Trauma

Helping adults untangle trauma held in both mind and body — so survival can shift into healing, integration, and renewed joy.

Navigating Trauma

Many adults with histories of trauma have been functioning successfully in one area of their lives, but find that other spaces – romantic relationships, self-care, eating problems or maintaining sobriety, are “a mess”. They feel disconnected from, and even at war with, their own bodies as they get hijacked by old physical and emotional memories.

Through compassionate guidance and evidence-based techniques, our therapists help unravel the tangled emotions and memories that haunt the mind and body. Together, we forge a safe space to confront the past, fostering healing and resilience. Each session becomes a journey of discovery, where understanding replaces confusion, and hope and calmness restore a body previously ruled by fear and pain. Therapy for trauma is not just about surviving; it’s about reclaiming joy and rebuilding a future filled with possibility.

  • Heal trauma with somatic techniques to calm your body and mind, and Internal Family Systems to understand your relationships to your self and important others.

  • We use techniques like CBT or EMDR to address specific symptoms such as anxiety, flashbacks, or avoidance behaviors.

  • Clients learn to challenge and reframe negative thought patterns that stem from the trauma. Therapy fosters resilience and agency by empowering individuals to regain a sense of control over their lives and reactions.

  • We provide a secure environment to process and understand traumatic experiences without judgment or pressure.

How We Support Those Affected by Trauma

Trauma can affect how we think, feel, relate to others, and experience the world long after a difficult event has passed. We provide compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals coping with the effects of trauma, helping them better understand their responses, develop effective coping strategies, and regain a sense of safety and control. Through a collaborative and individualized approach, we support clients in processing painful experiences, building resilience, and moving toward meaningful, lasting healing.
