Jan Bergstrom has been in practice for 25 years as a licensed mental health counselor and trainer in the field of co-dependency and developmental trauma. She studied extensively with Pia Mellody, a pioneer in the treatment of childhood trauma, from 2002 to 2018. In tandem, she studied with Terrence Real from 2002 to 2007, learning his Relational Life Therapy model for couples. In 2016, she completed a three-year, body-based Somatic Experiencing Practitioner training program developed by Peter Levine. In 2013 along with Dr. Rick Butts, she created the Healing Our Core Issues Institute, which is dedicated to teaching therapists a methodology for treating childhood trauma. Through the yearlong training, therapists learn the HOCI model which is an integrative model using four theoretical models informed by the Core Issues work of Pia Mellody, attachment theory, mindfulness, and body-based methodologies.
