SS7. Secure Remembrance | Special Series on Trauma Response with Nicole Porter Davis The Creative Psychotherapist

    • Entrepreneurship

Nicole Porter Davis ATR-BC, LCAT specializes in early childhood, acute assessment, trauma treatment, family development and community outreach. She is noted for her immediate response in Newtown, CT initiating art therapy services following the horrifying massacre at Sandy Hook School. She was invited to Director Child Therapy for the Sandy Hook Healing Project days after the tragedy.

Ms. Davis later established the Emerald Sketch, LLC employing an art therapy response team of independent clinicians bridging the gap for trauma services first for Newtown, CT. Now she is the founding Director of Emerald Sketch A.R.T., Inc. a non-profit designed to help mobilize clinicians anywhere in the world set up sustainable Creative Arts therapy
services immediately after any horrifying trauma. Her current focus has been on the American migrant child crisis training practitioners as well as mobilizing Art therapy response for the traumatized children of Brooklyn.
Nicole recently co-authored the first trauma response ‘Manual” for The Red Pencil, an international humanitarian organization providing Creative Arts therapies to the global community. In addition to her clinical work, Nicole's latest Creative work was the development of An American Nightmare, a solo performance that debuted off Broadway in NYC, July 2019.

Her Performance Art experience began at a very young age. She co-wrote and performed music in Philadelphia as The JillRabbits, 2005-2014. Prior to this Nicole studied Theater Arts, Dance, Music, and Art throughout her entire childhood. She then developed her focus into Fine Art and Psychology during her undergraduate studies. She maintains a handful of private clients in Brooklyn and the greater New York community, and provides online clinical supervision and training for Creative Arts Therapists. Thrive Global publishes her latest stories online.

Nicole and I began recording this Special Series on Trauma Response early on in the pandemic. She has been sharing the art therapy protocol she uses in the treatment of trauma. We were hopeful that the pandemic would come to a close prior to the end of 2020 and we would release these final stages after that. Unfortunately, this has not been the case and decided to to finish out the series. Links to the past episodes are featured in the Resources list. In today's episode we discuss Secure Remembrance and Transformation.
