For Professionals

You care for others. We care for you.

At 11th Hour Trauma Center, we partner with professionals nationwide, from first responders to nurse case managers, claims adjusters, attorneys, and therapists, to deliver reliable, compassionate trauma treatment for those who need deeper healing.

Many of our referrals come from providers who’ve watched their clients plateau in traditional weekly therapy.

Our intensive trauma recovery program offers a more immersive option that accelerates breakthroughs while maintaining continuity of care.

We collaborate with;

  • Physicians and psychologists are referring clients needing intensive trauma therapy.
  • EAP coordinators supporting burnout recovery
  • Veteran service providers seeking specialized trauma and PTSD treatment

Our clinical team maintains open communication with referring providers, ensuring seamless transitions, timely updates, and treatment integrity from start to finish.

We’re not a replacement for ongoing therapy. We’re a trusted partner when trauma needs more time, depth, and focus.

Doctor: PTSD Retreat Can Produce ‘Strikingly Better’ Results for First Responders

Dr. David Green learned the value of intensive therapy for his PTSD patients because, like any good psychologist, he was listening. A group of firefighters from a nearby department were talking about a PTSD retreat that seemed to help—and he could see that they were right.       

Green spoke at length with the founder, Rachael Starr, and discovered that she was offering Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) in an intensive setting, a PTSD retreat that often lasted a week or more. He eventually referred a patient. Then, another. After several years and roughly two dozen referrals, Green has reliably seen patients recover and, in many cases, return to work.

“I’ve been doing this for more than 30 years and the results are strikingly better for first responders who go there, to an almost uncanny degree,” he said.  

Starr said that specializing in first responders has allowed her team to gather special insight into how to relate to PTSD patients in an intensive setting. Starr herself has gone so far as to ride along with police and firefighters to get a sense of their environment and experiences. 

“Police, firefighters and other first responders work in a very unique environment,” she said. “They experience trauma—sometimes very extreme trauma—regularly, and yet the culture requires them to simply endure. Even today, as departments become more aware, we still see too many cases where first responders are asked to deal with this alone and without any tools.”   

“It’s hard to do it in outpatient therapy, when life is going on around them,” Green said. “Children are crying, everything is topsy turvy because they’re not at work and they’re worried about their claim not being accepted. Half the therapy is explaining to them why worker comp is so frustrating.” 

Green recommends immersive therapy at 11th Hour for patients with multiple traumatic events, many of whom are also dealing with issues that extend beyond work. First responders have childhood issues. They have families and mortgages. They are parents and spouses. They experience traumatic events outside the workplace
