Trauma therapy offers a safe and supportive space for you to explore and process your traumatic experiences. Our trauma counselors at Living Well Psychotherapy are trained in numerous evidence-based treatment models, such as EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic therapy, which can foster real change and empower you to live a more fulfilling life.

One of the reasons that EMDR is so effective is that it helps to activate the brain’s natural healing processes. This healing can lead to a decrease in symptoms such as intrusive thoughts, nightmares, and flashbacks. You may also find that you feel more connected to yourself and others and that your relationships improve.
