## Resource

Rachel Siegfried, PhD, is a licensed clinical psychologist in New York City with extensive experience treating trauma across diverse populations. She holds a B.S. from Cornell University and a doctorate from LIU Brooklyn, and has trained in major NYC hospital and clinic settings, working with individuals including trauma survivors, veterans, 9/11 first responders, undocumented individuals, LGBTQIA clients, and emerging adults. She recently authored a chapter on complex PTSD for a book on trauma and the law, helping legal professionals better understand trauma’s psychological impact. Dr. Siegfried is particularly interested in exploring moral injury and how untreated trauma is often misdiagnosed as personality pathology rather than recognized as PTSD.
