to heal.
We are redefining healing by moving trauma care beyond the clinical space and into the places where people actually live their lives. Your donation makes that possible.
This form is for donations only. Any questions, please contact Mindy Levine at [email protected]
Thank you for supporting CFTE! We now offer four optional designated funds for your donation, accessible via the interactive dropdown menu labeled "Designate your gift’’ during the payment process. If no area is selected, we will allocate your donation where it's needed most.
You can also donate from your DAF (Donor-Advised Fund). Scan the QR code to learn more about DAF as a powerful tool of giving.
the impact of your support
Healing is a movement worth joining.
Millions of people around the world are suffering alone, unable to get the care they deserve — feeling like what is available isn't working or isn't culturally relevant.
The Center for Trauma and Embodiment understands that healing is a journey worthy of effective support, where the whole person must be cared for, including their body. Our research and evidence-based healing models are accessible to everyone.
"With TCTSY, I reclaimed my body. That is a gift because I so hated my body. Or I claimed it, not reclaimed because I was so young. I claimed it. It was a long process to consider myself not an outline... I think TCTSY helped define me."

Fundraise for CFTE
Join the movement with your community.
Since 2002, CFTE has been dedicated to providing effective, evidence-based care for people around the world who have experienced chronic relational and systemic trauma and PTSD.
The impact of trauma extends to a person's whole self, including their body. Talk therapy typically leaves the body out and focuses only on the mind. The feelings of terror and the threat of danger are felt in our bodies — and that is where healing must also happen.
"The trembling, the pit in your belly, the urge to flee, the urge to fight, the shutting down and going numb. These are not pathological responses. They are biological responses to survival."
Center for Trauma and Embodiment
With over 1,000 facilitators in more than 50 countries, we estimate that over one million people have tried one of our care models. We have given over $200,000 in scholarships so that healing can stay in communities.
