While all therapists receive basic training, trauma therapists have specialized education in how trauma affects the brain, body, and nervous system. They're trained in specific modalities designed for trauma healing, understand trauma's complex presentations, and know how to create therapeutic environments that prioritize safety and pacing to prevent re-traumatization during the healing process.

If you experienced trauma—or suspect you did—and notice its impact on your daily life, trauma therapy can help. Some common signs include:

• Flashbacks,

• Nightmares,

• Emotional numbness,

• Hypervigilance,

• Difficulty trusting others,

• Feeling disconnected from your body,

• Anxiety,

• Depression, and

• Feeling stuck.

However, there’s no “right” or “wrong” reason to seek trauma counseling. If you’re interested in getting help, even if you’re not sure whether what you experienced is considered trauma, we encourage you to reach out.

Our approach integrates evidence-based modalities like IFS, somatic therapy, and psychodynamic work to address trauma holistically. We prioritize creating safety, helping you reconnect with your body, and processing experiences at your pace. We may also incorporate innovative treatments like ketamine-assisted psychotherapy when appropriate for deeper healing.

Trauma therapy typically begins with building safety and trust before processing traumatic memories. As sessions progress, you'll learn coping skills, explore how trauma affects your current life, and gradually work through difficult experiences with the support of your therapist. And remember, healing isn't linear—expect progress alongside setbacks—but your therapist will guide you through each phase.

Our practice could be a good match if you value both a warm, collaborative approach and cutting-edge trauma therapy techniques. Our clients tend to be interested in deeper exploration rather than quick fixes, appreciate therapists who bring their authentic selves to sessions, and want trauma treatment that addresses both mind and body.

If you’re not sure whether we’re a good fit, we invite you to schedule a free consultation call where you can ask more questions about our approach and philosophy.
