What Is Trauma-Informed Therapy?
Trauma-informed therapy is an approach that recognizes the widespread impact of trauma and prioritizes safety, trust, and choice throughout the healing process. This means:
- We acknowledge the emotional and physical effects of trauma on daily life.
- We avoid re-traumatization by ensuring therapy feels supportive and controlled.
- We center your voice and your comfort in every session.
Rather than pushing you to “move on” quickly, we help you gently explore and understand how your experiences have shaped you—so you can start reclaiming your sense of self.
How We Support Trauma Recovery
We tailor each session to your needs using evidence-based modalities such as:
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) – for processing traumatic memories without reliving them.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) – to explore and heal the protective “parts” of yourself.
- Mindfulness & Somatic Practices – to help regulate the nervous system and reconnect with your body safely.
