APSATS — Find a Partner Trauma Specialist

What it is

APSATS trains and certifies clinicians and coaches in the Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model, and its public directory is the practical piece for anyone reading this site. The distinction matters more than it sounds. A general marriage counsellor with no partner-trauma training will often reach for a codependency framework, which is the model the field moved away from for good reason, and a woman can spend a year being treated for a problem she does not have. An APSATS-certified specialist is trained to treat what she actually has. They are also the practitioners who facilitate formal therapeutic disclosure — the structured, prepared telling of the truth that spares a partner the staggered drip of revelations that does most of the long-term damage. Free to search; the clinicians set their own fees.
