Dr. Arielle Schwartz is a clinical psychologist and leading authority on integrative trauma treatment. She developed Resilience-Informed Therapy, a comprehensive model combining EMDR, somatic psychology, polyvagal theory, and mindfulness-based approaches for treating childhood trauma, PTSD, complex PTSD, and dissociation.
Dr. Schwartz has taught therapeutic yoga for trauma recovery since 2008 and authored multiple influential books including Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma Recovery, a widely referenced guide to applied polyvagal theory. Her work emphasizes strength-based, embodied approaches that facilitate post-traumatic growth rather than merely symptom reduction.
As an internationally recognized speaker and trainer, Dr. Schwartz has shaped modern trauma treatment standards across clinical settings. Her research and clinical innovations have elevated care quality by bridging neuroscience with practical therapeutic interventions. She integrates relational psychotherapy, interpersonal neurobiology, parts work, and third-wave CBT approaches within coherent treatment frameworks that address both psychological and physiological dimensions of recovery.
Dr. Schwartz's clinical approach emphasizes self-driven healing, helping clients discover capacities for meaning, strength, and renewed purpose after adversity.
