulation, this approach focuses on attachment-repair orientation while processing and freeing stored information that may continue to hold someone back in their life evolution and expansion. It has many layers to healing. One specific landing point is objective memory where the relationship to the old unfinished trauma is awakened, processed, and completed, then integrated; this allows the truth of someone’s story without reliving it. Another specific landing point is a generalization effect where if you target and unlock a specific trauma it can move many traumas that sync up to it without having to go through each trauma individually.
Trish is a certified Deceptive Sexuality and Trauma Therapist (DSTT), a specialization in deceptive sexuality and trauma (DST), offered by The Institute for Sexual Health (ISH). DST Treatment (DSTT) subsumes infidelity, compulsive sexual behavior, and sex addiction and the traumatic impacts the intimate partner or spouse, the relationship(s), children, and family systems, as well as the abuser. This model of treatment embodies the vein of justice that runs through it to heal the systemic injustice that has occurred, often for years. It is a non-shaming approach that provides accurate and authentic information and intervention to help people move towards integrity, intimacy, and integration.
Trish is a leading professional voice in Deceptive Sexuality and Trauma Treatment (DSTT) and is an Adjunct Professor and Faculty Member of The Institute for Sexual Health (ISH), and currently teaches Level 3 of the DSTT Professional Training along with Dr. Omar Minwalla, Licensed Psychologist and Clinical Sexologist. Trish formally trained directly under Dr. Omar Minwalla and was an instrumental part of Dr. Minwalla’s original core clinical treatment team at The Institute for Sexual Health from 2009 – 2015, which is referred to as Dr. Minwalla’s, Sacred Clinical Incubator, giving birth to both DSTT and IVTT, Intentional Vibe Trauma Treatment. IVTT is a treatment for systemic abuse, injustice, and complex trauma, and relevant in particular to survivor-based communities.
Trish is a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), a specialization in addictive and compulsive sexual behaviors, offered by the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP). This training was taken to better understand the field, and what was happening to treat sex addiction populations, and to see how to build a bridge between her work at ISH with CSAT training, and to foster collegial growth, continuing education, and important professional development in this area of treatment.
Trish is a Certified Partner Trauma Therapist (CPTT), a specialization for partners who experience trauma due to an addiction, offered by the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP). This training for partners of sex addictions provides continued knowledge of other perspectives and current approaches being developed in the field, particularly related to an often-marginalized population in survivors of deceptive sexuality.

Trish is a Certified Clinical Partner Specialist (CCPS) working with the Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model (MPTM), a specialization in the treatment of partners of sex addicts and betrayal trauma, offered by The Association of Partners and Sex Addicts Trauma Specialists (APSATS). In her work with intimate partners of deceptive sexuality, APSATS has provided ongoing collegial networking opportunities as they continue to learn about trauma and sex addiction.

I felt seen, known, heard and understood while being cracked open and safely held and exploring the deep weighted wound of injustice. It was a comprehensive, intensive deep dive into the devastating and lonely world of the multi-faceted experiences of trauma related to compulsive entitled sexuality and infidelity and its impact on us as partners. If you are truly ready to work through your losses and explore your resilience and reclaim your personal power, reality and truth this is the program for you! I highly recommend Trish’s workshops.

It was such a blessing to be able to attend Trish’s 6-day intensive.  Trish connected lovingly and authentically with each participant.  She helped me to dig deeply into my emotions and process the grief and trauma I often try to hold at bay in my ineffective attempt to protect myself from pain.  The material is weighty and important, and connecting with other resilient women and finding joy and humor together was so restorative.  I love Trish’s incorporation of both breath and art into every aspect of the program. I intend to take these tools forward with me as I rebuild from the destruction my husband has created in my family.  I arrived in sorrow and fear, but left feeling hopeful, courageous, and confident.

Trish and her profoundly comprehensive therapeutic work are safe harbor from the onslaught of betrayal and its subsequent wasteland of confusion, pain, despair, isolation and reverberating Trauma.

Trish helped me to finally anchor, rebuild and restore. She helped me understand What Happened. After decades of gaslighting, manipulations, and emotional assault, she brought clear light, deep care, and real healing. Trish adeptly uses a multitude of techniques to compassionately confront the complexities of betrayal trauma, while helping release its root adhesions to both psyche and body.

This Intensive has been a crucial piece to my healing process. I was extremely isolated. To be with other women who were also impacted by betrayal trauma, was an incredible gift. The freedom to share without shame, to support one another, and to again experience deep trust, created a bulwark of strength I sorely lacked before the Intensive.

