Livia Adia Budrys, LCSW, C-IAYT, SEP
Livia is a psychotherapist, social worker, yoga therapist, Somatic Experiencing practitioner, and spiritual activist. She is the founder of the Yoga-Informed Model and is an advocate of the mind + body paradigm shift. She implemented one of the first yoga therapy programs for mental health treatment in a nationally renowned residential treatment center. There, she developed a clinical residency program to train the next generation of psychotherapists to weave yoga into their treatment of complex mental health and trauma. She is passionate about best practices and the integration of neurobiology, somatics, yoga, and psychotherapy for the healing of addiction, eating and mood disorders, and the often underlying acute and chronic traumatization. Livia’s psychotherapeutic experience includes training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Change Therapy (ACT), DBT- Prolonged Exposure (DBT-PE), Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP), anti-oppressive psychodynamic psychotherapy.
Livia’s engagement with yoga and meditation began with a two-year residency at the Himalayan International Institute of Yoga Science and Philosophy, where, in 1999, she was initiated into the tradition of the Himalayan Masters. She has completed over a decade of advanced and therapeutic yoga certifications and became a Reiki Master in 1998. She has been deeply influenced by the mindfulness training she received from Vietnamese Zen Monk Thich Nhat Hanh.
Today, she works to educate healthcare organizations, conducts research, and presents nationally the benefits of yoga for mental health and trauma awareness to reduce systemic burnout. She partners to implement therapeutic programs, training, and protocols that utilize the Yoga-Informed model and community-based, accessible Somatic Experiencing. She has enjoyed several clinical leadership roles in inpatient settings, most recently as Director of Trauma-Informed Care at a national treatment center – always with her hope to serve clients while supporting the system’s greater capacity for sustainable well-being.
After this training, participants will be able to:
- Describe the neurologic of trauma.
- Identify and describe the principles of trauma-informed care and the steps to change.
- Assess your practice for trauma-informed care and utilize tools to address gaps in practice.
