The NeuroTriad Model
Applied Neuroscience for Trauma Recovery, Regulation, and Resilience
A brain-aligned clinical framework that helps professionals translate the science of stress, trauma, neuroplasticity, and memory reconsolidation into practical tools for healing.
Developed by Dr. Kate Truitt
A Brain-Aligned Framework
Developed by Dr. Kate Truitt, the NeuroTriad Model is a neuroscience-integrated, trauma-informed framework built on three foundational lenses: trauma-informed care, neurobiologically based practice, and resilience-focused solutions. Grounded in Brain Partnershipโthe practice of understanding the brain as an active partner in healing, regulation, and resilienceโthe model gives clinicians a structured way to understand stress, trauma, dysregulation, and adaptive change while translating applied neuroscience into practical tools for emotional regulation, trauma recovery, adaptive state development, and sustainable resilience.
Why it matters
Built for modern clinical practice
The NeuroTriad Model helps clinicians connect neuroscience to real-world care through a framework that is structured, practical, and designed for meaningful therapeutic change.
01
Trauma Recovery
Translate current neuroscience into practical interventions that support recovery from stress, trauma, and dysregulation.
02
Emotional Regulation
Use structured tools that help clients build adaptive states, regulation capacity, and resilience over time.
03
Clinical Integration
Move beyond theory alone with a model designed for real-world use across mental health, behavioral health, addiction treatment, psychiatric, medical, occupational therapy, school, and community-based support settings.
04
Professional Growth
Strengthen your practice through advanced training, consultation, continuing education, and a clear certification pathway.

The model
Science Into Practice
The NeuroTriad Model helps clinicians connect the science of stress, trauma, neuroplasticity, and memory reconsolidation with practical tools for healing.
Built for mental health and allied healthcare professionals, including clinicians, behavioral health providers, addiction treatment professionals, psychiatric and medical team members, occupational therapists, school and community-based support professionals, and other qualified practitioners working within their scope, it offers a structured path for applying brain-based care with rigor and warmth.
NeuroTriad Model Research
The NeuroTriad Model is supported by an active research program at the Truitt Institute, where applied neuroscience, clinical practice, and real-world implementation come together. This work is designed to advance the modelโs evidence base while translating brain-based research into practical tools for trauma recovery, nervous system regulation, resilience, and meaningful therapeutic change.
