Trauma Therapy

Trauma affects more than memories — it shapes how we move through the world. With warmth and care, we offer a space to process those experiences and begin building safety, strength, and trust in yourself again.

Finding Healing After Trauma

Most people will experience some form of trauma in their lifetime—whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the loss of a loved one, a violent event, or a natural disaster.

While many recover over time with support from loved ones, others find that trauma leaves behind lasting emotional pain, fear, or confusion that doesn’t fade. When trauma symptoms persist, therapy can be a critical part of the healing process.

Common Trauma Symptoms

Trauma affects everyone differently, but according to the DSM-5, symptoms typically fall into four categories:

Avoidance Symptoms

  • Avoiding places, people, or situations that bring back memories
  • Feeling numb, anxious, or disconnected
  • Experiencing guilt or depression

Re-Experiencing Symptoms

  • Nightmares or flashbacks
  • Intrusive or unwanted thoughts about the trauma

Hyperarousal Symptoms

  • Irritability or anger
  • Difficulty sleeping or relaxing
  • Reckless behavior or self-harm
  • Constantly feeling “on edge” or hyper-aware

Negative Mood and Cognition Symptoms

  • Loss of interest in things you once enjoyed
  • Difficulty recalling details of the traumatic event
  • Changes in behavior or thinking since the trauma

If these symptoms sound familiar, know that help is available—and healing is possible.

How Trauma Therapy Can Help

Psychotherapy has been shown to be the most effective treatment for trauma, especially approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). These techniques help you:

  • Process painful memories in a safe, guided way
  • Learn tools to manage your triggers
  • Rebuild your sense of control, trust, and safety
  • Move forward with clarity, confidence, and peace

You don’t have to carry the weight of trauma alone.