Trish brilliantly and compassionately tends to each individual in the group setting, that also ignites a profound collective healing. My life is profoundly richer for it. If any woman is suffering from betrayal trauma and has the opportunity to attend one of Trish’s Group Intensives, I urgently recommend they take advantage of this extraordinary lifeline opportunity.  Thank you Trish!

Taking Trish’s intensive was a magical and healing experience, to say the least.  There were so many synchronicities – some as simple as butterflies outside the window and butterfly cards gifted to us by a fellow student. Others were more profound such as three nieces (one from each of us) born within 3 days of each other, with 3 candles set out and lit for each one. The material itself is the most comprehensive material I’ve ever come across in regards to physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual, and societal impacts of Sexual Addiction, and in particular on partners and families. As we moved through the material, Trish paid careful attention to how each member of our group responded. This woman has mastered the craft of attunement. She noticed the subtle nuances such as a change in breath or eyes glazing over from disassociation, to more obvious trauma responses like involuntary muscle spasms in the face or head. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to be seen and held as I confronted this life-altering wound in the safety of this container (the course). Thank you, Trish, for this innovative work that paves the way for restorative, informational, and relational justice for so many women going through and struggling to thrive beyond this trauma.

I knew I needed help to dive deeper into my body and healing. Although I had done so much work, I felt in my gut there was more – my heart was open to it. This 4 day intensive gave me the opportunity to go deep to release trauma that I had stored in my body and soul and work with it in a caring and open way. With the help of Trish, and the wonderful women in our intensive, I felt whatever arose, held it and came out the other side. Again and again. Yes, I got a lot of information that was helpful, but for me, the true value of the workshop was to feel held, and to hold other women just like me in a loving circle. Sometimes we feel so alone. Only a leader with deep integrity, intuition, wisdom and somatic understanding could lead such a group. We were invited to hold ourselves and each other in understanding and empathy. Slow down. Breathe deeply. Listen with our whole selves as Trish took us deeper. I am forever grateful.

I feel truly filled by the past 6 days. Trish held us with so much love as she worked with us. She carried us with such wisdom and kindness, creating the most beautiful shared experience of love, safety, and hope, woven with each woman’s personal and unique individual processing and insights. I feel changed by the connection formed through the true vulnerability that each deeply beautiful woman shared. For myself, I feel a connection to my heart, an ability to hold my heart going forward as I continue to process all that has happened, and trust in myself and the path to future beauty, happiness, and internal richness. I also feel a new felt sense of how to hold space for others and really be with them as they share. It gives me hope that I will be more connected to other humans again, more deeply than before and from a place of being deeply centered and grounded in myself. Leaving these 6 beautiful days, I feel filled up connected, and hopeful.

I am so grateful I was able to be part of the 6-day intensive. Trish has a way of being able to hold space for everyone simultaneously, and tap into each of us like she can see directly into our soul! She has given me so much I didn’t even know I was missing. My voice, permission to unlock my heart, and led me to a path of healing I was running from. I was so damaged from all the years of betrayal and pain, I could never imagine there is hope for me, there IS a path to healing. Trish with her infinite patience, kindest heart and wisdom literally led me to a place of empowerment, uncovered my buried voice, and gave me the confidence to be vulnerable. Being there with her and the other woman for 6 days, was life changing and I am looking forward and ready to continue on my healing path.

The 6-day intensive was a transforming experience for me. Omar and Trish have a thorough understanding of the deep fractures betrayal trauma inflicts throughout our bodies and souls. The Minwalla Model holds the detailed knowledge of what we as the betrayed have been experiencing. Trish offers both practical and inspiring ways on how to identify it, say it, feel it, and process through the most raw and cutting emotions. I walked in despondent and hopeless. I left remembering my power and finding myself again. I still have a difficult journey ahead of me, but I have myself back. I believe this program is for the unseen. Those of us lost in our betrayal trauma. Definitely, life changing. Trish is warm, insightful, having brilliant attunement with all of us in attendance. She is truly sagacious and individualized in her approach to our healing journey.

Trish has changed my life! She gave me hope when I had none left. She is the absolute best person to guide you through healing and heartbreak. Her energy, her loving soul and ability to get through to the group and me personally was solid. In the 4-day webinar, and from what I thought not possible, Trish helped me move through the pain, emotions, and tough things that I wasn’t able to work through in years of therapy. Trish is a truly special person, with a gift of helping others in a way I’ve never experienced in my life. I felt heard, safe, understood at a very deep level. She touched my heart and soul, and I feel so blessed and forever grateful for having found her and the 4-day course. Trish has made such an impact on me and my healing journey. I HIGHLY recommend her workshops.
