Victoria Latifses, PhD, Embodied Psychotherapy LLC, is a licensed clinical psychologist with 22 years of experience working with survivors of ritual abuse and organized abuse (SRA/RAMCOA) and with individuals from high-control and high-demand communities, including NXIVM, the FLDS, and Mormon and Amish communities. Their therapeutic style is warm, relational, and direct.
Nervous system regulation is among the first skills Victoria teaches. Treatment draws on Internal Family Systems (IFS) and other parts-work approaches, Brainspotting, somatically informed EMDR, Somatic Experiencing®, and Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR). Over time, clients often find that simply existing becomes more tolerable, and even comfortable.
