When life keeps your body in survival mode, therapy can help you find safety again.

Trauma can shape how you think, feel, and respond, often long after the event has passed. You may feel “on edge,” emotionally numb, easily overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns you can’t fully explain. Trauma therapy offers a structured, compassionate space to understand what happened, reduce distressing symptoms, and rebuild a sense of safety and control.

Complex Trauma & Identity

Types of Trauma We Support:

Our clinicians commonly support clients navigating:

  • Single-incident trauma

  • Complex trauma (ongoing stress, chronic invalidation, repeated relational harm)

  • Childhood trauma

  • Attachment wounds (inconsistent caregiving, betrayal, emotional neglect)

  • Trauma-related anxiety and depression

  • PTSD symptoms (when present), including hypervigilance, nightmares, and avoidance, dissociation

We don’t assume one story fits everyone. Your therapy plan is tailored to your history, goals, and readiness.

What Trauma Can Look Like:

Trauma is not only what happened it’s also what happens inside you afterward. Trauma responses can show up in many ways, including:

  • feeling constantly alert, startled, or unable to relax

  • anxiety, panic, or intense worry

  • emotional numbness, disconnection, or shutdown

  • irritability, anger, or feeling easily overwhelmed

  • difficulty sleeping, nightmares, or intrusive memories

  • shame, self-blame, or harsh self-criticism

  • avoidance of people, places, or emotions

  • relationship difficulties, trust issues, or fear of abandonment

  • people pleasing

  • identity confusion

Therapeutic Modalities

  • CBT helps you identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and self-doubt. It's practical, goal-oriented, and focused on building tools you can use in everyday life.

  • DBT helps you manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive behaviors, and improve your relationships. It combines acceptance and change by teaching skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication.

  • IFS explores your internal world as a system of “parts” - each with its own role and voice. This approach helps you develop compassion for yourself and heal from within by unburdening parts that carry pain or trauma.

  • Our early relationships shape how we connect with others. Attachment-based therapy explores those patterns and helps you build healthier, more secure connections - with yourself and those you care about.

  • ACT helps you stop fighting difficult thoughts and emotions, and instead, focus on what truly matters to you. Through mindfulness, acceptance strategies, and values-based action, ACT empowers you to live a more meaningful life, even in the presence of discomfort or uncertainty.

  • Learn to calm your body’s stress response and reconnect with a sense of safety. Together, we help your nervous system shift from survival to balance using simple, body-based tools and gentle awareness.
