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. She has been a consultant, supervisor, and faculty at ICP, where she spent the last seven years building and teaching the curriculum of a postgraduate program to train clinicians in becoming trauma therapists. She also teaches sexual trauma at NYU, runs EMDR groups toward certification, frequently interacts with followers who seek out her answers about traumatization online and has given talks in hospitals, agencies, and universities to create awareness about trauma. She's the author of the book Traumatization and Its Aftermath (Routledge, 2023), a groundbreaking work acclaimed as the Best Book Awards winner in the Psychology/Mental Health division. Her expertise in this field shines through in this award-winning book, which has garnered recognition for its exceptional contribution to the understanding of trauma and mental health.
