How Trauma Therapy Works Here
Stabilize & build safety – Grounding, nervous-system regulation, and coping skills.Map your story & goals – Identify targets and strengths; align on pace and preferences.
Trauma processing – EMDR and/or IFS-informed work when readiness and supports are in place.
Integrate & strengthen – Practice new patterns, reconnect with values, restore relationships.
Maintain gains – Relapse-prevention tools and a plan for future stressors.
Approaches We Use
EMDR Therapy – Uses bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories so they feel less vivid, less charged, and more “in the past.” We prepare carefully and go at a pace that feels doable.IFS-Informed (Internal Family Systems) – Compassionate “parts” work to unburden protective parts (e.g., the hypervigilant part) and heal wounded parts without shame.
ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) – Practical skills for thoughts/feelings, values clarification, and committed action in daily life.
Neurofeedback – Non-invasive brain training that helps downshift hyperarousal, improve sleep, and increase emotional regulation—often making EMDR/parts work more comfortable and effective. Many trauma clients use neurofeedback before or alongside processing. Learn more on our Neurofeedback page.
