Heal from Trauma with Therapy That Honors Your Story
Compassionate, evidence-based support for healing and reconnection
Healing Happens in Connection, Not Isolation
Trauma can shape how you see yourself, relate to others, and move through the world. You may feel like you're constantly on edge, numb, disconnected, or overwhelmed by emotions that seem out of your control. You might not even have the words for what’s wrong—just a sense that something isn’t right.
At Growth Psychotherapy, we specialize in supporting individuals living with the effects of trauma, whether from a single event, ongoing experiences, or childhood wounds that still linger today.
Our trauma therapy offers a safe, respectful space to begin healing at your own pace—with a therapist who listens without judgment and tailors the process to your unique needs.
What Is Trauma Therapy?
Trauma therapy is an approach to psychotherapy that gently helps you process distressing experiences, reconnect with your body and emotions, and build the capacity to feel safe again—within yourself and in your relationships.
At Growth Psychotherapy, we draw from evidence-based, trauma-informed modalities such as:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
Somatic and body-based approaches
Attachment-Based Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
Emotion-Focused and Narrative Therapy
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Whether your trauma is related to childhood neglect, abuse, discrimination, relationship harm, violence, or vicarious trauma from caregiving or frontline work—we’re here to support your path forward.
How Trauma May Be Showing Up in Your Life
Persistent anxiety, irritability, or emotional overwhelm
Flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive memories
Feelings of shame, guilt, or self-blame
Difficulty trusting others or forming close relationships
Detachment, numbness, or disconnection from your body
People-pleasing, perfectionism, or feeling "on alert" all the time
Feeling like you’ve lost your sense of self or direction
You’re not broken. These are normal responses to overwhelming experiences and they can shift with the right support.
What You Can Expect in Trauma Therapy
A collaborative process that moves at your pace
We won’t push you to talk about anything before you’re ready. Safety, trust, and consent are the foundation of our work together.
Therapists trained in trauma-informed care
We are committed to creating a space that centers your autonomy, voice, and wisdom.
