Therapy for PTSD
When the past keeps showing up in the present
What Trauma Does
After a traumatic experience, the nervous system doesn’t simply reset. It stays mobilized — scanning for threats, reacting to reminders, keeping you on edge even when you know you’re safe. This can look like flashbacks, nightmares, emotional numbness, or an inability to relax that you can’t explain. Many people live with these responses for years without connecting them to something that happened, especially when the original event was in childhood or was never named as trauma.
How We Work
Trauma work requires careful pacing. We move toward the difficult material without overwhelming you — neither pushing past what you can handle nor letting avoidance run the process. The work involves understanding how the experience reshaped your sense of yourself and others, and what parts of your life got narrowed or shut off as a result.
Depending on your experience and what you respond to, we use somatic methods, EMDR, and depth psychotherapy. Some people see real change in a few months of focused work. Complex trauma or trauma rooted in early development usually takes longer — there is no fixed timeline, and we are straightforward about that.
