Welcome to Kirsten Kraus
Somatic Trauma Therapist
I have worked with a variety of emotional trauma release modalities for the past 20 years. This includes The Comprehensive Resource Model, a cutting edge trauma therapy that employs brain-based physiological safety as the foundation for healing (CRM), Resource Brainspotting, Family Systems Attachment Theory, Somatic Archaeology and Heart Centered Therapy.
Using a holistic approach focusing on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of each client, I help them remove the limitations of fear-based thoughts, unresolved trauma, triggers that induce stress, and unwanted emotional & behavioral patterns. This approach is based in neuroscience and helps to "re-wire" the brain for safety and secure attachment.
CRM (main modality used) is a very gentle process that goes deep into the neurophysiology helping to down-regulate your nervous system around the targeted issues. CRM builds a scaffold of resourcing to safely and effectively release traumatic material, extinguishing the fear response and transforming old patterns of thoughts and beliefs that no longer serve you. It reaches into the deepest parts of the brain to effect real and lasting change. Thus, allowing you to find your joy again and experience a new way of "being".
In 2016 I was honored to join The Global Medical Foundation on a humanitarian mission to Nepal and Tibet. Our team provided life saving surgeries to people in these impoverished countries. I worked with orphaned children and adults who had lost limbs, fitting them with prosthetics and doing trauma therapy to help them heal from tragic events. Another highlight was teaching the Comprehensive Resource Model to post-graduate students at Nepal Medical University. This was an amazing and humbling experience and I am forever grateful.
Outside of work I enjoy tennis, pickle ball, walking my dog Poppy and spending time with my husband, four adult children and two grandsons.
Kirsten has received numerous honors for her work including the prestigious "Wise Woman of the Year Award" from The National Association of Women Business Owners
