About NeuroNarrative Reprocessing Therapy (NNRT)
NeuroNarrative Reprocessing Therapy (NNRT) is a trauma therapy that helps your brain and body heal from difficult experiences. In safe, steady sessions, we gently work with your story and your nervous system so past events no longer feel overwhelming in your daily life.
Trauma Therapy
NeuroNarrative is for people who feel trauma not just in their memories, but in their bodies and emotions — through strong reactions, shutting down, or feeling overwhelmed. Sessions move at a steady, supportive pace and focus on helping you feel safe while we gently work with difficult experiences. Over time, your nervous system learns a new response, so triggers feel less intense and the past stops interfering with your present life.
Clinician Training
NeuroNarrative training gives therapists a clear and practical way to help clients heal from trauma. Clinicians learn how to work with the nervous system, pace sessions safely, and recognize signs of overwhelm or shutdown. This helps trauma sessions feel more steady, effective, and manageable for both the client and the therapist.
Reta Whalen
Reta Whalen, MSW, LCSW, SOTP Founder and Developer of NeuroNarrative Reprocessing Therapy
Reta Whalen developed NeuroNarrative Reprocessing Therapy out of a simple frustration: the trauma work she was trained in wasn't always meeting her clients where they actually lived — in their bodies, in their nervous systems, in the parts of themselves that words alone couldn't reach. She wanted something more organic, more somatic, and more attuned to how trauma actually moves through a person.
