Reta Whalen developed NeuroNarrative Reprocessing Therapy out of a clinical frustration: the trauma work she was trained in wasn't always meeting clients where they actually lived — in their bodies, in their nervous systems, in the parts of themselves words alone couldn't reach. A Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Clinical Director at Ora Counseling in Logan, Utah, Reta has spent years working with Complex PTSD, Functional Neurological Disorder, and Dissociative Identity Disorder — the kinds of layered wounds that don't resolve through talk alone.
From 2016- 2018, she trained under the late Dr. Al Carlisle known for his foundational work on dissociation. That mentorship shaped how she thinks about the parts of the self that hold trauma. NNRT grew directly from that work — a structured approach blending narrative, somatic awareness, and nervous system pacing.
NNRT grew out of that clinical work, blending narrative, somatic awareness, and nervous system pacing into a structured approach to trauma reprocessing. Reta now teaches it to clinicians who want a clear framework that respects both the story and the body holding it.
