Trent's professional experience comes from working in acute PHP/IOP settings with over 1500 children and young adults. During his time working with children and adolescents, Trent created an original expressive curriculum, using a trauma-informed somatic informed approach designed to help patients access deep emotions in their bodies and express, meaning to “push out”, emotions to restore their mental health. Trent is skilled at using expressive therapy through art, music, poetry, and comedy to achieve therapeutic goals. Trent is also passionate about helping individuals who have suffered religious or spiritual trauma, and those in the challenging process of deconstructing their faith.
He has a passion for building therapeutic relationship with children/adolescents and adults in order to encourage healthy strong connections. Offering virtual and in-person visits, Trent looks forward to beginning the healing process today.
