Trauma & PTSD
Reviewed by Jeremy Phelps, MA, LCPC
Trauma is what the nervous system learned from a hard experience and kept doing long after the event ended. Therapy helps you make sense of those patterns and reduce their grip on your current life.
In session
What this looks like in therapy.
We go at your pace. Nothing gets pushed before you are ready.
We use approaches with strong evidence for trauma, including CPT and elements of CBT, alongside grounding and stabilization work.
The goal is to make what happened less activating, so your past stops setting the tone for your present. Erasing it is not possible. Loosening its grip is.
You might be here because
Any of these sound familiar?
- Something from the past still intrudes on the present and you are tired of it.
- You are easily startled, on edge, or shut down, and you know why.
- Relationships feel harder than they should, and familiar patterns keep repeating.
- You have done some work on this before and you want to go further.
If this sounds like where you are, a call is the next step.
A free 15-minute consultation. No forms, no commitments. Just a conversation to see whether working together makes sense for what you are carrying.
