Hello, I’m
Dr. Alauna
I want you to know, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. In fact, you are far from alone; we are all connected in trauma. Through this site, I hope to offer you an effective path to emotional, psychological and spiritual healing. As a Board-Certified Psychiatrist, specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of complex psychological trauma and related mental health conditions, I have diagnosed and provided intensive trauma treatment for US Military veterans for the last 12 years. After years of studying and teaching the most evidence-based trauma treatment interventions currently available, I began to recognize that psychological trauma was present at the core of any mental illness. Whether you realize it or not, you and someone you know is experiencing the debilitating and life altering impact of individual and collective trauma. Once I understood the predictable patterns of thoughts and behavior, and the impact of traumatic experiences on a few specific brain systems, it became clear that these numbers significantly underestimate the prevalence of trauma. We believe that Empathy heals all trauma.
Dr Alauna has broad hope for America and all society. Her earnest desire is that the empathy message would resonate with all mankind everywhere.

“Walking through trauma alone won’t get us to mental health; walking together will. Trauma is a spiritual illness, and empathy is the cure. Empathy is not just walking in someone else’s shoes. Go deeper; Empathy is walking in someone else’s MIND!” ”
