Therapy modality

Trauma therapy.

Trauma can change how you think, feel, and relate to the world. Trauma therapy helps you process those experiences safely, rebuild trust, and begin to heal — at a pace you control.

How it works

Three phases, always at your pace.

Effective trauma therapy unfolds in phases that prioritize safety before depth.

Stabilization

Building grounding and coping skills so you feel safe before deeper work begins — breathing techniques, sensory awareness, and self-soothing tools.

Processing

Exploring memories and emotions connected to trauma in a controlled, supportive environment, always within tolerance and never forced.

Integration

Rebuilding self-confidence, relationships, and daily routines — the work of carrying what happened without being defined by it.

Who it's for

Trauma therapy is well-suited for these patterns.

  • Post-traumatic stress disorder — flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance
  • Complex trauma from long-term or repeated experiences, including childhood trauma
  • Grief and loss connected to trauma
  • Substance use that began, or continues, as a way to cope with trauma symptoms
FAQ

Common questions about trauma therapy.

What is trauma therapy?

Trauma therapy is counseling focused on understanding and reducing the impact of traumatic experiences. It creates a safe, supportive environment to talk about what happened, learn coping skills, and regain a sense of control.

Will I have to talk about everything right away?

No. Trauma therapy moves at your pace. Coping skills come first, and your therapist won't push you to discuss memories before you're ready.

How is trauma therapy different from trauma-focused CBT?

Trauma-focused CBT is one specific, structured protocol within trauma therapy. Trauma therapy more broadly includes stabilization and integration work that surrounds and supports that protocol, tailored to each patient's pace and needs.
