Trauma-Informed Therapies
Therapy That Helps You Feel Safe in Your Body Again
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected after trauma, you’re not alone and you don’t have to push yourself to talk through everything to begin healing.
Our therapists use body-based and evidence-based approaches, including Somatic Experiencing and Written Exposure Therapy, to help you move forward at a pace that feels safe.
You Might Be Feeling…
- Constantly on edge or easily triggered
- Emotionally numb or disconnected
- Overwhelmed by stress or anxiety
- Stuck in patterns you can’t “think” your way out of
- Like your body reacts before your mind can catch up
These are common responses to trauma. Your nervous system may still be trying to protect you—even when you’re safe.
Healing doesn’t have to start with reliving everything.
A Different Approach to Trauma Therapy
Many people come to therapy expecting they’ll have to talk through every detail of what happened.
But trauma isn’t just stored in memories—it lives in the body and nervous system.
Our approach focuses on:
- Helping your body feel safe again
- Working at a pace that doesn’t overwhelm you
- Giving you tools to regulate, not just understand
You don’t have to force yourself to go there before you’re ready.
What Healing Can Look Like
- Feeling calmer and more in control
- Less reactive to triggers
- More connected to your body and emotions
- Able to move forward instead of feeling stuck
Healing doesn’t mean forgetting; it means your body no longer has to stay in survival mode.
Start with Safety: Somatic Experiencing
For many clients, healing begins by reconnecting with their body—not retelling their story.
Somatic Experiencing is a gentle, body-based approach that helps:
- Calm an overactive nervous system
- Reduce anxiety, shutdown, and reactivity
- Release stored stress and trauma responses
- Build a sense of safety and control in your body
Instead of focusing on the past, we focus on what your body is experiencing right now—and how to help it settle.
Best fit if you:
- Feel overwhelmed or easily triggered
- Don’t have words for what you’re feeling
- Have tried talk therapy but still feel stuck
- Want a slower, more grounded approach
When You’re Ready: Written Exposure Therapy
For some clients, once there’s more stability and support, it can be helpful to process the trauma more directly.
Written Exposure Therapy (WET) is a structured, time-limited intervention that helps individuals process traumatic experiences through guided writing exercises, allowing the brain to gradually integrate and make sense of distressing memories.
What it involves:
- Guided writing about the traumatic experience
- A clear, focused structure (typically 5 sessions)
- Support from a trained therapist throughout
Why clients choose WET:
- It’s efficient and goal-oriented
- Backed by strong research
- Doesn’t require repeated verbal retelling
This process is structured and supportive. You won’t be rushed into it, and you won’t be asked to do more than feels manageable. We make sure you have the foundation and support you need before beginning.
