Understanding Trauma
Trauma isn’t just in your mind—it lives in your body, your nervous system, and your patterns of relating to the world. Whether you experienced a single overwhelming event or ongoing developmental trauma, the effects can be profound and lasting.
Trauma-Informed Care
Our entire approach is designed with trauma in mind:
- Safety first — Creating a therapeutic environment where you feel safe
- Body-based healing — Recognizing that trauma is held in the body
- Pacing and choice — Honoring your capacity and autonomy
- Integration — Helping you process and make meaning of your experiences
Evidence-Based Trauma Treatments
- EMDR — Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for processing traumatic memories
- Somatic Experiencing — Releasing trauma stored in the body
- Internal Family Systems — Working with different parts affected by trauma
- Ketamine therapy — Creating neuroplasticity for healing
- Neurofeedback — Calming an overactive threat response
The Path to Post-Traumatic Growth
Healing from trauma is possible. Many of our patients find that they don’t just recover—they discover new depths of resilience, meaning, and connection they didn’t know were possible.
