Instead of replaying memories or feeling stuck in them, therapy helps you process what happened so it has less power over your day-to-day life.
That constant edge, tension, or startle response? You’ll learn ways to feel safer in your body and respond to stress without going into overdrive.
Whether you feel everything all at once or nothing at all, therapy helps you safely explore your emotions so they feel more manageable — not scary or numbing.
Trauma can shake your sense of safety and self-trust. Therapy helps you rebuild confidence in your thoughts, feelings, and decisions moving forward.
Starting trauma therapy can feel like a big step. We make the process clear, supportive, and actually doable.
You won’t get randomly assigned. We take time to understand your experiences, goals, and preferences, then connect you with a therapist who truly fits.
It begins with a free 10–15 minute consultation, followed by a deeper initial session to explore your story and map out what healing can look like for you.
Our clinicians are trained in trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches, and know how to move at your pace, not rush your process.
From ongoing therapy to short-term or more intensive support, we offer options designed to meet you where you are, emotionally and logistically.
We’re an out-of-network provider, but we help you navigate reimbursement with clear documentation so you can make the most of your benefits.
Fill out our form, give us a call, or send an email. We’ll schedule a brief 10–15 minute consultation to learn what you’re looking for.
Based on your needs, preferences, and goals, we’ll connect you with a trauma-informed therapist who’s a strong fit.
Start with an initial session where you can share your story, set goals, and begin building a plan for healing, together.
During sessions, we will collaboratively help you recognize ways in which your traumatic experiences have impacted your thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. Next, we’ll identify what has gotten in the way of moving forward and start to work towards removing those roadblocks.
Given that trauma symptoms are often maintained by avoiding any thoughts, places, or people that prompt those symptoms, we will help you build your readiness to safely confront the sources of your fears. To do so, we’ll equip you with effective coping skills for managing your distress and relaxing your body.
What these skills look like depends on what works best for you. For example, maybe you know that exercise, meditation, or making art helps you feel less tense. By using those tools, combined with the new skills you learn in therapy, we can help you move toward a future that includes less worry and more freedom.
Our practice draws from a wide range of evidence-based treatment methods. To help you learn to tolerate and reduce your distress, we often utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE). And to help you reframe your perspective and overcome negative beliefs related to trauma (such as “My experience was my fault”), we may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).
As we work together, we will incorporate whatever approaches and modalities are best suited for your situation. Along the way, we will help you celebrate your successes by highlighting the progress that you have made and celebrating the skills you are starting to incorporate into your daily routine.
We understand the challenges that trauma can bring as well as how brave it is to come to therapy. We are here to help you connect with an evidence-based therapy plan that works for you and that can break you out of the exhausting cycle of memories, feelings, and behaviors you have been experiencing.
With the right help and support, you can learn more adaptive ways of being, have positive new experiences, and relate to yourself with more kindness and compassion.
It is important to know that everything we do in treatment is a collaboration between you and your therapist and we want you to feel safe at all times. That’s why we focus on gradually building up tolerance for difficult situations over time.
We’ll start by teaching you to navigate challenges that are the least anxiety-provoking. Then we’ll give you new skills and techniques, including breathing and relaxation methods, to help you cope with more difficult challenges when they arise.
This is another commonly asked question for individuals who are considering participating in therapy for trauma-related disorders. We will work with you and your prescriber to determine the plan that we believe will help you be most successful in managing your symptoms. Whether or not you stay on medication is entirely your choice.
It makes sense that you are trying to get a sense of timing and how long it will take you to feel better. People tend to feel better after several weeks of therapy, although treatment itself can take several months. As your therapists, we will help you take small steps to decrease your trauma reactions over time. Regardless of how long therapy takes, we encourage you to be kind to yourself and move at a pace that’s right for you.
