Online Trauma Therapy
Trauma can come from a single event or from years of feeling unsafe, unseen, or unsupported. It can show up as being on edge, feeling disconnected, or struggling in relationships. You don't need to have a particular kind of story for your experience to count.
Trauma therapy begins with safety and steadiness, then helps you understand and work through what happened at a pace that feels manageable. Depending on your needs, your clinician may draw on EMDR, which helps process distressing memories; IFS-informed parts work, which explores the protective parts of you; somatic approaches, which pay attention to what your body is holding; and psychodynamic therapy, which looks at how past experiences shape the present.
How therapy can help
- Build a sense of safety and steadiness before going into painful material
- Understand how past experiences affect your body, emotions, and relationships
- Process difficult memories at a pace you help set
- Develop ways to manage strong reactions when they come up
What to expect
- Getting to know you: You and your clinician talk about your history, your goals, and what feels safe to explore. You don't have to share everything right away.
- Building stability: You practice ways to feel steadier and more grounded.
- Working through experiences: When you're ready, you and your clinician address difficult memories using the approach that fits you.
- Moving forward: You check in on what has changed and focus on the life you want to build.
Sessions take place by secure video. You'll need a private space and a stable internet connection.
