Trauma-focused therapy

Trauma therapy helps you process difficult or overwhelming experiences so they have less hold on your present. Common evidence-based approaches include EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), trauma-focused CBT, and somatic therapies that work with how trauma is held in the body. A skilled trauma therapist moves at your pace and prioritizes feeling safe before processing anything painful.

You don't need a single dramatic event to benefit from trauma-informed care — ongoing stress, loss, or adverse experiences earlier in life can all leave a mark. If you notice flashbacks, avoidance, hypervigilance, or emotional numbness, the providers below specialize in trauma and can help you understand your options.
