Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Support

Nan Riekert draws on trauma-informed approaches to help people process and move forward from experiences of abuse or other traumatic events. This approach focuses on understanding how trauma affects thoughts, feelings, and relationships and on building coping skills that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
