Frequently Asked Questions

What is trauma therapy?
Trauma therapy is a specialized approach to counseling that recognizes and emphasizes understanding how a traumatic experience impacts a person’s mental, behavioral, emotional, and physical well-being. The focus is on creating a safe and supportive environment where you can process your experiences without feeling re-traumatized. It is designed to help you heal and build resilience.

How do I know if I need trauma therapy?
If you’ve experienced a distressing event and find yourself struggling with persistent anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, emotional numbness, or difficulties in your relationships, trauma therapy could be beneficial. You don’t need an official diagnosis to seek support. If you feel that past experiences are holding you back from living the life you want, therapy can help.

How can trauma therapy help me?
Therapy can help you make sense of your experiences and reduce the emotional charge they hold. It provides tools to manage symptoms like anxiety and hypervigilance, helps you rebuild a sense of trust in yourself and others, and empowers you to move forward. The goal is to help you integrate your experiences in a healthy way so you can live a more peaceful and present life.

What should I expect in a session?
Your first few sessions will focus on building a trusting relationship with your therapist. You will be in control of the pace and will never be forced to talk about anything you aren’t ready to discuss. Sessions are a collaborative effort where you’ll explore your experiences, learn coping strategies, and work toward your personal healing goals in a confidential and non-judgmental space.
