Trauma Therapy
Trauma is a fact of life. Fully 70% of adults in America have experienced a traumatic event at some point in their lives, whether it be a life-threatening incident or illness, physical or sexual assault, or a devastating loss. Sometimes, the fear and helplessness experienced during the event stay with us even after the danger has passed, interfering with our ability to live fully and confidently.
The good news is that our tools for healing trauma are more powerful than ever. Modern research in trauma and PTSD has revealed much about the way trauma is stored in the brain and body, and how mindful attention and somatic awareness can bring about deep healing and personal growth. Our clinicians are well versed in cutting edge approaches to trauma resolution, including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, EMDR, and Somatic Experiencing.
Our approach to trauma treatment works to help you:
Learn how to resource and soothe your nervous system in moments of stress
Feel safer in your body and in the world
Reconnect with your inner power and resilience
Open up to nourishing connections and relationships
Be released from negative beliefs formed in the wake of trauma
Unlock the growth potential that comes with enduring a traumatic experience (click here to learn about post-traumatic growth)
While exploration and resolution of trauma often occurs as part of a general somatic therapy experience, we are also available for brief, targeted courses of therapy focused on a particular traumatic event and its impact. You can let us know what you are looking for in the contact form.
