ImTT Trauma Therapy for Veterans & First Responders in Rhode Island
Naval Station Newport hosts the Naval War College — where senior officers process the weight of command, strategic responsibility, and career-defining decisions. Dr. Flores delivers ImTT therapy for Rhode Island veterans via PSYPACT telehealth, serving Providence, Newport, and statewide.
Specialized ImTT Trauma Care — Available Across Rhode Island
Dr. Flores is a nationally recognized ImTT trainer and trauma psychologist offering Image Transformation Therapy for combat PTSD, moral injury, military sexual trauma, first responder trauma, and narcissistic abuse. ImTT achieves rapid, durable results without requiring detailed verbal narration of traumatic events — making it the modality of choice for veterans and first responders who have found other treatments intolerable, retraumatizing, or simply ineffective.
All Rhode Island services are delivered via PSYPACT-authorized telehealth. You do not need to travel. You need a secure video connection, a private space, and an hour.
Rhode Island Military Context
The Naval War College community includes some of the most senior officers in the US Navy and Marine Corps — leaders who have processed the moral and strategic weight of command and who often struggle to access therapy without concerns about professional impact. Rhode Island has a compact but professionally accomplished veteran community, with a high proportion of senior and career-retired officers in Newport.
Military installations served: Naval Station Newport (Naval War College, Officer Candidate School, Surface Warfare Schools) and Quonset Point ANG.
Who Benefits Most from ImTT
- Combat veterans with persistent flashbacks that have not responded to EMDR, CPT, or Prolonged Exposure
- Veterans who cannot tolerate narrative exposure — who find detailed verbal recounting destabilizing or culturally incongruent
- First responders with occupational PTSD — law enforcement, firefighters, EMS, dispatchers — who need a focused, results-oriented approach
- Veterans with moral injury — the specific wound of having done, witnessed, or failed to prevent something that violates a deep moral code
- High-functioning veterans and first responders — officers, senior NCOs, command-level first responders — who need an intensive approach rather than open-ended exploratory therapy
- Veterans who have tried everything and are looking for a different pathway
Dr. Flores has specific clinical experience with: senior officer moral injury, strategic command stress, combat PTSD, career-end transition trauma.
PSYPACT Telehealth — What It Means for Rhode Island Residents
PSYPACT (Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact) is a multi-state licensure agreement that allows licensed psychologists to practice across state lines via telehealth. Dr. Flores is PSYPACT-authorized, which means she can legally provide therapy to residents of Rhode Island without requiring a separate RI-specific license.
There are no geographic restrictions on who she can serve within Rhode Island. Rural residents, those in areas without local trauma specialists, and those who prefer the privacy and convenience of telehealth are all equally eligible.
ImTT Intensive Programs
Many veterans and first responders cannot commit to weekly outpatient therapy. Dr. Flores offers ImTT intensive programs — concentrated 2-day or 3-day programs delivered entirely via PSYPACT telehealth that achieve more processing than months of weekly sessions. You do not need to come to New Orleans. You need three focused days and a reliable connection.
