THE PAST MATTERS. IT DOESN’T HAVE TO KEEP RUNNING THE PRESENT.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma doesn’t always look like a vivid memory of something terrible that happened.
Sometimes it looks like anxiety that seems to come out of nowhere. Feeling on edge even when you know you’re safe. Shutting down during conflict. Avoiding certain situations without fully understanding why. Struggling to trust, receive affection, tolerate vulnerability, or feel comfortable in your own body.
You may understand your patterns intellectually and still find yourself repeating them.
That’s because trauma isn’t only something we remember. It can shape how the nervous system responds to the present.
Trauma therapy can help you process what happened while changing the patterns that continue to affect your life, relationships, and sense of self.
TRAUMA THERAPY IS MORE THAN TALKING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED
You don’t have to tell the whole story to heal from it.
Traditional talk therapy can create valuable insight, but insight alone doesn’t always change an automatic emotional or physiological response.
Trauma therapy works with more than the story.
We pay attention to what happens in your thoughts, emotions, body, relationships, and nervous system—and help your brain process experiences that may still feel unresolved.
You remain in control of the pace and direction of the work. Trauma therapy does not require repeatedly recounting painful experiences or pushing yourself into material you are not ready to address.
Trauma Support with Bilateral Stimulation
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a cognitive approach that focuses on replacing negative thoughts with positive ones and guiding clients through traumatic events by addressing beliefs about the trauma.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
ART is visually-based, concentrating solely on images and actively engaging the body to support voluntary image replacement, emphasizing a more rapid and direct approach.
Additional approaches to trauma therapy
Somatic & nervous-system work
Trauma often has a physical component.
We may work with body awareness, sensation, grounding, emotional regulation, and nervous-system responses to help you recognize what happens inside you before you automatically fight, flee, freeze, shut down, or disconnect.
Attachment-focused therapy
When trauma occurs within relationships, it can affect how safe closeness feels.
Attachment-focused work explores patterns around trust, vulnerability, boundaries, emotional connection, and intimacy while helping you develop new ways of relating to yourself and others.
We can start with where you are now.
You don’t need to know which type of trauma therapy you need or have your history organized before reaching out.
Your 45-minute video consultation gives us time to talk about what you’re experiencing, what you would like to change, and whether working together feels like the right fit.
Trauma therapy is available online throughout Texas.
