ABOUT OUR PRACTICE

In 1997, Drs. Giessl and Hensley conceived of and developed the Cincinnati Trauma Connection (CTC) in response to the increased community need for psychological trauma assistance and education. The mission of the CTC is to serve as one of Greater Cincinnati’s leading resources in the field of psychotraumatology.
