Trauma-based therapies focus on helping individuals process and heal from overwhelming or distressing experiences by creating a safe, supportive environment. Our approaches work to reduce symptoms, rebuild a sense of safety, and strengthen coping skills. These methods aim to empower people to understand their responses and restore a sense of control in their lives.
Our team of therapists include select trauma specialists who have advanced training in EMDR, DBT-PE, and TF-CBT. We take a grounded yet integrative approach to supporting clients who are healing from various forms of traumatic events or time periods in their lives.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy Prolonged Exposure (DBT-PE)
Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)
Trauma is an emotional response that may occur as a result of significant, and often life-changing, distressing events that may include threatened death, violence, serious illness, or natural disaster. Trauma leaves lasting imprints on mental, emotional, and sometimes physical well-being, and often disrupts a person’s sense of safety and security, leading to a range of responses including hypervigilance, emotional numbing, or intrusive memories.
Its effects vary widely among individuals and may persist long after the event, shaping thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. Trauma treatment involves providing a safe, compassionate environment for individuals to process their experiences, and face the emotions, thoughts, and beliefs that occurred as a result. A strong emphasis is placed on validating emotions, using coping/grounding skills, and reclaiming a sense of control and resilience in life’s narrative.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), DBT-PE (DBT Prolonged Exposure), and TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused CBT).
EMDR is a trauma treatment that uses guided eye movements (or other bilateral stimulation) to help the brain reprocess distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming.
DBT-PE combines DBT’s emotion-regulation skills with Prolonged Exposure therapy, and is often used for clients with both significant emotion dysregulation and trauma histories.
Trauma-Focused CBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with trauma-sensitive approaches, often used with children, adolescents, and families processing traumatic experiences.
