About your Instructor
Tracey Chester, M.S., M.A., is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT 93387) and a Trauma-Informed Consultant and Founder and Clinical Director of San Diego Medical Pain and Trauma Institute. Her mission is to promote awareness, and ultimately widespread change, for primary care clinics to utilize Trauma-informed Care based on collaboration of mental health providers and medical doctors . She hopes through trainings and 1-1 peer mentorships to help primary care clinics institute a truly collaborative, integrated model, that takes into account the multiple dimensions of trauma. She argues that trauma-informed practices though all elements of a visit, will transmute frustrated doctors and defeated patients to trauma-informed doctors and empowered patients who will truly participate in their health care plan.
Tracey is amongst a small professional community that studies the relationship between grief, trauma and chronic illness/pain. Her research primarily focuses on the treatment of trauma through state-of-art new modalities such as ecotherapy, surf therapy, ketamine-assisted-therapy and the effects of THC/CBD on symptoms of pain and emotional trauma. Tracey is also a certified Grief Counselor and a Certified surf Therapist. Tracey’s mission is personal, as she is a chronic pain patient and a survivor of Complex Developmental PTSD, and the lived experience has proved helpful when working with patients with chronic pain.
