What Is Trauma?

“Trauma” describes the emotional and physical effects that can follow distressing experiences such as accidents, abuse, loss, medical crises, neglect, community or family conflict, and other overwhelming events. Trauma can look different from person to person. You might notice:

• Persistent anxiety, irritability, or anger
• Nightmares, flashbacks, or intrusive memories
• Feeling on edge, numb, or disconnected
• Avoiding places, people, or conversations that remind you of what happened
• Headaches, muscle tension, sleep changes, or stomach issues
• Trouble concentrating or feeling like you’re “stuck”

These responses are understandable adaptations to stress. With the right support, your nervous system can learn to feel safer, your relationships can strengthen, and daily life can become more manageable again.

What Happens During Trauma Therapy?

Your therapist will start by getting to know you, your story, strengths, and goals, so treatment is tailored specifically to your needs. We create a steady foundation first: skills for calm, clarity, and safety. From there, therapy may include:

• CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). Identifying and reshaping thought patterns that keep you stuck in fear, shame, or self-blame.
• DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). Building practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier boundaries.
• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). A structured approach that helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories so they feel less intense and less present-day.
• Music Therapy. Using music and rhythm to support expression, grounding, and nervous system regulation—especially helpful for children and teens, and for adults who prefer creative modalities.

Throughout treatment, we move at your speed. Sessions may focus on stabilizing symptoms, processing memories in a controlled way, improving communication, and rebuilding trust with yourself and others. Care is available in-person or online, during daytime, evening, and weekend hours to fit your schedule.
