Trauma Therapy & Trauma Recovery
Healing from Trauma, PTSD & Complex PTSD
Is your past showing up in your present in ways you can’t control?
Trauma lives in the body and nervous system—not just in memories. It leaves its mark on your sense of self, your relationships, and how you move through the world. At Integrative Psychotherapy and Wellness, we address trauma at its core. Our approach helps you identify and release trauma where it resides, teaching your nervous system to feel safe again, while also helping you recognize ways your trauma has colored world views and interactions. Together, you’ll develop the tools to regulate your nervous system, strengthen relationships, challenge controlling beliefs, and reclaim your sense of wellbeing.
Our integrated approach to trauma therapy combines:
Safety and Stabilization
Building resources and skills to manage distress before processing trauma
Trauma Psychoeducation
Understanding what is happening in the body when trauma takes hold
Nervous System Regulation
Learning to recognize and shift your stress responses
Compassionate Processing
Working through traumatic experiences at a pace that feels manageable
Embodied Healing
Connecting with your body's wisdom in the healing process
Integration and Meaning-Making
Finding ways to carry your story forward with self-compassion
Types of Trauma We Work With:
Traumatic Stress & Events (PTSD)
When an event overwhelms your current ability to cope, survival instincts kick in. Yet, even after such alarming incidents have passed, your body can still find difficulty in recognizing safety. We partner with you to calm fear responses while strengthening, recognizing and affirming your innate resilience and wisdom.
Complex Trauma (C-PTSD)
Healing from repeated or prolonged trauma, especially from childhood, requires specific approaches that address the deep impact on identity, relationships, and emotional regulation. We'll work together to reconnect with parts of yourself that developed to survive difficult circumstances.
Attachment Trauma
Early relationships and experiences with caregivers shape our understanding of safety, trust, and connection. We help you explore these patterns with compassion, rebuilding your capacity for secure connection—both with yourself and others.
Relational Trauma
Harmful experiences in important relationships can create lasting wounds. Our work together helps you process these experiences while developing new templates for healthy, nurturing relationships.
Sexual Trauma
Recovery from sexual trauma involves reclaiming your sense of safety, boundaries, and connection with your body. We provide a deeply respectful environment where healing can unfold at your own pace.
What to Expect

- Create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs and goals
- Develop practical skills for managing trauma responses in daily life
