The goal for the clinical psychologist—which will also serve the addiction and mental health programs—is to provide comprehensive trauma-informed mental health care that survivors of human trafficking require and to destigmatize this type of care.

Employing a clinical psychologist, who is trained in trauma-informed and survivor-centered practices, directly and integrating him/her within the core THRIVE team signals to survivors and the community that this care is standard practice: the same way a patient navigator helps survivors manage the health care system, the clinical psychologist helps survivors manage their well-being now and for the future.

The clinical psychologist will be available to support survivors and their families 3 times per week and help to connect them with others who may be interested in forming support groups.

Together with the LCSW, THRIVE clients will receive daily behavioral therapy.

Those who need more intensive services will be referred for inpatient psychiatric treatment.
