how we work on this together

The complexity of traumatic events requires that you and your therapist work together to understand what happened, how it it is creating daily life interference, and how to help you recover. Because every person and every traumatic event is unique, every course of therapy is, too.

Treatment for trauma is evidence-informed. Treatment plans are goal-focused and client-specific. Sometimes treatment is relatively short and sometimes clients may benefit from longer-term care. We collaborate with our clients and rely on data to ensure we are making headway towards goals and values.

Your therapist will work to create a safe space to speak honestly about your experience. Treatment will focus on skills and processing to help you feel more stable with your emotions and reactions. Oftentimes, our treatments include out-of-session work to impact your everyday life. The goal of therapy is to reduce the volume of the trauma interference, allowing you to put your energy towards what is important to you.

  • cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
