Therapy Works
Restoration One Ninety-Nine (R:1:99) is a grassroots community organization dedicated to improving mental health, educational attainment, and human welfare for survivors of complex traumas. We offer individual and group therapy as well as other growth opportunities for survivors of complex trauma through our economic empowerment program. We also provide family members of survivors with support services in the greater Washington, DC area.
​We focus on helping survivors of complex traumas, such as sexual, military, domestic violence, bullying and other types of repeated traumas. Research has taught us that trauma "lodges itself" somewhere in the brain/body, R1:99 offers expressive therapies such as art, music, drama, and movement in addition to traditional and specialized psychotherapy to assist survivors toward wholeness.
Our therapists are trained in a variety of treatment modalities and we will design your treatment plan according to your individual needs. Our therapists are skilled in helping survivors reduce symptoms and move toward long-term success. We follow both traditional and innovative holistic approaches that will help you thrive.
Our overall program goals:
1. Provide treatment by highly-skilled, licensed clinicians in cutting-edge trauma-informed therapies.
2. Offer Economic Empowerment that teaches transferable skills and provides work experience, as well as therapy.
3. Advocate though community-based seminars and workshops that help attendees who are significant others with survivors to become trauma-informed
Therapeutic Treatment Approaches
Bottom-up or top-down approaches? Which is best, or does it matter when it comes to complex trauma?
1. Bottom-up approaches work through the body to change the brain, especially the lower subcortical areas of the brain, outside of conscious awareness and control. For instance, bottom-up techniques can be utilized to de-activate the amygdala (fear center) or to strengthen and regulate the insula (site of interoception).

2. Top-down approaches engage the mind to change the brain. In other words, the brain, especially the higher cortical areas, can be altered with positive thoughts.

Approaches include:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that is trauma-focused (talk therapy)

We Have DC & MD Therapists
Currently, we offer virtual individual telehealth sessions in DC & MD. Since therapists can only see clients in the state in which they are licensed, where you live determines who your therapist will be.

Payment for Services
-
$190 for a 60-minute individual session.
-
$225 for a 60-minute session for 2 people.
-
$150 for a 60-minute session with our Clinical Intern.

​
For private paying clinical services, we accept payment through CashApp. This is a free app you can download on your phone and there are no service fees. Fees need to be paid before your session.
Additionally, we accept payments through AmeriHealth Insurance, which is a type of DC Medicaid insurance. If you have another type of insurance, we will provide you with a receipt for you to process with that insurance company.
​In order to remain financially sustainable so that we can continue to meet our mission, we do three things:
-
We offer a sliding scale fee-for-services for those who qualify by filling out a scholarship form and submitting financial documents. Limited slots are available.
-
We receive support from generous individuals in our communities, corporations, churches, and foundations for therapy.
-
When you pay the full fee, a portion of your payment goes to provide scholarships and other services (clothing, food, transportation, lodging, etc.) for survivors of complex trauma who cannot afford them.
Every one of these approaches is essential and enables us to offer care to as many individuals as possible.
