Hi, I’m Mercedes Cusick, a Trauma Specialist and Certified EMDR Therapist, dedicated to helping individuals heal from the lasting effects of trauma and reclaim their inner peace, strength, and joy. My work is deeply personal—not only am I a trauma specialist, but I am also a trauma survivor. I understand both the clinical and emotional challenges of the healing process, and I bring this unique combination of expertise and empathy to everything I do.
For well over a decade, I’ve specialized in treating childhood trauma, complex PTSD, toxic relationships, and narcissistic abuse. My professional journey has taken me from crime scene counseling to working in residential treatment centers and private practice, allowing me to develop a comprehensive and compassionate approach to trauma recovery.
I created the Trauma Unlocked course to make the tools and techniques I’ve used with my clients accessible to anyone seeking to heal. This course combines cutting-edge neuroscience, EMDR principles, and practical strategies to help you understand how trauma affects your nervous system—and, most importantly, how to regain balance and control.
