We recognize that trauma can deeply affect every aspect of your life, and healing from it takes time and care.We begin by focusing on safety—both in the therapeutic relationship and in how we approach your experiences. Trauma can leave you feeling disconnected, anxious, or even overwhelmed by memories, so we prioritize building trust and helping you feel in control of the process.
Our approach is trauma-informed, meaning we are sensitive to how past experiences shape your present emotions and behaviors. We take care to move at a pace that feels right for you, ensuring that we don’t re-trigger or overwhelm you as we explore your trauma.
We use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you process distressing thoughts and memories related to your trauma. This method allows us to reframe harmful thought patterns and address the impact they have on your emotional well-being.
Mindfulness is another important tool, helping you stay grounded in the present moment, especially when trauma causes flashbacks or overwhelming emotions. By practicing mindfulness, you can learn to manage these responses in healthier, more balanced ways.
Additionally, we draw from Adlerian therapy, focusing on your resilience. Trauma can leave you feeling powerless, but we work to reconnect you with your inner resources and help you rediscover your sense of worth and direction.
Finally, our solution-focused approach encourages actionable steps toward healing. While we honor the need to process and understand your trauma, we also focus on practical ways to help you feel more in control of your life and your future.
Our goal is to help you heal from trauma in a way that restores your sense of safety, empowers you to regain control, and guides you toward a life where you can feel grounded and whole once again.
