Tell it, feel it, heal it.

NeuroNarrative Reprocessing Therapy (NNRT)
We are proud to offer NeuroNarrative Reprocessing Therapy (NNRT), a trauma-focused modality developed by Reta Whalen, LCSW.
NNRT is a structured, supportive approach that works with both your experiences and your nervous system. Rather than only talking about what happened, it helps the brain and body process those experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional or physical intensity.
Sessions are carefully paced to help you stay grounded while working through difficult material in a way that feels safe and manageable.
How NNRT Is Different
NNRT integrates:
-
Narrative work (your story)
-
Nervous system regulation
-
Bilateral stimulation (gentle left-right stimulation)
-
Ongoing support and co-regulation with your therapist
This allows the brain to update how trauma is stored—rather than simply replaying it.
What It Can Help With
NNRT may help with:
-
Intrusive memories or emotional overwhelm
-
Anxiety or hypervigilance
-
Emotional numbness or shutdown
-
Body-based (somatic) symptoms
-
Shame or negative self-beliefs
-
Triggers that feel out of proportion
You don’t need a diagnosis—if your body reacts as if something is still happening, trauma therapy may help.
Our Approach
NNRT is:
-
Gentle but effective
-
Structured yet flexible
-
Grounded in nervous system science
-
Focused on safety and pacing
Healing doesn’t require reliving everything—it requires the right conditions for your brain and body to process and release what’s been carried.
Investment
NNRT sessions are offered in extended time blocks to support safe, effective processing. These services are private pay only. 60-Minute Session – $200
This session may include assessment for readiness, preparation for intensive work, integration following reprocessing, or ongoing treatment planning.
90-Minute Reprocessing Session – $300
Designed for initial trauma reprocessing, introduction to the NNRT modality, or extended preparation and processing sessions.
2–3 Hour Trauma Intensive – $550
Extended, uninterrupted reprocessing time designed for deeper trauma work within a carefully paced and supported clinical setting.
When time is reserved, that time is held exclusively for you. This structure protects pacing, nervous system safety, and the integrity of the reprocessing

Clinician Training & Certification in NNRT
NeuroNarrative Reprocessing Therapy (NNRT) was developed and invented by Reta Whalen, LCSW, to provide clinicians with a clear, structured, and nervous-system informed approach to trauma treatment.
NNRT training is designed for licensed mental health professionals who want more than theory — they want a practical, repeatable framework they can confidently implement in session.
This training is especially valuable for clinicians who:
-
Feel stuck when clients dissociate or shut down
-
Want more structure during trauma processing
-
Struggle with pacing and intensity regulation
-
Want a clearer way to integrate narrative work and somatic awareness
-
Desire a protocol that supports both safety and depth
-
NNRT provides:
-
A step-by-step trauma reprocessing framework
-
Clear preparation and stabilization guidelines
-
Specific pacing and bilateral stimulation guidance
-
Dissociation recognition and response protocols
-
Relational positioning and session language support
-
Competency standards and fidelity guidance
Certification is offered at Foundational, Advanced, and Instructor levels, allowing clinicians to build skill and depth over time.
NNRT is structured without being rigid, relational without being vague, and clinically grounded in how trauma is stored in the nervous system.
Clinicians leave training with clarity, confidence, and a protocol they can use immediately in practice.
