Our Trauma Specialties
Present Trauma
Present trauma refers to recent traumatic experiences that are still fresh and raw. Therapy can help you process these events, manage immediate symptoms, and begin the healing process.
Acute Trauma
Acute trauma results from a single distressing event, such as an accident or natural disaster. Our therapy can help you process the shock and distress, providing tools to manage anxiety and rebuild a sense of safety.
Chronic Trauma
Long-term trauma, or chronic trauma, occurs over an extended period, such as ongoing abuse or prolonged exposure to distressing situations. Therapy helps in processing these long-term effects, promoting healing and recovery.
Generational Trauma
Generational trauma is passed down through generations, affecting families and communities. Our approach helps break these cycles, offering healing for both individuals and their families.
Birth Trauma
Birth trauma affects those who have had distressing birth experiences. Therapy can help process these experiences, support recovery and reclaim your post-birth life.
Sexual Trauma
Sexual trauma encompasses any unwanted sexual experience that causes significant emotional, psychological, or physical distress. Trauma therapy can help by providing a safe, supportive space to process these experiences, reduce their emotional impact, and foster healing and resilience.
Complex Trauma
Complex trauma involves exposure to multiple traumatic events, often of an interpersonal nature. Our therapy addresses the intricate layers of complex trauma, promoting deep and lasting healing.
Developmental Trauma
Childhood trauma, or developmental trauma, can have a profound impact on your adult life. We offer specialized support to process these early experiences, helping you heal and build a healthier present and future.
PTSD Support
Our practice also offers comprehensive support for those dealing with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). We understand how debilitating PTSD can be, and our tailored therapy plans aim to reduce symptoms and improve your quality of life.
Our Modalities
We draw on a variety of leading, evidence based therapeutical modalities in our therapeutic work. Together, we will create a customized approach to help you find healing and hope.
- Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF CBT): This evidence-based approach helps you understand and change the negative thought patterns and behaviors associated with trauma, promoting healing and resilience.
- Somatic Experiencing: Peter Levine Somatic Experiencing is foundational to our trauma therapy. This approach focuses on the body’s physical responses to trauma, helping you release stored tension and build resilience by reconnecting with your body’s natural ability to heal.
- Mindfulness: Mindfulness practices help you stay present and grounded, reducing anxiety and improving emotional regulation by fostering a deeper awareness of your thoughts and feelings.
- Spirituality: For those who find comfort in spiritual practices, we integrate your beliefs into therapy, promoting a sense of connection and inner peace
- Psychological First Aid: This approach provides immediate support and stabilization in the aftermath of trauma, helping you cope with the initial shock and begin the healing process.
- DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy): DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing self-destructive behaviors, making it particularly effective for those dealing with complex trauma.
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): EMDR helps process and integrate traumatic memories by using bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, to reduce the emotional impact of traumatic events.
