THERAPY FOR TRAUMA
Understanding Trauma Therapy
Trauma is an emotional response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that can overwhelm a person’s ability to cope. It can affect thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships, sometimes long after the event has passed. Trauma therapy provides a safe and supportive space to process and heal. Using evidence-based approaches, it helps build coping skills and reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

Our Treatment Approaches
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps you notice and shift thought patterns and behaviors that keep trauma affecting your daily life, reducing anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and avoidance.
- Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT): Guides you safely through painful memories while teaching skills to manage flashbacks, nightmares, and emotional distress.
- Narrative Therapy: Supports you in rewriting your story, helping you make sense of trauma-related guilt, shame, or confusion, and reclaim your sense of self.
- Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT): Helps you process and regulate overwhelming emotions often linked to trauma, such as fear, shame, or anger. By creating a safe space to explore these emotions, EFT supports healing, self-compassion, and healthier connections with others
- .Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Helps individuals accept difficult trauma-related thoughts and feelings rather than avoiding them. Through mindfulness and values-based living, ACT reduces the power of painful memories and promotes resilience and meaning in life after trauma.
