Dr. Denisa Millette, a Clinical Director at Mothers Advocacy Project, is a Licensed Psychotherapist, a University Professor of Psychology, and a Certified Clinical Supervisor. As a trauma practitioner and a researcher with over 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Millette currently serves as a committee chair of the International Association for Resilience and Trauma Counseling of the American Counseling Association. Dr. Millette’s research efforts are focused on trauma-informed care, vicarious trauma, and emotional intelligence. Dr. Millette is a member of the American Psychological Association, the American Counseling Association, and Psi Chi, The International Honor Society in Psychology.
Dr. Millette developed Trauma Assimilation and Social Stability integrative model (TASS) specifically for use by Mothers Advocacy Project and partners working with similar populations. The TASS model is an evidence-based, bio-psycho-social intervention combining trauma-focused psychotherapy and social advocacy. The main components of the three-phase program include group and individual psychotherapy, family advocacy sessions, social and instrumental support, psychoeducation, and practical life skills training.
The trauma-focused individual and group psychotherapy in all three phases of the program draws from the most recent research findings in the field of clinical trauma, combining theoretical approaches of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Trauma Exposure Therapy, Art Therapy, and Mind-Body Practices, such as trauma-focused yoga and martial arts. The focus of the social advocacy component is on establishing client social and economic stability through stable housing and employment as well as mastering fundamental life skills, such as time management, budgeting, and self-care.
