PRS Trauma Recovery & Education Program provides trauma recovery counseling to individuals suffering the effects of trauma in their lives, as well as organizational education and training about trauma, its effects, and providing trauma informed services.

Individualized counseling sessions are offered to those who have suffered a trauma, whether in the recent or distant past, and who suffer from its lasting effects.

Unaddressed trauma can fuel:

  • Hypervigilance
  • Emotional Reactivity
  • Sensory Overstimulation
  • Poor Sleep Patterns & Bad Dreams
  • Eating Disorders
  • Substance Abuse & Addiction
  • Struggles with Intimacy & Affection
  • And more...

If you or someone you love suffers from any of the above or other symptoms related to trauma, PRS' trauma recovery counseling can help!

Trauma recovery counseling helps to address trauma whether in the recent or distant past and helps the client understand the role it plays in current daily life. You will learn to identify, interrupt and change maladaptive mindsets and behaviors rooted in trauma using techniques such as awareness of body, thought and emotions; mindfulness; and exploration of triggers and responses using Internal Family Systems (IFS, or parts work).

Is One-On-One Counseling Right For You?

In the immediate aftermath of a traumatic event, trauma symptoms are common for a period of time. When symptoms persist without relief it may be time to work with an expert to help you on your path to healing. If you’re unsure whether counseling is right for you, the Trauma Recovery Practitioner can discuss that with you.

One-on-one counseling is $85 per session. This service accepts private payments, cash or credit card; no insurance billing is available. Call or text Julie Hatzell (530-927-5873) to see if Trauma Recovery counseling is right for you and/or to schedule an appointment. Trauma recovery counseling is provided remotely via Zoom. For those without personal internet access, PRS can arrange a private space, laptop and internet access for the session.

“Trauma is personal. It does not disappear if it is not validated. When it is ignored or invalidated, the silent screams continue internally, heard only by the one held captive. When someone enters the pain and hears the screams, healing can begin.”  – Danielle Bernock

Education & Training

PRS’ Trauma Recovery Practitioner provides training and workshops on trauma-informed services throughout Northern California, though delivery in other regions can be arranged. Preferred delivery for trainings is in-person, but they can be delivered online or in a hybrid of both if participants must attend from varied locations. Trauma Education trainings and workshops are individually quoted for each organization based on individual needs.

Trainings cover topics that may include:

  • What is trauma, types of trauma, & typical early childhood traumas (ACES)
  • How trauma affects the brain and behavior
  • What trauma looks like in children and in adults
  • How trauma impacts learning, relationships and other daily activities
  • Tools to create trauma-informed services
  • Compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma and the necessity of self-care

Trauma Informed Customer Care

This 6-hour training for the workplace is designed for staff who interact with customers and supervisory staff to understand how to provide supportive response during interactions with someone who is affected by trauma, and how to best employ deescalation skills in the moment.

Trauma Informed Schools Training

This training, customizable 2 to 6 hours, is for educational environments and explores trauma responses, physical and psychological safety for students and staff, the impact of trauma on education and other long-term outcomes.

Trauma Informed Patient Care

This 2-hour training is for healthcare environments and covers the biology of trauma, ways to mitigate trauma responses in patients, how trauma might be exhibited in both child and adult patients, and examining your own judgements and bias when interacting with patients.

Trainings specific to the following areas are already developed: trauma-informed schools, customer service, and trauma in the office (working with clients who have experienced trauma). Training can be developed or tailored to meet your organization’s specific needs.
