Davie, Florida, United States
Luca Hartman, MS (she/her) is a fourth-year doctorate student in the clinical psychology program at Nova Southeastern University. Her research and clinical interests include the impact of complex trauma in childhood, the effects of discrimination and minority stress, the role of contextual factors in predicting treatment outcomes, and effective psychotherapeutic practices. Luca completed her first-year practicum at the Child and Adolescent Traumatic Stress Program, where she treated children, adolescents, and families affected by trauma and familial discord. She completed her second practicum experience at the Trauma Resolution and Integration Program (TRIP), a clinic focused on providing trauma-informed, affirmative care to adult survivors of childhood abuse and neglect. Her directed study focused on the role of the family-of-origin environment in predicting dissociation and posttraumatic stress in adults with histories of child sexual and physical abuse. Luca is also currently working on a grant-funded project that aims to develop a scale that captures specific variables related to child sexual abuse that predict negative outcomes in adulthood. Currently, she works as the research coordinator for TRIP, where she aids in research design, database management, statistical procedures, and development of academic manuscripts. She is a contributing student editor for the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS) newsletter, for which she has co-authored three articles, and is a member of the ISTSS Complex Trauma Special Interest Group. Luca is a student member of the American Psychological Association, as well as Division 56 Trauma Psychology, and the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation.
