Developmental Trauma (DTD) or Complex Trauma (CT) can be a result of caregiver abuse, neglect, or chronic misattunement. Put simply, the experiences we have with our primary caregivers can have long-lasting and significant impacts on our physical and mental health in adulthood. Contrary to largely held societal beliefs, emotional abuse has the strongest correlation with symptom severity in adulthood.

Our Psychlogical Therapy By Dr. Agnello
I have extensive experience, expertise, and passion for working with developmental / complex trauma .
I was the educator for a women’s shelter, a certified sexual assault crisis counselor, and worked with families who experienced trauma before I returned to school in 2014 to pursue my doctorate in Clinical Psychology. During my time in school I focused on Developmental Trauma (DTD). My dissertation, many outside trainings, and readings all focused on DTD.
