Trauma Recovery for Professionals

Clinical Psychologist I

Evidence-based trauma recovery with for professionals and high-functioning individuals

​

Trauma isn’t rare — it’s our shared human inheritance. Decades of research show that over 70 % of adults globally will experience at least one traumatic event in their lives; yet fewer than 20 % receive treatment that truly addresses its deep, systemic effects. Trauma is not a personal flaw — it is a biological imprint: neural circuits shaped by fear, memory pathways rewired by overwhelming experience, and emotional regulation systems hijacked long after the event has passed.

 

If trauma can rewire the brain, then recovery is equally neuroplastic: with skilled, intentional support, it is possible to calm chronically elevated stress systems, reclaim cognitive control, and restore relational trust. Healing is not forgetting — it’s transforming: from survival mode to creative, connected life.

 

For leaders, doctors, thinkers, and professionals — the work you do matters. But your psychological wellbeing matters more. Strong on the outside shouldn’t mean suffering inside.

​

Whether you are a physician on the brink of burnout, an executive navigating profound personal loss, or a high-achieving professional carrying the invisible burden of trauma, trauma leaves a blueprint — psychological, somatic, relational, and often unspoken. Trauma is not just what happened to you; it’s what continues to happen inside you.

 

Drawing on Dr. Sandhya’s clinical expertise and her internationally-acclaimed scholarship (including Displaced: Refugees, Trauma, and Integration Within Nations, Oxford University Press, 2024), this program is tailored for professionals who are functioning, capable, and successful — yet quietly grappling with the long-term impacts of deep psychological injury. 

 

Who This Is For

​

Professionals who experience distress related to:

 

• Sexual assault & intimate partner violence

• Childhood abuse, neglect, and attachment injury

• Genocide, war, torture, and refugee-related trauma

• Domestic violence and coercive control

• Loss from homicide or suicide of loved ones

• Life-threatening illness, medical trauma, and chronic pain

• Intergenerational / familial trauma transmission

• Moral injury and burnout in high-stakes careers

• Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD)

​

This work recognizes that trauma is multifaceted, not limited to any one form of adversity, and that professionals often carry their wounds while maintaining high levels of performance.

​

15-session Overview

​

Trauma Recovery for Professionals offers a blend of:

 

• Clinically validated frameworks — cognitive-behavioral, somatic, relational, and trauma-informed therapies

•  Neuroscience-informed practice — addressing brain-body dysregulation

• Culturally competent care — recognizing identity, power, and context in healing

• Adaptive regulation skills — for anxiety, flashbacks, hypervigilance, and emotional numbing

• Relational repair — for trust injuries within close relationships

• Professional reintegration planning — restoring purpose, balance, and self-compassion

Every plan is tailored: brief crisis-focused support, medium-term structured recovery, or longer-term transformative therapy.

​

Why Work With Dr. Sandhya

​

Dr. Shaifali Sandhya is a US- and UK-trained clinical psychologist and author.

Dr. Sandhya combines deep scholarship with compassionate clinical acumen — grounded in evidence, enriched by cultural humility, and sharpened by decades of working alongside professionals who thrive outwardly but carry deep inner strain.
