Trauma Therapy & PTSD
Gentle, trauma-informed care that helps painful memories stop haunting the present — at a pace that always feels safe.
About Trauma Therapy & PTSD
Upsetting, confusing, or life-threatening events — abuse, loss, divorce, violence — can shake your sense of safety and leave scary memories and reminders that follow you into daily life. Trauma therapy prioritizes safety and nervous-system regulation first, then helps your brain and body finally process what happened so it stops controlling the present. Our therapists use EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), DBT, mindfulness, and trauma narratives — examining your history, establishing safety, gently reprocessing memories, and building relaxation skills.

Frequently asked
Do I have to talk about every detail of what happened?
No. Trauma-informed care starts with safety and regulation, and approaches like EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) let your brain reprocess memories without describing everything out loud. You stay in control the whole time.
What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps your brain reprocess distressing memories using brief sets of guided bilateral stimulation, so they lose their emotional charge and feel like the past instead of the present.
