Dr. Darsa’s Distinct Trauma Therapy Approach

Dr. Darsa’s passion for trauma healing doesn’t stop with the Reconnect Center. She created the Reconnect Integrative Trauma Treatment Model (RITTM) to help clinicians everywhere improve their quality of trauma care.

Dr. Darsa's Philosophy

Trauma creates a disconnect inside of a person, separating them from their body, emotions, mind, friends, family, and spirituality. Trauma disconnects you from your whole well-being, but healing comes from reconnecting.

Dr. Darsa improves clinicians’ quality of care by teaching them her proven body-mind approach of reconnecting people to their whole selves.

Dr. Darsa’s method can treat trauma at its roots by focusing on how our bodies and minds work together. She emphasizes a focus on the present to overcome traumas of the past.

Private Consulting for Individual Clinicians and Organizations

Dr. Darsa has helped clients overcome debilitating trauma and live fuller lives for over 20 years through her gentle, body-based Reconnect Integrative Trauma Treatment Model (RITTM).

Combined with an elevated sense of awareness, compassion, and knowledge, RITTM enables you to heal the whole person with intensive, integrative, and evidence-based therapies.

With RITTM, Clinicians and Organizations can:
