About us

TraumaTherapistsOnline.com is a directory. It lists 4,184 US therapists who include trauma and abuse among their areas of focus.

Who it is for

It is for adults who are carrying the effects of something hard that happened to them, whether it was recent or many years ago. It is also for people who want to understand their options before they talk to anyone.

You do not need to describe what happened to use this site, and you do not need to be sure that therapy is right for you.

Which therapists are listed

Every therapist here lists trauma and abuse as an area of focus. Each one also holds a licence recorded in one or more of these places: Delaware, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. A therapist may hold a licence in only one of them. The state shown on a profile is the location the therapist lists.

Listing trauma as a focus area is not, by itself, evidence of training in any specific trauma therapy. If a particular method matters to you, ask the therapist about their training and experience with it.

Where the profiles come from

Profiles are based on information supplied by BetterHelp, an online therapy platform. Each profile shows the focus areas, approaches, experience and languages the therapist lists.

We are independent. We do not employ the therapists and we do not recommend one over another. When you follow a link to BetterHelp from a profile or concern page, we will earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

What this site is not

This site shares information. It is not medical advice, a crisis line or an emergency service, and therapy does not replace medical care. If you are in immediate danger, call 911. To talk to someone now, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
