Compassionate, Professional Trauma Therapists

At the Center for Trauma Recovery, our team is made up of licensed clinicians, holistic practitioners and facilitators who are all trained on trauma-responsive techniques. We are deeply committed to supporting clients through every stage of healing. Each member of our team brings specialized training, lived experience, and a shared belief in meeting others with respect, safety, and compassion.

With over 300 years of combined clinical experience, we understand that trauma impacts everyone differently. Our team works collaboratively across clinical therapy, body-based practices, and expressive modalities to provide care that is thoughtful, individualized, and grounded in evidence-based approaches. Above all, we believe in creating an environment where people feel seen, heard, and supported.

    • EMDR Level 1 & 2 trained, SSP facilitator

    • Trauma-focused Breathwork Facilitator

    • Reiki Master Teacher

    • Owner-Woven Waters Coaching w/ Jackie (Transformative Trauma Coach)

    I am a trained social worker who has had the privilege of working in the clinical field for 40 years. I have worked in a variety of agencies as well as being self-employed. My focus throughout has primarily been trauma, addiction, depression and anxiety as well as a variety of other mental health conditions impacting the individual. I believe in providing a compassionate and empathetic approach when connecting with clients, families and communities. I also inherently believe that no one journey an individual is on is the same as the next person.

    I (with my partner Charlie) developed the Center for Trauma Recovery to meet the unmeant needs of individuals experiencing (or have experienced) trauma. The design and creation of the Center and more specifically the Intensive Outpatient Trauma Focused Women’s program and various groups is based on a holistic, person-centered approach.  Each group allows the individual to find their “center” and work at the speed their bodies and nervous systems will allow.   

    In my free time I work as a Transformative Trauma Coach within Woven Waters Coaching with Jackie Corbally which I founded and own (jackiecoaching.org). I enjoy being outside whether in the mountains or on a beach, reading (love the escapism a book provides!)  and spending time with my family/friends and dogs, cat and goats.

Laura Cheney, IOP, M.Ed.

    • Trauma-Informed Life Coach

    My winding career path began with an M.Ed. in secondary education, teaching middle and high school social studies, followed by ten years running my own business, Flashbags, in Burlington. I later transitioned into marketing and branding, working as an account manager at Select Design and supporting international, national, and local brands.

    Driven by a desire to work more closely with the community, I joined the Burlington Police Department as Executive Assistant to the Chief of Police. In this role, I worked closely with Jackie and became deeply interested in understanding—and reframing—how, as a society, we can better support individuals who have experienced trauma and who struggle with substance use disorder.

    Today, I serve as a facilitator within the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), where I focus on self-discovery, community, and connection, reinforcing pathways for growth and healing.

    Outside of work, I love spending time with my three-year-old son, Xander, practicing presence moment by moment, bringing compassion into the world, and adventuring and laughing with my family and friends.

Christine Du Mond yoga therapist center for trauma recovery

Christine Du Mond, TCYS

  • Most of my life I have lived in Vermont where I raised a family and owned several businesses as a florist, candle maker, landscape designer and yoga instructor.

    Through my yoga practice, training and teaching, I have found a new paradigm in my outlook on health and wellness that has become an ongoing exploration in personal embodiment. I love my work as a Trauma Sensitive Yoga facilitator and I am dedicated to a safe and therapeutic alliance with my clients....in charge of themselves based on a felt sense of their own body.

    In my personal life I enjoy long walks with my dog Fig, cooking, reading, gardening, making art and simple pleasures with friends and family.

    • Board Certified Art Therapist

    • Rostered Psychotherapist

    I have worked in Community Mental Health for 17 years in a variety of settings and roles supporting children, youth, families and adults. As an art therapist, my focus is to teach individuals how to heal through the creative process. The idea of using art as a tool for self-expression, in a non-threatening manner is truly powerful. Sessions focus on the process, rather than the product and often strengths and struggles present through the exploration of materials.

    I am a Vermont native. I enjoy traveling with my family, cooking for family gatherings, painting, relaxing with a good book, and spending time in nature.Board Certified Art Therapist

Kristy Wrigley therapist center for trauma recovery

Kristy Wrigley, LCHMC

    • EMDR 1 & 2 Trained

    • SSP in process

    I started in the helping profession in 1991 and have worked in various settings across Vermont to treat and consult with clients experiencing significant adversities and traumas. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health professional trained in providing community mental health services to those in need. I have advanced training in providing trauma informed care and have been qualified by Vermont Courts as an expert in the field of treating and assessing people affected by trauma and ongoing adversities. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with clinical leadership teams in residential (long term, short term assessment and crisis stabilization) programs, Designated Agencies, alternative and public school settings across the state to develop and implement a system of trauma informed care. 

    My passion is direct service with clients and assisting them with navigating adaptations related to adversity that contribute to difficult symptoms and unwanted consequences. Together, we work to understand physiology related to adversity and develop coping skills to reduce intensity, duration and frequency of difficult symptoms. As a client, you will receive unconditional positive regard, met where you are in the stage of change and a partner in working to resolve issues related to adversity and trauma.

Facilitator, Strength Coach

Amanda Gautreaux, MA, LCMHC, LCPC

  • First and foremost I'm a mom, animal- lover, holistic nutrition and wellness student, and musician. I'm driven to work with individuals who come from hard places or who have experienced things no one ever should. These experiences fundamentally change who we are and I'm devoted to learning the best possible ways to support trauma recovery using a variety of techniques. I've become certified in Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, and Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapies and am also a perinatal mental health specialist and sex therapist. I often work with neurodivergent and queer clients, both individually and in their relationships.

    The combination of my studies and life experiences as a trauma survivor leave me a seasoned and "familiar" clinician. Clients often say they feel comfortable and at ease with me very quickly. I'm dynamic in my approach and strive to help clients meet goals and see growth, but warm and relaxed. I truly believe laughter is the best medicine - we WILL laugh while you heal!
