Dr. Stephanie Mines is a neuropsychologist whose unique understanding comes from her academic research as well as her extensive work in the field. Dr. Mines understands trauma from many perspectives and her blend of Western and Eastern modalities offers the best of both paradigms. She is devoted to ending the lineage of shock and trauma for individuals and the world.

Dr. Mines developed the TARA Approach for the Resolution of Shock and Trauma, which is taught internationally and is a clinically tested comprehensive treatment design. The TARA Approach is also a non-profit organization dedicated to providing alternative health options for a broad spectrum of populations.

Dr. Mines, as a director of the DOM Project, is responsible for disseminating information to communities in need, especially people suffering from illness that results from shock and trauma, survivors of domestic violence, families and children, and people living with neurodiversity including autism and other sensory integration challenges. 

She is the author of five books that reflect over three decades of her research as a neuroscientist. She has investigated shock and trauma as a survivor, a professional, a clinical researcher, and healthcare provider.
