Stress & Trauma Treatment Center

What Stress & Trauma Treatment Center does

The Stress & Trauma Treatment Center (SATTC, legal entity The Stress & Trauma Treatment Center, Inc.) is a nonprofit mental health organization founded in 2019 and headquartered in Eldorado, Illinois, delivering trauma-focused therapy and family support services to children, adolescents, young adults (birth to age 30), and their families across four counties in southern Illinois (Saline, Franklin, Jackson, Williamson). The organization operates five physical locations — Eldorado (headquarters and Family Center), Carbondale, Benton, and the recently announced Marion and Mt. Vernon offices — and embeds clinicians and Family Resource Center coordinators directly into ISBE-partnering school districts through school-based mental health services. Its delivery model is grounded in a defined set of evidence-based modalities: Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Managing and Adapting Practices (MAP), and the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT), delivered through individual, group, and family therapy plus psychological evaluations. SATTC also maintains a clinical assessment library (covering ACEs, PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and autism instruments via NovoPsych and PracticeWise integrations) and a Training Academy providing webinars, learning collaboratives, and trauma-informed care resources.

SATTC's business model blends insurance reimbursement, government grants, and sliding scale client fees. The organization is in-network with five Illinois Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (Meridian, Molina, Blue Cross Blue Shield Community Health Plan, Youth Care Health Choice, Aetna Better Health) and seven commercial insurers (Aetna, Alliance Coal Health Plan, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, Cigna, Health Alliance, Health Link, Meritain Health, United Healthcare), making Illinois Medicaid the likely primary payer. Revenue is augmented by federal and state grants — including US Department of Education awards (ROE40 Strengthening School Psychologist Workforce, ISBE School Mental Health Services), SAMHSA, HRSA Rural County Opioid Response Program, and the IL HEALS initiative — plus sliding scale fees based on family size and income under a no-deny-for-inability-to-pay policy. Sales motion is referral-driven: outreach via the CMHRN listserv, downloadable referral forms, the TherapyPortal patient portal, and embedded school partnerships. Go-to-market is regional and channel-mediated through districts and family resource centers rather than direct-to-consumer marketing.

The organization is independently governed by a Board of Directors chaired by Dr. Dhru Mukherjee with Dr. Matt Buckman as Executive Director; it holds no disclosed parent company, venture, or private equity ownership. It maintains NHSC site status, PSLF and Illinois Community Behavioral Health Care Program approval as clinician recruitment tools, and a GuideStar Bronze Seal of Transparency. No revenue, funding round, or headcount growth figures are publicly disclosed.
