Terri McColl, LCPC
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
Terri is a trauma specialist with addictions training and an internship at Hope House of Laurel. Her clinical work centers on the intersection of complex trauma and substance use — a place where most addiction programs stop short.
As the author of Trauma Bonds and the founder of Renewed Minds Therapy Services, Terri brings neuroscience-informed, polyvagal-aware, and deeply compassionate care to every lesson in this program.
Her message is consistent: you are not broken — your brain learned to survive. Healing begins the moment you understand that.
Trauma Bonds: Breaking Free from Addiction and Childhood Trauma
The companion book to this program — Terri's exploration of how early trauma shapes the bonds we form with substances, and how understanding that connection becomes the first step toward freedom.
