Culturally Inclusive & Responsive Care
Founded by Alfred White, an autistic, neurodivergent lived-experience survivor, TLOEP supports individuals and communities affected by adverse experiences, chronic stress, and trauma.
Services are designed with an understanding of the diverse experiences of BIPOC, LGBTQ+, senior, autistic, and other neurodivergent individuals.
TLOEP integrates trauma-informed approaches, nervous system education, HeartMath® techniques, and the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), as appropriate to the service being provided.
Start With the Learn Your Value™ ABEs/ACEs Screening
Understanding your experiences can be a meaningful first step toward identifying support that may be helpful to you.
The free Learn Your Value™ ABEs/ACEs screening provides a starting point for exploring adverse experiences and their potential relationship to stress, well-being, and everyday life.
Following the screening, you can schedule a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your goals and explore available services.
What We Offer
Bottom-Up, Autonomic Nervous System–Focused Support
