Rachael Starr is a licensed therapist who has spent the last decade helping veterans, police, firefighters, dispatchers and other first responders recover from job-related trauma.

Rachael specializes in treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Complex PTSD, and sex addiction with therapies that include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and animal-assisted therapy. She founded The 11th Hour Trauma Retreat in 2017 to provide a unique therapeutic option that allows first responders to do intensive work in a safe environment.

Specializing in retreats run by licensed therapists over a series of days, The 11th Hour offers first responders a chance to jumpstart the healing process, overcome isolation, reclaim their lives and continue their careers.

“I have learned that once or twice a week of any therapy is simply not enough, and that intensive work yields powerful results,” she said. “That’s why I created The 11th, Hour. We provide a safe environment to work through past events, present triggers and anxiety about the future, leaving people far more resilient.”
