Trauma Therapy
When unresolved trauma takes hold, it can impact your relationships, your sense of self, and your ability to move through the world with confidence and peace.
What is Trauma?
Trauma is the emotional and physiological response to experiences that feel overwhelming, frightening, or deeply distressing. It can result from a single event, repeated experiences over time, or ongoing situations where you felt unsafe, powerless, or unsupported.
Trauma is not defined by the event itself, but by how your nervous system and mind responded to it. When something is too much to fully process in the moment, those experiences can become “stuck,” showing up later as emotional triggers, body sensations, or patterns of fear, avoidance, or numbness.
Trauma therapy helps your system fully process these experiences so they no longer feel as overwhelming or present in your daily life.
Common Trauma Responses
Emotional Overwhelm
Feeling easily triggered, anxious, or emotionally reactive.
Numbness or Disconnection
Feeling detached from emotions, others, or yourself.
Physical Stress Responses
Tension, hypervigilance, fatigue, or difficulty relaxing.
Types of Trauma We Work With
Trauma can take many forms, including:
Childhood trauma or neglect
Relationship or attachment trauma
Single-incident trauma (accidents, loss, medical events)
Chronic or ongoing stress experiences
Emotional or psychological abuse
Complex trauma (repeated or long-term exposure to distress)
What Sessions are like:
Trauma therapy is paced carefully and collaboratively—you are always in control of the process. We move at a speed that feels safe, focusing first on stability and coping before exploring deeper material.
Approaches may include EMDR, somatic awareness, cognitive techniques, and other evidence-based methods designed to help your nervous system process and release stored trauma responses.
Telehealth sessions are also available for added comfort and accessibility.
Healing from trauma is possible
You don’t have to carry the weight of the past alone. Therapy can help you move forward with greater safety, clarity, and ease.
