Introduction of Guest and Trauma-ization

Antonieta Contreras, a former banker originally educated as a mathematician, is a trauma psychotherapist who graduated with a Master’s in Social Work from NYU. After forming her clinical skills as a gestalt therapist and training at agencies with highly traumatized people, she received a specialization in Trauma Studies from the Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapies (ICP) and in Human Sexuality from NYU School of Medicine. She maintains a private practice where she combines different trauma modalities as well as the contemplative techniques that she learned from studying within Buddhist traditions.

Antonieta’s book recently received the award for the best book of 2023 in the category Psychology/Mental Health division by The American Book Fest.
