Description

Dr. Linda Gantt is the co-founder of the ITR Training Institute and HelpForTrauma.com. After closing her long-standing Intensive Trauma Recovery clinic, she now dedicates her efforts to expanding the reach of the Instinctual Trauma Response® (ITR) protocol to practitioners worldwide. Grounded in neuroscience, ITR is a structured, integrative approach that combines parts psychology, art, narrative, and somatic therapies. 

This method effectively addresses trauma at its core—including prenatal and preverbal experiences—without requiring individuals to relive distressing events. Versatile and accessible, ITR can be implemented with individuals as young as three, in both group and individual settings, through hourly sessions or intensive formats.

Danni Davis, LCSW brings over 30 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, adults, first responders, and couples. Certified in EMDR and ITR, as well as a Clinically Certified Sex Offender Treatment Specialist, she specializes in trauma-related disorders. 
Danni views ITR as a transformative tool in mental health—capable of rapidly reducing symptoms while promoting long-term healing and resilience
