Trauma Therapy
How can trauma therapy help?
Trauma therapy can help you come to terms with what happened to you and help you live your life with reduced symptoms, improve relationships, and engender a deeper understanding of your experience.
We need to get those memories unstuck from the strong emotions they are holding onto and put the trauma firmly in the past.
The memory gets milder, the emotions less intense, and the trauma memory will lose its power to cause symptoms.
Now you can enjoy each day without the looming stress or fear.
You can wake up optimistic looking forward to each day while being able to enjoy each moment for what it is, and the change is incredible.
But we also go one step further and give you the tools so that you consistently return to a state of calm, and don’t have to worry about “reentering the anxiety”.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a specialized therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. This innovative approach involves bilateral stimulation (left side, right side), such as guided eye movements, to facilitate the brain's natural healing processes. By targeting distressing memories and emotions linked to trauma, EMDR helps reduce their intensity and negative impact on daily life. This technique has shown remarkable efficacy in treating various trauma-related conditions, offering a path toward healing and recovery for those who have experienced significant emotional distress.

Our trained/certified EMDR therapists will guide you through this transformative process, helping you move beyond trauma and find relief.
Somatic Experiencing (SE)
SE is a therapeutic approach that focuses on how the body responds to trauma and stress. By exploring physical sensations and bodily experiences, this method helps individuals release pent-up tension and regulate their nervous system. Somatic Experiencing aims to restore a sense of safety and ease in the body, allowing individuals to process and heal from traumatic events. By addressing the physical manifestations of trauma, this approach can support individuals in reconnecting with their body's innate capacity for self-regulation and resilience.
