trauma specialist
Treats psychological wounds
A trauma specialist is a professional who treats people affected by deeply distressing experiences—abuse, violence, accidents, or other overwhelming events.
In medicine, the term may refer to surgeons who handle acute physical injuries.
In mental health, it typically means a therapist trained in treating psychological trauma: She's been seeing a trauma specialist since the accident.
