Trauma
Are you struggling with disturbing memories that cause flashbacks, nightmares, and daily hypervigilance? Trauma therapists are dedicated to helping you find ways to safely process trauma and minimize its impact and symptoms.
It is easy to feel isolated and disconnected from the world around you when your brain spends much of its time in survival mode. If you have experienced trauma in your life or witnessed a traumatic event, you may be experiencing events that affect your daily life and relationships.
At our practice you can work with skilled therapists that implement evidence based practice such as EMDR, CPT, and Emotional Freedom techniques (EFT) to reduce impact of trauma and improve overall quality of life.
Trauma shows up in every part of people’s lives. You may be experiencing any of the following:
Flashbacks, nightmares, psychological distress, physical reactions to trauma reminders
Avoiding thoughts or feelings and conversations about the trauma. Avoiding people and places that trigger memories
Negative change in mood and cognition, persistent negative beliefs about self or world around you, distorted blame of self or others
Negative emotions like fear, anger, guilt, and shame
Detachment or estrangement from others
Loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyed
Difficulty feeling positive emotions
Hypervigilance, heightened startle response, issues concentrating, angry outburst
Trauma-focused therapy and EMDR can help you feel better:
EMDR and other trauma-informed care are powerful, researched backed approaches that can help individuals heal from trauma exposure.
EMDR allows the brain to reprocess distressing memories in a way that reduces emotional charge, intensity, and feeling of overwhelm.
Trauma-informed practice prioritizes safety, empowerment, and collaboration, while recognizing how trauma can affect the brain and body.
Therapists support healing by building trust, reducing shame, and restoring a sense of control and increasing resilience.
We’re here to help.
