Angie Bare (she/her)

TRAUMA MODEL THERAPY CERTIFICATION / 2024 Trained through the Colin A. Ross Institute for Psychological Trauma in the principles of Dr. Ross' Trauma Model and the relationships between trauma, dissociation and comorbidity within the model. The Trauma Model is a detailed, scientifically testable theory about the relationships between trauma and a wide range of mental disorders and addictions.

TRAUMA RECOVERY INSTITUTE Provided individual, family and group-based psychotherapy for survivors, specializing in complex trauma and dissociative disorders using a combination of ACT and CBT modalities.

By working at the Trauma Recovery Institute, I had the privilege of learning directly from those with dissociative disorders; walking alongside them as they learned about their dissociation and began to accept how trauma had impacted their brains and bodies, and assist them as they worked to find healing.

I was trained in Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI) at the Settlement Home for Children in collaboration with the TCU Child Development Institute in preparation for becoming a foster/adoptive parent. Later, as a therapist, I went on to lead parent groups for foster and adoptive parents at The Settlement Home for Children, helping equip parents with tools/skills to regulate their own nervous systems as they were caring for their children who had traumatic starts.

I know what it's like to be raised in a religious environment and live in a conservative area while wanting to protect and love my LGBTQ children. I long to help parents find peace in their hearts and joy in their children regardless of their own upbringing or present community. In addition, I have spent most of my adult life working with and advocating for the LGBTQ community. Walking with them through their grief and their joy as they learn to love and accept exactly who they are is an honor.
