Guest: Rachel Walker, MA, MFT

Rachel Walker, MA, MFT is a licensed therapist and EMDRIA Approved EMDR Consultant specializing in the treatment of trauma and dissociation. In addition to seeing clients out of her office in Oakland, CA, Rachel teaches, consults, and provides mentorship at colleges and non-profits, as well as within the mental health community at large. She has created an in-depth training for mental health professionals on the fundamentals of treating trauma and dissociation called, 'At the Crossroads of Trauma Therapy', which integrates theories, interventions, and information from many of today’s most effective trauma models and research sources: EMDR, Structural Dissociation, Parts Work, Comprehensive Research Model (CRM), Attachment Research/Theory, Developmental Psychology, Neuroscience, and Psychobiology. 

Rachel is also the founder of the online platform, TraumaRecoveryStore.com which provides simple, hands-on tools for improving trauma treatment and promoting the self-healing process. She has created numerous tools for therapists and survivors alike, including the Trauma Recovery Guidebook for Therapists (in English, Spanish, and Icelandic), the Trauma Recovery Handbook for Survivors (in English, Spanish, and Icelandic), and NeuroPeeps, instinctive defense ‘parts’ dolls (Fight, Flight, Freeze, Submit, Attachment Cry), designed to facilitate psychoeducation and parts work. The primary mission of the Trauma Recovery Store is to demystify and destigmatize trauma and dissociation. To this end, the store offers products that provide concrete information, practical tools, and simple maps for making treatment and recovery more transparent, approachable, and navigable. Her books, tools, and trainings are infused with simple every-day language, step-by-step guidance, and hope!

Rachel is passionate about integrative and flexible approaches to treating trauma. She understands how well such approaches resolve symptoms across a wide spectrum of trauma-related suffering. Through this way of working, many more people are being helped, which is enormously heartening!
