Trauma & Stress Therapy Healing from Trauma and Stress-Related Disorders

PTSD can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, creating persistent symptoms that interfere with daily life. Intrusive memories, nightmares, hypervigilance, and avoidance behaviors are common responses. Through structured therapy, we work together to process traumatic memories and develop healthy coping strategies to reduce symptoms and restore your sense of control.

• Symptom management strategies
• Hypervigilance reduction methods

Complex trauma results from prolonged, repeated exposure to traumatic situations, often beginning in childhood or within relationships of dependency. This can affect your sense of self, emotional regulation, and ability to form healthy relationships. Healing complex trauma requires patience and specialized approaches that address both the trauma itself and its impact on identity and attachment patterns.

• Emotional regulation support
• Identity and self-concept work
• Attachment and relationship healing

Acute stress disorder occurs in the immediate aftermath of a traumatic event, causing intense anxiety, dissociation, and re-experiencing symptoms. Early intervention is crucial to prevent the development of long-term trauma responses. We focus on stabilization, processing the immediate impact of the trauma, and building resilience to support your natural recovery process.
