How Audra Helps
First Responder Clinical Counseling
Audra uses a person-centered approach, incorporating EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), brief interventions, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and family systems therapy to help first responders and their families heal. Audra is able to heal PTSD for her clients in a very brief amount of time — first responder traumatic events, once identified, are cleared and healed in ONE session.
Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD)
Audra is a skilled clinician at facilitating Critical Incident Stress Debriefs. CISDs are an important piece of a well-designed First Responder Wellness Program — they create a supportive space for people to share their experiences, normalize their reactions, and develop healthy coping mechanisms in the aftermath of a critical event.
First Responder Training
Audra has created and delivered training and workshops in Stress Management, Conflict Resolution, Grief and Loss, and Resilience Building. She is also a 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Certified Trainer.
